Damian Lillard is a man on a mission right now. Lillard put up 41 points and 11 assists to lead Portland over Washington in overtime, 116-109. Lillard has scored 30 or more points in 10 of his last 13 games, and two 50+ games.

Check out Lillard’s highlights:

It seems like the Lopez twins have a problem with mascots. Knicks center Robin Lopez has had a history of toying with opposing mascots, and last night his brother Brook got in on the beef. The Nets center assaulted the Raptors mascot with this WWE-like body slam:

And for a bonus must-see moment, San Antonio’s Jonathon Simmons dunked all over Minnesota:

Look cool every morning. Find out what you missed in the sports world while you were sleeping, and impress your friends and co-workers. We won’t tell them you were actually watching the season finale of Teen Wolf.
