The Sacramento Kings have the worst defense in the league, and it sure looked like it Friday night.

The porous Kings defense allowed Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard to explode for 50 points in just three quarters. Lillard canned eight threes and needed just 29 minutes to hit 50 for the first time this season.

He exploded for 22 points in the third quarter to seize control of the game for Portland, so much so that he didn't need to check back in for the fourth.

He finished with a line of 50 points and six assists on 16-of-26 shooting from the field along with a perfect 10-of-10 from the charity stripe in a comfortable 118-100 win over Sacramento.
