LOS ANGELES – An NBA series can change drastically in seconds, the fickleness on full display the last time the Clippers played in Portland, losing both Chris Paul and Blake Griffin in a flash.
That’s also why the Clippers believe, as quickly as the series slipped into Portland’s grasp, it can flip right back to the Clippers.
“We still believe we can win this series,” said Austin Rivers. “We did it last year versus the Spurs. We were down 3-2 in San Antonio when everybody thought we were out, and we found a way to win.
