Damian Lillard has as many 50-point games (3) in the last two weeks as the Blazers had in their first 34 seasons as a franchise (Petrie twice and Drexler once).
"Come out here and play our hearts out. The one thing that we know for sure we had in common with Kobe is the love of this game."
—Damian Lillard wanted to go out and honor Kobe Bryant
Damian Lillard recorded his 1st career triple-double in Wednesday's win over the Rockets.
Lillard's effort was also the 1st 30-point triple-double by a Trail Blazer since Clyde Drexler on Nov. 13, 1990.
I had the honor to shake Kobe’s hand before my first ever NBA game. The man was a legend and that is a moment I will never forget. Prayers to his family and friends. Life is fragile. 🙏🏼
