After only a big week of competition, a trend is already emerging this season, and gives pride of place to big gaps. Damian Lillard believes he knows the reason for these repeated demolitions.
It didn’t take long for observers to observe the pattern taking shape. For the first meeting of the 2020-21 season, the Nets offered the Warriors a monumental rouste. The evenings that followed saw this type of scenario repeat itself, sometimes excessively. The historic beating suffered by the Clippers against Dallas is undoubtedly the best example.
The Blazers were also entitled to their correction, and this, from their restart. Defeated by 20 points by the Jazz, Damian Lillard and his teammates were nevertheless able to correct the situation afterwards, and string together two more narrow victories. The star leader nevertheless thinks he knows one of the reasons that justifies all these routs, and delivered it to the microphone of Yahoo! Sports.
“We gotta create our own energy.”
