“Definitely, coming into tonight after yesterday, I knew how important it was to win the game,” Lillard said. “It wasn’t really so much my performance yesterday, and I wanted to perform a certain way today. It was like we let one slip that we should have had yesterday, and I’m a big part of why it got away from us. So tonight it’s like, that’s not gonna happen. … I did tell myself, coming into the game, ‘I’m comin’ out off the rip. As soon as the ball gets tossed into the air I’m attacking.’ And that was that.”
