Summary

Damian Lillard gets his 3rd 60-point game of the season in another virtuoso performance to put Portland in command for the 8th seed. We run through the West playoff picture with one game remaining. Memphis falls to 1-6 as Ja Morant can’t carry them to victory against a Boston team firing on all cylinders. TJ Warren and Jimmy Butler match up and the Heat get the better of the Pacers going into their likely first-round matchup. And don’t forget!
