“We was coming to the bench saying, it was two teams fighting for their season,” Blazers guard Damian Lillard said. After making an impact off the bench after joining the Blazers, Hood struggled in the first round against Oklahoma City, when he totaled just 16 points in five games. He quickly made an impact, hitting pull-up jumpers from 14 and 16 feet, the second to put the Blazers up 135-134 with 44.9 seconds left. Denver retook the lead on a hook shot by Paul Millsap with 27.6 seconds left. After that, Seth Curry put the win away with two free throws with 2.8 seconds left.
