NBA Twitter sounds off for Damian Lillard's historic night

The Houston Rockets didn't have an answer for Damian Lillard in the Portland Trail Blazers' 131-114 win.

Lillard set franchise and career highs with 71 points and 13 3-pointers.

As evidenced by LeBron James' tweet, it was simply Dame Time on Sunday night.

⌚️

Lillard is the eighth player with at least 70 points in a game in NBA history, joining Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell, who also scored 71, as the second this season.

Mitchell and his mom appropriately reacted to Lillard's big night.

My mom calls me and says <a href=«https://twitter.com/Dame_Lillard?ref_src=» https:>@Dame_Lillard
