Lillard for the win.
Goal!
On this night, we thought it was going to be a battle of the rookies,
but he comes up with the biggest shot of the night.
And they're saying, don't go away, we've got to review it.
But I think, let's take a look at the instant replay and see.
It was for sure, we can look at it as a formality, but this thing beat the horn.
And Damian Lillard has a game-winning shot to his credit.
Watch this.
Expect Lillard to be the go-to guy here.
Cole Williams is out there as well.
Here comes Gee again, mano a mano.

Lillard!
Of course it's being reviewed because it goes in at triple zero.
But it's out, it's over, and the Portland Trail Blazers in shocking fashion,
when they didn't hit one outside shot in the fourth quarter,
get the kid with the big guts to win the series.
Damian Lillard sends Portland to the second round.
And very classy here, if you look at these replays,
they announce that it stands,
and the Blazers have won the series in both teams,
with congratulations being shared after a series that was so close.
