Damian Lillard ended an amazing series with this amazing buzzer-beater


Damian Lillard's swagger is so deep that you might drown in it if you aren't careful.

The Portland Trail Blazers' All-Star point guard hit that three-pointer at very end of regulation with his team down two points at home against the Houston Rockets. That's called a game-winner and a series-clincher.

Moments earlier, Chandler Parsons had given the Rockets a 98-96 lead with his own awesome put-back. That left 0.9 seconds, and the Blazers had the ball on a midcourt inbound.

And they had Damian Lillard.

Final score: Blazers 99, Rockets 98. What say you, Portland?

And you, Houston?

The six-game series featured three overtimes. But its most memorable game ended in regulation. James Harden and Dwight Howard are out of the playoffs, thanks to a second-year guard from Weber State.

Rip City rolls on. Now walk off in style, Dame.
