Damian Lillard, like many other NBA stars, had quite the night against the Houston Rockets.
He scored 41 points in the first half against the team, and it looked like it was going to be a special night.
Lillard, after scoring 41 points in the first half, notched a career-high 71 points in the Portland Trail Blazers’ 131-114 win over the Houston Rockets. He shot 22-of-38 from the field and made a franchise-best 13 3-pointers while playing 39 minutes.
As soon as his night was done, he found out he had to have a blood-drawn drug test.
He was not happy about it because he had already done a urine test the day before, and then he had to do a blood drawn test for the first time after a game. Not only that, he revealed that he is frightened of needles.
In the end, Lillard still broke a franchise record for made threes in a game. He finished with six rebounds and six assists and shot a perfect 14-of-14 from the free-throw line.
