Damian Lillard continued his post-allstar break tear , scorching the Pacers for 33 points after beginning the game with a career-high 20 points in the first quarter.
“I’ve been just trying to be in attack mode and set the tone from the start of games,” Lillard said, adding later, “I think it’s important on this road trip and from here on out to just come out and set the tone on both ends of the floor. I’m able to attack, get some easy shots early, see the ball go in, and then just ride it out from there.”
