Lillard, an Oakland native, was eliminated in the first round after scoring 16 points.

Golden State’s Buddy Hield matched the record for most points in a round with 31, advancing alongside Herro and Cleveland’s Darius Garland.

Herro edged Hield 24-23 in the final, with Hield missing a key shot on his final rack.
