League Reacts to Damian Lillard's Legendary Performance: "This is a spiritual experience!"

An historic performance by Damian Lillard couldn't prevent the Portland Trail Blazers from dropping a double-OT thriller to the Denver Nuggets in Game 5 Tuesday night.

Never before in NBA playoff history has a player hit a dozen three-pointers, while his combination of 55 points with double-digit assists is another record-setting mark.

55 points. 10 assists.
👆 (that's an NBA playoff first)

12 made three-pointers.
