Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Scores team-high 22 in Tuesday's loss
Lillard scored 22 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding six assists, five rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 107-103 loss to the Knicks.
Analysis:
He's cooled off a bit after his hot start to the season, and this was just the second time in the last five games that Lillard has scored 20 or more points. His three-point shooting has been the main culprit, as he's just 8-for-32 (25 percent) from beyond the arc over that stretch, but given his career mark of 36.9 percent from three-point range, better times should be ahead for Lillard.
