It is worth noting that Lillard pulled his calf when he landed after a 3-pointer in the final five minutes of the third quarter and left the game early. Since then, the Portland Trail Blazers have been falling behind in points, and have ended in a fiasco.

After the game, the Blazers regretfully announced that Lillard would not return for this game. Before leaving, Lillard was on a roll, scoring 113 points in the previous three games and winning the first-week Western Conference Player of the Year, averaging 33.3 points in the first four games.
