PORTLAND — Damian Lillard scored 51 points against Utah on Saturday, which was amazing. But it also wasn’t amazing, because he scored 50 six days earlier, and 61 a week before that, and had a 36-point triple-double two nights previous, and hadn’t been held below 34 in eight games, and … well, by now you’ve seen all the numbers.



Lillard Time has been every second since Jan. 17, and it’s been amazing to behold. Talking in the Utah locker room afterward, even his opponents on Saturday could only shake their heads in wonder at Lillard’s recent level of play.



In a historic six-game span he’s averaged 48.8 ppg while enjoying one of the most torrid shooting stretches in league annals — he’s launched over 14 3-pointers a game and made 57 percent of them, resulting in a league record for made 3s over a six-game stretch.
