Damian Lillard has words for fan following loss to Timberwolves (vids)
Damian Lillard was in no mood to deal with a fan after the Portland Trail Blazers lost 108-107 to the Minnesota Timberwolves Monday night at Target Center.
Lillard, already perturbed by a lack of foul calls during the loss, took exception to what a fan had to say as he left the arena.

As noted, Lillard also expressed unhappiness over a perceived lack of foul calls for the Blazers during the loss.
“I got hit in the face one time, and it’s like in shooting motion,” Lillard said of a game in which the Blazers were awarded only five free throw attempts, via an AP report. “It’s a clear, easy play, and it’s impacting the game, man.”
