Portland finally snapped their seven game skid by defeating the Clippers 102-91. Rip City also witnessed the return of “Lillard Time”, as Damian Lillard erupted for a team high 27 points. The box score also features three Blazer double doubles. Al-Farouq Aminu, Mason Plumlee, and Ed Davis all filled the stat sheet with impressive performances.
Despite the losing streak, Portland only sits two games outside of the eighth spot in the Western Conference. Hopefully tonight’s contest is a preview of things to come. The Blazers now head to LA to face the Lakers on Sunday.
