Damian Lillard tied his career with 61 points on Tuesday night and set a new record in the Portland Trail Blazers history.

Lillard became the first player in franchise history to score 50 points in back-to-back games. Portland has climbed to the eighth place in the West (34-39) and is very close to the postseason.
