NBA star Damian Lillard put on an impressive showing on Sunday night, setting franchise and personal records with 71 points, tied for the most in the NBA this season. He also made 13 three-pointers, one shy of the NBA record. His previous franchise record was 61 points, and he surpassed his own career record for threes with 11. The feat put him alongside legendary players Elgin Baylor, David Robinson and Donovan Mitchell for having the eighth-most points scored in a game in NBA history. Jerami Grant scored 13 in support of Lillard, while Anthony Davis and Jarred Vanderbilt led the Lakers with 30 points and 15 points and 17 rebounds, respectively.
