Lillard calls out Schroder for timing of late-game taunt
With the Oklahoma City Thunder cruising to a win Friday evening to cut the Portland Trail Blazers' series lead to 2-1, there was at least one notable instance of showboating from the eventual victors down the stretch.
With the final result becoming more assured by the second, Thunder guard Dennis Schroder mockingly tapped his wrist when Blazers star Damian Lillard missed a late free throw, an unmistakable reference to the four-time All-Star's "Dame Time" celebration.
