NBA World reacts to Damian Lillard’s 71 points performance against Rockets
NBA: On Sunday night, Lillard scored 71 points and made 13 3-pointers as the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Houston Rockets 131–114.
“We’ve got 23, 22 games left after this, and we need to win as many as possible,” Lillard said on the court after the win. “Obviously being short-handed, I know that it’s going to be a team effort, but I feel like I gotta do my best to be aggressive and just try to do what I can to make sure that we get some wins. That’s all the case was tonight. I wanted to be in attack mode. I got it going, and I just stayed aggressive.”
”I enjoy those moments in the game when I’m just going after people,” Lillard said, ”when I’m in attack mode.”
”It really, really was a masterful performance,” Blazers coach Chauncey Billups said. ”It was a piece of art. That was incredible.”
For the Rockets, who are currently in last place in the Western Conference with just 13 overall victories and nine straight losses, Alperen Sengun had 17 points and 10 rebounds.
“It’s not like we didn’t give effort, he made some really tough shots,” said Rockets coach Stephen Silas “But we need everyone to give effort on the defensive end.”
