Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Key turnover in overtime loss

Lillard posted 21 points (6-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 41 minutes in Monday's 109-104 overtime loss to the Hawks.

Analysis:

After a solid six-game stretch of shooting to wrap up January, Lillard has somewhat regressed in February, with Monday's effort representing his second game under 30.0 percent for the month over five contests. The fifth-year pro also slipped on a drive to the basket with 12 seconds remaining in overtime, committing a key turnover with the Blazers down just 105-104. Despite some of the aforementioned shooting struggles, Lillard's robust usage continues to allow him to generate respectable scoring totals overall, with Monday's effort marking his fourth straight game over the 20-point mark.
