Damian Lillard connected on one of the most cold-blooded shots in NBA history Tuesday night, which not only won Game 5 for the Portland Trail Blazers but also bounced the Oklahoma City Thunder from the postseason.
Several of Lillard's peers from around the Association caught the series-clinching dagger and took to social media to praise the All-Star guard for his clutch bucket.
