Damian Lillard Responds to Dennis Schroder Mocking 'Dame Time' Celebration in G3

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder mimicked the "Dame Time" celebration of Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard late in OKC's 120-108 Game 3 win Friday night, and Lillard took notice.

The four-time All-Star selection responded during his postgame press conference:

Portland took the first two games of the first-round Western Conference series at home. It put the Thunder's back against the wall Friday night to avoid a likely insurmountable 3-0 hole, and they responded by knocking down 15 threes on 51.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc.

Schroder played a key role in the win with 17 points, six assists, five rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes off the bench.

It was his "Dame Time" interaction with Lillard inside the final two minutes that generated the most attention, though.

"I thought Dennis did a great job tonight," Thunder head coach Billy Donovan told reporters. "On defense, he was physical, aggressive and really worked hard."

The chippy nature of Game 3 sets the stage for what figures to become a physical rest of the series.

Game 4 is scheduled for Sunday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.
