For the second time in his career, Damian Lillard knocked down a buzzer-beating series-clinching game-winner. 

The first time was in Game 6 of the first round of the 2014 playoffs against the Houston Rockets. This time, it was Game 5 vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the 2019 playoffs. 

Not only did he knock down the game-winner, but with it, he capped off a 50-point night (franchise record), which included a franchise-record 10 made three-pointers.

He joined an illustrious list with this spectacular game: 


And his peers around the league got Twitter abuzz, tweeting out their love and showing their appreciation for Lillard's heroic game:
