Notre Dame is still shooting 63%, but Lousville’s defense has tightened up, and now the Cards can’t miss. Louisville up 40-31, 4:18 1H and ND needs a timeout. – 4:36 PM

Damian Lillard on whether he would try to return if it was clear Blazers were out of playoff hunt: “I mean, if we’re going to play for a draft pick, it wouldn’t make sense for me to [play]. Because I’m not gonna play for no draft pick. I’m just not capable of that.” – 3:22 PM

Damian Lillard addressed media today for the first time since surgery.
-He feels good and doctors say all signs are positive
-Hasn’t ruled out returning this season but will depend on where team is at. Seemed open to sitting out year if it’s clear plan is to play for draft pick pic.twitter.com/BfbMVPps6t – 1:23 PM

The Blazers bounced back in Boston. Jusuf Nurkic led his teammates, following Damian Lillard’s path into the leadership.
What was the real meaning of the win over the Celtics? Chauncey Billups and Anfernee Simons have the answer.

Darius Garland told me yesterday that @Stephen Curry has reached out to him a lot this year & told him to just keep believing & working on his craft everyday…
(A lot of other players have encouraged him too, like Donovan Mitchell, LeBron, KD, Dame).
Pretty cool.

Terrible loss by the Celtics … at home to a Dame-less Portland team.
Poor execution by Boston on both ends of the floor in crunch time. – 10:06 PM
