PORTLAND, Oregon - Portland leading scorer Damian Lillard has had a difficult time with a hovering Golden State defense and, with his team facing elimination from the NBA Western Conference finals, the Trail Blazer All-Star has a decision to make.
“I think what they want me to do is make the correct play ,” Lillard told Reuters following his team’s 110-99 Game Three loss on Saturday. ‘The Shot’ that Lillard made in the first-round playoff clincher against Oklahoma City, a 37-foot bomb, seems like a season ago. Lillard tried to find easier looks on Saturday by attacking before Golden State set its defense. But the approach led to some rushed and awkward shots during a rough 19-point night. After a while, Lillard became resigned to absorbing the defense and moving the ball along.
