Damian Lillard has been in the face of pressure several times. However, that has hardly fazed him. The Portland Trail Blazers star has responded to the load by being arguably the most clutch player in the modern NBA. Many times, we have seen the seven-time All-Star hit impossible game-winners. However, in his recent contest against LeBron James, Lillard experienced a rare off night. Dame struggled to get his shots to fall, which was much due to the primary defender, Patrick Beverley. During his recent podcast, he revealed the conversation they had during a heated exchange during the game. In addition, he also apologized to several other NBA teams.

In a fight to keep the season alive, LeBron James and the Lakers rallied to beat Portland. Notably, the fight seemed to be a walkthrough for Lillard and Co. who were up 25 at the half. However, the Purple and Gold responded to the challenge with huge nights by the King and Thomas Bryant. After putting the clamps on Lillard, Beverley openly mocked his iconic ‘Dame Time’ celebration.

Addressing their battle on his podcast, the former All-Defensive member revealed the entire story of the game. Moreover, he also felt responsible for igniting a fire in Dame that torched several NBA franchises.
