They say it’s easy, and it looks that way even in the midst of this year’s scoring frenzy, but it’s about. 8th best individual scoring mark Over 75 years of competition in history.
A prodigal son of the city who refused to let go despite years of hardships his team had put him through, he was the eighth player to break the 70-point barrier in the league, Another legend among legends.
At 32, Lillard has a lot of crumbs on his record.Oregon franchise base Oldest player to score 70 or more points, the only one to have achieved it in over 30 years. In team benchmarks, the milestone was the consolidation of individual brands to remember.With a triple at 4:42 from the end 131-114 win With the Houston Rockets, the point guard surpassed his own franchise scoring record. 61 points, achieved twice.With that shot, he surpassed his own record for triples in a game (11) and one of 13 Klay Thompson 2018 (14). His 13 goals from the perimeter equal his second highest record of Stephen Curry (2016) and Zach LaVine (2019), but no one his age achieved a similar record. No one is here.
“MVP, MVP!” You could hear it at the Moda Center in Portland during the final minutes of Oregon’s historic night. Lillard retired with his 44 seconds remaining, Mitchell, Elgin Baylor (1960), David Robinson (1994) 8th in all-time personal record. A round of applause met the occasion. 100 points record Wilted Chamberlain It has remained steadfast since 1962, at which time the closest kobe bryant in 2006 with his 81 points. Only his two totems in the final of the tournament have added more than five games with 60+ points. This year, the point guard added 12 40+ point games, surpassing Doncic and Antet’s 11, eight of them since the new year.
“Oh my god, that’s crazy. I’ve never seen anything like that before. I don’t want to be on the other side because there’s little you can do. ”, evaluated Chancy Billups Impressed. “This year we haven’t reached this level of performance and we’ve tried everything defensively and there have been games where there was no way. I don’t want to be on that side, but this is fun and a work of art. ”Added Technician. His student left the following stat sheet for memory. 71 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists in 39 minutes (22-38 TC; 13-22 3P; 14-14 TL). He had 41 at halftime, also a personal record, and 50 at the beginning of the final quarter.
“My mom called me and said, ‘Dame matched your record… Now I have to get a 72.'”Another season record holder for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Mitchell joked on Twitter. Lillard gave a rather naive analysis of his impressive record. He said, “We have 22 or 23 games left. We need to win as many as we can. Being short-handed, knowing it’s a team effort, I want to do my best and be aggressive,” he said. commented during the broadcast of nba tv. “I will do my best to winand that’s all that happened tonight. I went into attack mode, found myself comfortable, and stayed aggressive. ” Added.
The game was dominated by exhibition point guards, and he had 16 points to give his team a slight 31–30 lead after the first period. At half-time, an explosion of players added 25 more points, extending the lead significantly to his 73-58. The Rockets didn’t give up and threatened the feat by coming close in the final period.Local points his guard had gunpowder left so his second highest scorer of the winner was Jerami Grant at 13 points.
Despite the record’s individuality, Lillard, already sober, asserted at a press conference that the problem was much more collective than the numbers conveyed. “You have to trust your teammates when they play defense like that.” He explained the constant 2 to 1. The good disposition of the rest of the players on the court, who scored what the point guard had to relinquish, gave him free rein on his display. “When you show your team that you’re letting her go…”he argued.
Doping control as Mitchell
Like Donovan Mitchell earlier this year, Damian Lillard was drug tested shortly after scoring 71 points. It’s the first time I’ve done it after a game and I was a little frustrated because I don’t really like needles. It was another day for an All-Star triple he provided the fans with the title of Champion of the Contest and he celebrated with his 13 impact goals in the game. As told by NBA.com reporter Casey Holdahl, Dame didn’t have a great day leading up to game time. He made a few mistakes in his preparation routine, messed up his schedule, left his All-Star weekend his trophy at his home…and despite everything, he finished his 71 points tally. Earned.
As Billpus already confirmed from his hometown bench, the Rockets’ defensive suspicions were logical and they were able to tighten up their point guard in the final stretch. “I was patient and never thought about getting 70 points.. Played to stay on top Don’t score too many points. When we accepted the two-on-one and went back to personal defense, we were able to attack again,” he said.
On the Houston side, alperen armywas the best player with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.man from madrid Usman Galbahad only 8 minutes played, with 3 points and a rebound.

“Victories over Euroleague teams, the Super Cup in Belgrade, the birth of Jean-Charles’ twins.” Vatutin named the brightest moments of 2025
President of basketball CSKA Andrei Vatutin, in a conversation with Match TV, named the brightest moments of the outgoing year, and also told how to meet 2026.
At the end of the 2024/25 season, CSKA became the champion of the VTB United League. In the current regular season, the army team is in the lead, having won 16 victories in 18 games.
— How satisfied are you with 2025?
— First of all, I would like to say that the team we have now is very dear to me. I am often asked: which season’s team do you like the most? For some reason, everyone thinks that the answer will be related to our victories in the Euroleague. Not at all. Every year we have a unique team. I’m happy to work with the guys we have today. I really value the victories in the United League that we achieved with this Team. That’s right, with a capital letter. The guys communicate well with each other. We have a great environment in the dressing room. I am very glad that our veterans – Kurbanov, Antonov, Ukhov – continue their careers. They mean a lot to me and to CSKA.
It is clear that if you won the championship in the past year, there is no reason to be dissatisfied with the sports result. But again, I’m happy to work with the coaching staff, our players, our club office and I would like everyone to be healthy and for us to continue to win together. I think everyone will have a lot of wishes in their New Year’s toasts. But surely each of the CSKA employees, players and coaches will wish us good luck and that there will be no injuries. If everything goes well, then there will be victories.
In addition to winning the championship, our team had many more bright moments. Birth of twins to Livio Jean-Charles. We played the pre-season in Dubai for the first time. The United League Super Cup was played for the first time in Belgrade. Plus we beat two Euroleague teams, which doesn’t mean anything, but in principle it indicates that we can now play with Euroleague teams. And I’ll probably also note Kurbanov’s pass to Livio in Krasnodar, when they scored 0.6 seconds before the end. A very bright moment. This suggests that basketball has become faster over the past decades: what took three seconds in Munich was now decided in 0.6.
Of course, my family gives me many very bright positive moments.
— How will you celebrate the New Year? What will be on the festive table?
— In Moscow, with my family. As always, it will be delicious. I generally love to eat (laughs). So to say that today I eat tasteless, but on New Year’s Day it’s delicious, would be wrong. Before the chimes, as always, we will listen to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin’s New Year’s address. Then we’ll have a glass of champagne, and then maybe move on to red wine.
— The Year of the Fire Horse is ahead. Does this mean that CSKA must definitely become the champion?
— (Laughs) I’ll say this: we don’t owe anyone anything. Whether it’s the year of the blue Horse or the Ox, our goals remain the same: we will try to please our fans. The Year of the Red Horse does not impose additional responsibilities and obligations. Of course, it’s nice that it’s the Year of the Horse, but it will be all the more interesting and enjoyable to ride this horse. Our competitors will probably oppose this. It is clear that the New Year’s toasts of the leaders of UNICS, Zenit, and Lokomotiv will also be for victory. Now is the middle of the season, and the most interesting is ahead,” Vatutin told Match TV.
