Lillard: Game 5 Defeat ‘Gives us confidence’
The Trail Blazers’ hopes of winning a playoff series for the first time since 2000 were dashed Wednesday night, as Dwight Howard and Jeremy Lin steadied the Rockets to a 108-98 Game 5 victory before 18,230. But the Blazers insist their confidence remains resolute in the best-of-seven series.
“I think, if anything, it gives us confidence,” Damian Lillard said of the Blazers’ Game 5 defeat. “Because we didn’t play very well … and we were still down one with three or four minutes left, with a chance to win the game. So any time you can do that after not playing well, I think you’ve definitely got to have some confidence based off of that.”
