Live broadcast, December 15 -blazers beat Spurs today 128-112. After the game, pioneer coach Billups praised Lillard in an interview with the media.
“Lillard’s current rhythm and speed changes are so excellent that he can approach the opponent’s defense by blocking and dismantling. Obviously, he is an offensive threat in any position, but he will also break through the basket, creating opportunities for the team and conducting the ball more. He sets the tone for us every night.” Billups said.
In addition, Billups revealed that they were trying to let Lillard play more without the ball, which was seldom experienced by Lillard in his previous career.
Lillard played for 36 minutes in the game. He shot 14 in 23, 7 in 14 in 3, 2 in 2 in free throws, and handed over 37 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.
