Just about six days ago, the Lakers were hanging around in their game against the Blazers until Damian Lillard decided to explode in the final period to lead them to a 98-94 victory against a Kobe-less purple and gold team. He finished that night with a game-high of 39 points.
Then on Sunday night, things went on a similar sequence as Lillard exploded again by scoring 17 of his 34 points in the final period to beat the Lakers on their home floor with the final score of 106-94. And to put the cherry on top for this victory, he gave us a spectacular highlight when he embarrassed the Lakers defense with an emphatic hammer slam that brought the crowd up from their seats for quite some time.
Wow. This kid is really something.
