“Stone Cold” Damian Lillard arrived in Portland to raise a little hell against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.

Lillard finished the night with 29 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, but the Trail Blazers lost to the Wizards, 125-124, in overtime.
Steve Austin took notice of Lillard’s pre-game outfit and gave him a “hell yeah” for his efforts.
After the game, Lillard, possibly joking, revealed that he wore the outfit home following the loss.
Lillard had two chances to win the game for the Blazers. In regulation, his game-winning lay-up was blocked by Bradley Beal, which sent the contest into overtime. After John Wall missed two free throws for the Wizards in overtime, Lillard had another chance to win it for Portland. Lillard once again tried to get to the rim, but was blocked by Otto Porter to end the game.
This marks the second time an NBA star has done a Steve Austin tribute this season. During media day, Dwyane Wade wore a “Wade 3:16” shirt.
Lillard recently revealed that the Stone Cold Stunner is his top finishing move of all-time.
