Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Full stat line in Saturday win

Lillard posted 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and three steals over 29 minutes in Saturday's 112-100 victory over the Timberwolves.

Analysis:

Lillard may have played second fiddle offensively to backcourt mate C.J. McCollum, but he provided better all-around production and set up the latter for some of his scoring opportunities as well. The All-Star's point total was actually his second lowest of March, but his hot hand from the field continued, as Lillard has now shot 50 percent or better from the field in six straight games while also accomplishing the feat from three-point range in four of the last five contests. He continues to be an effective ball distributor as well, as he's dished out five or more dimes in five straight.
