Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Paces Portland in loss

Lillard tallied a season-high 27 points (11-23 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists and five rebounds over 39 minutes in a loss to the Clippers on Tuesday.

The star point guard appears to be rediscovering his stroke after a rough start to the campaign, and he has led Portland in scoring in each of their past two contests. Lillard has averaged 26.0 points while shooting 47.6 percent from the field over the pair of games while draining 10 total three-pointers. Unfortunately for the Blazers, Lillard's resurgence has coincided with a mini-slump by backcourt mate CJ McCollum, who is averaging only 10.0 points and shooting 30 percent from the field over the same span.
