Damian Lillard made history as he topped his own franchise scoring high with 61 points as Portland Trail Blazers won 129-124 in overtime against the Golden State Warriors while also establishing a team-best with 11 3-pointers. The Warriors sure did what they had to stop the Trail Blazers guard, but that just proved to be not good enough against the player. Everyone watched on in awe and so did Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry. All he could do was shake his head in dismay or perhaps, in envy of Portland Trail Blazers’ Damian Lillard as he went off. Stephen Curry currently remains sidelined with a broken hand and has never scored 60+ points. He has a career-high of 54.
