Blazers force Game 7 with 119-108 victory over Denver
PORTLAND, Ore. — The shots were finally falling for Damian Lillard.
Lillard had 32 points, including 17 in the third quarter, and the Portland Trail Blazers staved off elimination to force a decisive Game 7 in their series with Denver with a 119-108 victory on Thursday night.
Lillard had been fairly quiet for the previous two games in the semifinal series, both Portland losses.
“I think over the course of the series, at least after Game 1, I just haven’t seen the ball go in consistently enough,” Lillard said. “My job is to stay aggressive, keep doing what I do, and tonight, shots fell.”
