The Portland Trail Blazers had a chance to win their series over the Houston Rockets by taking care of business on their home court Friday.
With 0.9 seconds left to play, the team trailed 98-96.
Cue Damian Lillard.
Via ESPN Stats & Info, Lillard's buzzer-beater is the first to win a postseason series since John Stockton lifted the Utah Jazz to a win over the Rockets in 1997.
Lillard's Wikipedia page was promptly updated.
