Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard drove straight down the lane and threw down a monster one-handed jam that brought the Rose Garden crowd to their feet during Thursday night's game against the Denver Nuggets. Two Nuggets defenders were in position under the basket, but they both seemed to get out of the way as Lillard approached the hoop, allowing him to score easily. Lillard finished with 12 points and 10 assists to help the Blazers to a 101-93 win over the Nuggets. Video via NBA. Visit us at holdoutsports.com and follow us on Twitter @HoldoutSports.
