Damian Lillard sends 38 points against the Knicks … for nothing

Against the Knicks, Damian Lillard once more sent heavy… into the void. Again, Lady finds herself too alone at the end of the game. A scenario that seems to be seen every night the Blazers are on the field. The Knicks did the job, as a team, and it’s better to win a game.

Last night, Damian Lillard showed the world all his talent once more, once morest the Knicks. An almost perfect match for the leader of Portland. Why almost? Because once more, he misses the victory at the end for the fourth time in a row. However, Dame Dolla makes her match and helps her team as much as possible. Tonight, New York conceded 38 points at 11/26 shooting and 50% at 3-points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, from DL. From Lillard in the text. Except that in this text, it must be written that he must play each meeting in one once morest five. And once more, this night Nurkic turns double-double and Anfernee Simons slams 22 points. The problem in all this is that it’s a double-double at the level of the daisies (10 points, 10 rebounds) and that the scoring of Simons is done at a hideous percentage (35%). Not to mention that the Knicks collective really accelerated in the last quarter, once Dame was very tired.

Lillard finds himself in the same situation as a certain Luka Doncic was before the arrival of Kyrie Irving: alone surrounded by role players. When their form is there, it breaks everything, otherwise it’s the Blazers who are broken in half. As a reminder, the basketball player / rapper from Oregon had to stick 71 to the Rockets to win. Just as Doncic found himself forced to write history with a 60/20/10 once morest the Knicks. Spoiler, it’s never viable in the long term to perform.

Opposite, the Knicks were able to manage their effort to end their road trip west in the best possible way. Unlike Portland, the return is collective in New York. RJ Barrett, Julius Randle and Immanuel Quickley exceed the 20 point mark with the ten rebounds which goes well for the last two cities. Even without their starting point guard, Jalen Brunson, everything was smooth. They can say thank you to Deuce McBride and his 18 points at 4/5 from afar. Aberrant.

Everything is going as it should in the Big Apple where we are now preparing to receive Nuggets in poor shape at Madison Square Garden this Saturday at 6 p.m. French time.
