The Clippers ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 134-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers; the Clippers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
