No, I lost. Dropping from 105-95 to 21-24 during the season. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>There are many questions about what this franchise will do as the trade deadline approaches, but there was a small bright spot for them and Damien Lillard in this game as Lillard continued to climb the NBA&#8217;s all-time scoring list. <\/p>\n<p>Lillard finished the game with 25 points, passing three-time NBA All-Star Mark Aguirre for 70th on the all-time list and 105 points behind two-time NBA All-Star Zach Randolph for 69th on the all-time list. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p>Lillard is one of the best scorers of his generation, and it&#8217;s no surprise that he&#8217;s on either side of the league&#8217;s all-time scoring list, especially given his recent staggering performances. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p>Since the beginning of January, Lillard has scored at least 25 points in eight of his 10 Trail Blazers games, and coming into this game against the 76ers, the six-time All-Star guard posted consecutive 40-point games. was recorded. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p>He is currently averaging 32.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists on a 47.1% shooting percentage since the start of the new year. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<p>But winning is all that matters to Damian Lillard, so this small milestone probably means nothing to him right now. <\/p>\n<p>The Trail Blazers are about to get back on track when they face the Los Angeles Lakers in Portland on Sunday, January 22nd. This game could mean a lot in terms of the Western Conference standings, as the Lakers are one game behind.
