ASSOCIATED PRESSHe kept it classy all series, but in the end, Damian Lillard indulged in one little piece of trash-talk – or rather, a trash wave. “When it left my hands, it felt good.”The shot was the second 3-pointer with time running out that Lillard has made to clinch a playoff series. The other came in 2014 in the same building, to beat the Houston Rockets and clinch 4-2 first-round series win. The winning shot gave Lillard 50 points, a franchise playoff record, and 10 more than his previous personal playoff high. The current core group led by Lillard and McCollum had won a playoff series previously, against the Los Angeles Clippers in 2015.
