Damian Lillard had a 1st-round and Game 5 that will be remembered for years to come.

Last night in Portland, the Blazers star had two options ahead of him: Drain a game winner and send the OKC Thunder home or miss and send the game into OT.

I think we all saw what he chose to do.

Following the game winner, OKC Thunder star Paul George was clearly salty about the winner being hit over him so he tried to minimize the moment by stating how bad of a shot it was, he just happened to hit it.

Thunder's Paul George on defending deep game-winner by Blazers' Damian Lillard: "That's a bad shot. I don't care what anybody says. That's a bad shot. But, hey, he made it. That story won't be told, that it's a bad shot. You live with that." pic.twitter.com/21ueYAHHzY
