Yahoo Sports 'God mode': Dame Time returns as Twitter reacts to Damian Lillard's wild night
It was Dame Time for most of Tuesday night as Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard put on a show in a 147-140 double-overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 5. Lillard set a new playoff career-high with 55 points on 17-for-24 shooting from the field and 12-for-17 from three — a new NBA record for most 3-pointers in a playoff game. Despite the loss, Dame was the story of the night and Twitter was losing it during his two game-tying shots to force the first and second overtimes.

Nikola Jokic wasn’t surprised by Damian Lillard’s incredible night. Respect. pic.twitter.com/Tte6iJaeT7— Dime (@DimeUPROXX) June 2, 2021
How many times do I have to say it? Lillard > Steph with the chips on the line.

I personally would like to thank Michael Malone for not fouling Damian Lillard once. We got entertainment. A lot of entertainment.
