Damian Lillard's Amazing 3 Lifts Blazers Over Rockets
Portland wins the series
Damian Lillard becomes the first player to make a buzzer-beating shot to win a playoff series since Utah's John Stockton against Houston in 1997.
Lillard's 3-pointer as time expired gave Portland a 99-98 victory over Houston Friday night at the Moda Center.
Lillard's game-winner closed out the Rockets in six games and sends the Trail Blazers into the Western Conference semifinals. Portland will face the winner of the San Antonio-Dallas series, which stands tied at 3-3.
