Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, center, is doused by teammates after setting franchise and career highs with 71 points during an NBA basketball game against the Houston Rockets in Portland, Ore., Sunday, Feb. 26, 2023. PORTLAND, Ore. — Rockets guard Daishen Nix absorbed blow after blow and puffed out his chest with his hands in the air as if being robbed at gunpoint, a paramount of dedicated on-ball defense. If the man bumping up against him were anyone else, it might have worked.
Lillard, honored pregame for winning the All-Star weekend 3-point contest, set dual Trail Blazers franchise records with 13 3-pointers and his 71 points. In contrast, the entire Rockets roster combined to shoot 7-of-26 from 3-point range. Blazers center Drew Eubanks’ flagrant foul on Sengun seemed to ignite a second-half Rockets run, when they cut the Blazers’ lead from 23 points to 12 points in the third quarter and five points with 7:26 remaining in the fourth quarter.
