Last night during the Portland Trailblazers and Houston Rockets game 6, Damian Lillard hit an amazing three-point buzzerbeater that gave the Blazers the win and ended the Rockets season. Following the shot, cameras caught Dwight Howard and Lillard very close appearing to stare each other down and have a conflict but what did Howard actually say to Lillard?
via Blazers reporter Ben Golliver:
“Go win the chip” Dwight Howard on post-game message to Damian Lillard. “Having a good regular season is nothing when you’re sitting at home. … It hurts. I have to watch someone hold up a trophy,” said Dwight.
Howard famously decided to not re-sign with the Los Angeles Lakers and instead go with the Houston Rockets in order to have a better chance at winning a championship. Of course it looks bad since he was once again booted from the first round but before everyone brings their jokes out Dwight did play hard this series averaging 26 ppg, 13.7 rpg and 2.8 bpg in 38.5 minutes.
