Portland's All-Star guard added six assists, four rebounds, three steals and two blocks as well as draining four of his eight three-point attempts.
Lillard's fourth triple provided his highlight play of the night.
With 10.5 seconds remaining in the third period, Lillard took an inbounds pass in his own half and brought the ball upcourt, forcing Thunder defender Raymond Felton to backpedal into his own half.
As Lillard approached the three-point line, he executed a smooth crossover dribble and stepped back to create space before lofting a three-pointer over the outstretched arms of the flummoxed Felton. The shot swished through the Thunder net as the buzzer sounded, giving the Blazers a 91-75 advantage the would extend in the fourth quarter.
