Lillard went just 7-for-20 in their first matchup, with Maxey as the primary guard on him. This time around it was a different story, but that's to be expected because Lillard is one of the best and stopping him is a tall task.
Maxey is no Ben Simmons on the defensive end, but he's a much improved defender compared to his rookie season.
Yes Lillard went 7-20 in the first matchup.
While he was going through the worst shooting slump of his career.
He only had 2 games before that where he shot over 37% from the field.
Lillard's night that night had nothing to do with Maxey and everything to do with Lillard's slump.
Regardless. It wasn't the Maxey show against Portland.
The show was put on by the player you covet.
Period. End of story.
