On a night in which Damian Lillard scored 41 points and had a sellout crowd roaring, the Phoenix Suns still had a chance to force a second overtime [{ "selector": ".psmsn-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

but they missed two opportunities to do so during their game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night at Moda Center, which they lost 113-111.

With 1.2 seconds remaining on the clock, Deandre Ayton shot and missed the first of two free throws. [{ "selector": ".wzudg-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

After that, he purposefully missed the shot on the second attempt, and Jock Landale collected the offensive rebound with the opportunity to tie the game [{ "selector": ".cwjep-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

but he missed the putback. The team's top score was recorded by Devin Booker with 33 points [{ "selector": ".ktjcg-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

and Ayton contributed 26 points but just five rebounds. With 41 points, Damian Lillard had the most of any player. [{ "selector": ".foigj-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]
