NBA roundup: Thunder spoil Damian Lillard's record night

Gilgeous-Alexander caught the inbounds pass with three seconds remaining, spun to his right and then elevated over Justise Winslow, launching a floater that dropped through the net as the buzzer sounded to give the Thunder their second consecutive win.

The result spoiled the night for Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard, who became the franchise's all-time leading scorer in the third quarter. Lillard came into the game needing 21 points to pass Clyde Drexler as the leading scorer in Portland history. He tied Drexler with a 3-pointer early in the third quarter before sinking a pair of free throws later in the frame to break the record.

Lillard finished with 28 points while Jerami Grant added 26 in the loss. No Thunder player other than Gilgeous-Alexander scored more than 13 points, but six other Oklahoma City players scored in double figures.
