After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers outlasted the Trail Blazers 99-92. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Clippers; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
