After the huge and surprising win over No. 1 in the West, Los Angeles Lakers, in the first game of the first round of the NBA playoffs, Portland Trailblazers fans missed tonight (Thursday through Friday) more than once, and not because of the 111-88 loss to the Lakers in the second game, which 1: 1 in the series. During the third quarter, after 30 minutes on the floor, Damian Lillard, who until that point had scored 18 points on 6 of 14 from the field, injured his finger and went down to get treatment in the locker rooms.

But the wonderful guard is not going to give up so quickly. "Rest assured I will play game number three," Lillard said at the conclusion. "It hurts and is unpleasant, but it will pass. I feel fine."

"The medical staff put their finger back in place after she left," Hagard said. "I was sure I broke my finger, it hurt a lot and was looking to lose part of the game to check the injury in the locker room. I was very frustrated and disappointed, the injury came at a very bad timing."

Lillard also spoke of the loss: "I do not think the story is over, even far from it. True, we were not balanced and made quite a few mistakes, but it happens in basketball. Sometimes, players have great games and they do not show up properly for the game after. I'm sure everyone will come At the height of the alert for the next game. "

"During my career I played with quite a few good players, like Dwayne Wade and Kyrie Irving," LeBron said. "Anthony Davis doesn't fall for them. He does things that other great players I played with can't do. I'm glad I have the privilege of playing with a player as good and great as Anthony."
