It was a record-breaking night for Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard, as he netted 71 points in a stunning 131-114 win over the Houston Rockets.
Lillard became the first NBA player of all-time to net over 70 points in under 40 minutes, and just the eight player ever to do so. He's also the only player over the age of 30 to join the elite group, and did so with 13 three-pointers on the night.
The 32-year-old said his performance was down to his "attack mode" on the night, with Lillard keen to be as aggressive as possible between now and the end of the season. Lillard has high ambitions, but is aware that they need a winning second half of the season to have any chance of making the play-offs.
