The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers, 114 - 106, at Moda Center on Thursday. The Clippers (10) were the last team to tip off for an opening game amongst the league and capped it off with an impressive road win. The matchup continued where Los Angeles left off at the end of last season's first - round playoffs, save for a fully healthy unit and one that was in a physical mentality throughout the game. DeAndre Jordan and Mason Plumlee got into a scrap after a hard foul landed both in the courtside seats beneath the rim in the third quarter, while C.J. McCollum returned a hard foul Jordan's way at the other end of the floor in the fourth quarter. The referring was also in question at times, much to the home crowd's disapproval, as Blake Griffin and JJ Reddick had flagrant fouls go there way in the second half. The back - and - forth affair was tight knit through the first three quarters of play, but the Clippers were able to pull away by 15 points with 2:54 left in the fourth quarter. A series of inspired plays from Harkless, McCollum and Lillard cut the lead to five after a driving layup from the star point guard with :22 left on the clock. Paul drew a foul from Shabazz Napier on the ensuing possession to ice the game at the free throw line. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin led the Clippers, as both players were everywhere on both ends of the court, striking from the mid range, putting back dunks, running down the Blazers backcourt in transition and keeping Reddick and Jordan active at the perimeter and under the rim. Paul and Griffin combined for 54 points, 18 rebounds and five assists in the win. Lillard poured in 29 points on 11 - of - 24 shooting, to go along with 10 rebounds and three assists. Harkless, Plumlee and McCollum joined Lillard in double figures, but the 22 percent three - point shooting was far from where coach Terry Stotts would have liked the Blazers to be on their home court. The Blazers will visit the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, while the Clippers play their first home game hosting the Utah Jazz on Sunday.
