#2 Damian Lillard (60 points vs Brooklyn Nets)

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard has had quite a few monster performances over the course of his career, but even he couldn't have envisaged just what was going to go down when the Nets rolled into town,

Lillard entered the clash against the Nets, nursing several injuries, but that did not stop him from dropping a franchise-record 60 points.

The Trail Blazers had dropped three straight games heading into this contest and Lillard was determined to get them back to winning ways.

Lillard shot 57.6 percent from the field, making 19 of his 33 attempts. He also went 7 for 16 from three-point range to end with 60 points, but received little to no support from his teammates who combined to shoot 32.8 percent from the field.

The Trail Blazers eventually succumbed to a 119-115 defeat, marking their fourth loss on the trot, although Lillard did become the 27th player in NBA history to score 60 or more points in a game.
