The Cavaliers have been playing much better in recent weeks, but the Trail Blazers have been scorching all season. And Damian Lillard is an animal.
Trail Blazers vs. Cavaliers final score: Dame drops bomb on Cavs for the win
Lillard hit a deep three-pointer with less than a second remaining in a tie game to push the scorching Blazers past the Cavaliers.

The Portland point guard dropped a bomb from 26 feet with .4 seconds left on the clock, and a 40-footer from Kyrie Irving was off the mark at the buzzer as the Trail Blazers went into Cleveland and pulled out the 119-116 win to secure their spot atop the Western Conference at 22-4 for the season.

Lillard scored 36 points, dished out 10 assists and grabbed eight boards in the win. And he absolutely showed out against the former No. 1 overall pick, Irving. And LaMarcus Aldridge wasn’t too bad himself.
In a league that's already put LeBron James' name on the next MVP trophy (I kid), LMA is making a statement. The big man went for 26 points, 15 boards and four assists as the Blazers shot nearly 45 percent as a team and hit 15 threes on the night against a Cavs team that was 7-3 at home prior to this game.
Irving had 25 points and 10 assists for Cleveland, and Dion Waiters really came out of his shell tonight with 25 of his own.
