Bounces back with 25 points Lillard posted 25 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 122-114 win over the Heat. Impact Lillard needed a bounce-back performance, and that's exactly what he delivered Monday after finishing Sunday's loss to the Hawks with just six points (2-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt). The star floor general admitted he's still trying to make things work alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, so there should be growing pains in the process. However, the two players are simply too talented to not make it happen. Lillard has scored at least 25 points in two of his first three outings this season.
