Damian Lillard is trying to will the Portland Trail Blazers to a game three victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. While a 2-1 deficit is difficult, it’s nowhere near as insurmountable as 3-0. Lillard is gonna need some help though. Something friendly. Maybe a friendly bounce?

Yes! That’s exactly what Lillard needed to get the offense going. Every friendly bounce is amazing, and this one was particularly great thanks to jut how friendly it was. Lillard’s shot didn’t just hit rim once. No, it hit the rim to bounce off glass, and then hit the rim once more before finding home in the basket. Got a double friendly bounce here! However, it still just counts as one on the final tally. Thanks to Brandon Kleen for the heads up.
