Dame is arguably the best closing point guard in the league. He is the go-to guy for the Trailblazers to make clutch plays at the end when the clock is dying and the ball-game hangs in the balance. Closing games has been his forte ever since 'Dame time' caught the spotlight.

We saw a glimpse of his potential greatness in February which was filled with Big Game Dame performances, as he averaged a franchise-record 31.4 points for the month.

One of the typical Lillard-styled nights came on March 6 against the Lakers when Portland was down 6 with 4 minutes remaining in the game.

And guess what, the guy caught fire. Lillard cashed in on four straight 3s as nineteen of his total 39 points came in the final frame. Portland won 108-103, continuing the franchise’s longest win streak (seven games).

Dame takes over the game when most players are about to wrap up. No team can ever sleep on this man until the scoreboard shows 48 minutes of playing time completed.
