Make that two quality wins in a row. Following their defeat of the Toronto Raptors, the Portland Trail Blazers welcomed the Los Angeles Clippers to the Moda Center and beat them also. The Blazers performance and effort was streaky throughout, but it’s hard to argue with the result. The final score: 131-127.
The Blazers improve to 17-13, while the Clippers drop to 17-13.
Like the previous three games, the Blazers got off to a hot start. In fact, they scored 37 points before the first quarter was over. Once again, it was up to the bench to maintain the lead.
