Arguably the best performance of Damian Lillard's career was capped off by one of the greatest game winners this sport has ever seen. Just when it looked like the game was slipping away from Portland's hands, Lillard kept them close throughout the game dropping bombs from near half-court.

Logo Lillard as he's known around the league scored 50 points, connecting on an incredible 10 shots from three-point land. He single-handedly led his team to a come-from-behind victory over the Thunder and sent them packing, who at one point, during the start of the fourth quarter, were leading by as many as 16 points.

With 13.4 seconds left on the clock and both teams tied at 115 apiece, Lillard brought the ball down the court at the top of the key as Paul George was guarding him. With roughly two seconds left on the clock, Lillard launched the three from 35 feet which went in as the time expired, reminiscent of his series-clinching game-winner against the Rockets a few years back, thereby giving the Portland Trail Blazers the victory and eliminating the Thunder from the playoffs.
