There wasn&#8217;t a winning shot this time around, but Lillard did score seven points in the final minute.<\/p>\n<p>Portland became the first team this season to come back from at least 17 points down in the final six minutes of a game. According to ESPN Stats &amp; Information research, NBA teams were 0-236 in such situations this season.<\/p>\n<p>According to Elias Sports Bureau research, Lillard&#8217;s 20 field goal attempts were the third fewest in a 50-point game in the shot-clock era behind Adrian Dantley&#8217;s 17 attempts in 1980 and Willie Burton&#8217;s 19 in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>Also from Elias, it was Lillard&#8217;s third 50-point, 10-assist game, tying him with Tiny Archibald and Russell Westbrook for the second most such games in NBA history, trailing only James Harden (eight).<\/p>\n<p>It was Lillard&#8217;s 12th 50-point game of his career, passing Allen Iverson for fourth most since the merger (1976-77). Lillard is now tied with the Lakers&#8217; LeBron James.<\/p>\n<p>Portland went 31-of-31 from the free throw line. That&#8217;s the most free throw attempts in franchise history without a miss, and the Blazers became the first team to shoot at least 31-of-31 from the line since the Phoenix Suns went 32-of-32 against the Seattle SuperSonics on Feb. 8, 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portland became the first team this season to come back from at least 17 points down in the final six minutes of a game<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":205579,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[187],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-205580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","typology-video"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/03\/Lillard-50-points.jpeg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205580"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=205580"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=205580"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=205580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
