Damian Lillard had 41 points in back to back games over the weekend and the Portland Trail Blazers improved to 3-0 with wins over the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings. Dame was sensational quieting any lingering concerns about what level of player he would be this season.Both games came down to the wire and ended with game winning buckets by players that weren't Damian Lillard.
