Goalkeepers Damian Lillard and Austin Rivers were responsible for inspiring the goal in Sunday’s NBA game that also left the injury to Cameroonian center Joel Embiid and the elimination of the New Orleans Pelicans playoffs.
Lillard scored 51 points, putting his team back on the winning track after beating the Philadelphia Sixers 124-121. On Saturday, against the Los Angeles Clippers, Lillard lost a pair of free throws to 18.6 seconds remaining and a triple to 9.5 seconds remaining in a game loss that the Portland team ended up losing by 122-117. Carmelo Anthony added 20 points.
