Damian Lillard struggled from the 3-point line but managed to score 20 points and 10 assists whilst Norman Powell led the team with 22 points.

“City of Brotherly Love, they showed a brother some love,” Lillard said, via ESPN. “I know what it is and what it’s about. I appreciate the love, I appreciate the respect they showed, the desire or whatever.”
Sixers fans better not get too excited, though. Lillard is as loyal as they come and he’s already proven his unwavering loyalty to the Blazers time and again. Dame has indeed been linked to Sixers as part of a potential blockbuster trade involving want-away star Ben Simmons, but in reality, we all know this is not going to happen. Lillard himself reiterated in the post-game interview that he’s a through and through Trail Blazer.
