The Houston Rockets appeared destined for a Game 7 after scoring with 0.9 seconds remaining in Game 6 — but that was enough time for Damian Lillard.
The Blazers guard hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to give the Portland Trail Blazers a 99-98 win over the Houston Rockets on Friday and win the series 4-2.
