The Portland Trail Blazers weren’t able to secure a win on Monday night, as they fell to the Milwaukee Bucks, 127-108.
It was the second straight loss for the Blazers, who are now holding a 26-28 record and are the 11th team in the West.
Despite that loss, Damian Lillard again gave fans something to be happy about.
Dame pulled this one from Narnia 😳

Toward the end of the second quarter, Lillard made his way down the court with the ball.
He was looking for a teammate to pass to but when he didn’t find one, he put up a wildly deep shot.
Despite being right next to the half-court logo, Lillard’s three still found the basket, leaving jaws on the floor and fans on their feet.
It was shocking to see Lillard secure such a three-pointer.
Yet, at the same time, it’s not that surprising because this is something he has done throughout his career.
Lillard’s three-point percentage has been all over the map lately (he was just 2-of-7 on Monday night) but when he sinks shots like this all of that is forgotten.
The seven-time All-Star has been sensational lately.
His season average is 30.8 points, 4 rebounds, and 7.2 assists but he has been going beyond 40 points regularly.
His best performance was on January 25 when he scored 60 points and since then he has scored at least 40 points three times.
Some people might complain about his shot selection at times.
Indeed, you could say that taking a shot like this one with more than 12 seconds left is careless.
But Lillard is nearly always in control of his team and he runs the show most of the time.
Fans want to see more plays like this from Lillard in the future, but they want to see more wins for their team too.
