Damian Lillard On Unprecedented Scoring Tear

Perpetually undervalued superstar Damian Lillard has been tearing it up over his last 10 games. 

In fact, he’s navigating uncharted waters: scoring at a ridiculous pace previously unseen in PDX:

Last 10 games for Dame:

  • 50! @ SAC (2/9)
  • 39! v. UTA (2/11)
  • 44! v. GSW (2/14)
  • 24 @ UTA (2/23)
  • 40! @ PHX (2/24)
  • 26 v. SAC (2/27)
  • 35! v. MIN (3/1)
  • 20 v. OKC (3/3)
  • 39! @ LAL (3/5)
  • 37! v. NYK (3/6)

Lillard avg. 31.4 ppg in February, is at 32.8! ppg so far in March.

Most importantly, however, POR's won 8 outta 10, sits in 3rd place out West.

Scoring + tangible results is the storyline for Dame's late season, MVP push.

Yep, this may finally be the year Dame breaks out of the "underrated" discussion.
