On Sunday, Damian Lillard had an incredible first half against the Houston Rockets, scoring 41 points in just 19 minutes at the Moda Center.
The crowd erupted as Lillard hit eight three-pointers, helping Portland to a 73–58 halftime lead. Lillard tied with Kyrie Irving for the third-most points in a half in NBA history, with only Devin Booker’s 51 in 2017 and Donovan Mitchell’s 42 earlier this season surpassing their total.
Despite playing against the Rockets, who are struggling this season, Lillard’s performance was impressive and has the potential to be historic depending on how he finishes the game. He has already put himself in elite company with his accomplishment in those 19 minutes.
Lillard has been one of the few bright spots for the Blazers this season, as they currently sit 12th in the West, but are only one game out of the play-in spots.
Lillard has been consistently fantastic throughout the season, averaging 31.4 points per game, which is the third-highest in the league.
He has also shot 37.2 percent from beyond the arc and 46.7 percent from the field. Fans are excited to see Lillard’s outstanding performances, which continue to pack the Moda Center every night.
