Portland’s star guard Damian Lillard vowed a dislocated left index finger won’t stop him from playing against the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA playoffs on Saturday. Blazers coach Terry Stotts said after his team’s lopsided 111-88 loss to the Lakers on Thursday that it was too soon to say if Lillard would be ready to go in game three. But Lillard sounded certain. “Oh, I’m playing,” he said after the Lakers leveled the best-of-seven series at one game apiece.
