The Trail Blazers walked away with a 110-104 win over the Pistons, but that didn't stop Damian Lillard from airing his frustrations with the referees.
"I feel like this was the worst officiating crew we’ve had all season,"The seven-timefinished with a triple-double – 31 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists while shooting 10 of 28 from the field – but he had six free throw attempts in 38-minutes on the floor. In fact, Lillard didn't get to the line until the fourth quarter despite the physicality of the Pistons. He's averaging 9.4 free throws per game this season."You know teams are going to try their hardest to stop you.
Lillard said Pistons defenders were"reaching in, not in legal guarding position" and that he finished the game with a "knot on my head, knee bleeding, elbow bleeding." "I'm telling that we're playing to try to be in the postseason and we're putting our best effort out there and you're looking at me like I'm crazy when somebody is smacking me in the face or hitting me in the arm," Lillard said."And when we respond wrong, you want to tee somebody up. It was bad, man."
