NBA players were blown away by Damian Lillard’s game-winner

Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard ended Oklahoma City’s season on Tuesday night with one of the most emphatic buzzer-beaters you’ll ever see, as he casually launched a bomb from 37 feet to win the first round series 4-1. Lillard scored 34 points in the first half to carry the Blazers, and finished the game with 50.

NBA players from across the league were watching the game, and many were in awe of Lillard’s performance in a close-out game. The Blazers, who rallied to extend their season after the loss of Jusuf Nurkic, will move on to play the winner of the Denver-San Antonio series. The Nuggets currently lead, 3-2.
