Portland Trail Blazers · Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers had something special planned for the first stop on the NBA Top Shot Tour. Against the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves, Lillard uses his quickness and a behind-the-back dribble to blow past the defense for an uncontested layup and later avoids a turnover by saving a loose ball into the hands of Josh Hart, who finishes the possession with an alley-oop to Shaedon Sharpe. For an encore, Drew Eubanks turns defense into offense as his blocked shot ends up with Hart, who this time threads the needle with a pass through traffic to an in-transition Jerami Grant for a strong two-handed slam. The Blazers were in perfect synergy all night, treating the NBA Top Shot collectors on hand to a 124-118 victory on December 10, 2022. · State of Mint
