The Clippers edged the Trail Blazers 115-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
