NBA Note - Portland Trail Blazers Lillard, Damian

Dec 12, 2017 - 8:00 AM G Damian Lillard, an Oakland native, explored for 39 points in his biannual homecoming Monday, but Golden State still beat Portland. Lillard's 39 points were the most he has scored in nine career regular-season homecomings, eight of which the Trail Blazers have lost. "We had our chance down the stretch," he said. "We just built too much of a hole to come out of."
