The Los Angeles Clippers (4 - 2) defeated the Portland Trail Blazers (3 - 3) 106 - 102 on Saturday. The Clippers were paced by J.J. Redick's 30 points, but they also had big contributions from Blake Griffin, Jamal Crawford, and Chris Paul. Griffin scored 23 points, and Paul had a double - double of 22 points and 11 assists. Crawford was moved into the starting lineup in place of Matt Barnes to try and give the Clippers more talent in their starting lineup. Crawford finished with 20 points in 31 minutes in his first start of the season. Glen Davis made his season debut after having sat out the first five games of the season with a groin injury. He played nine minutes off the bench. After struggling through his first three games of the season, Damian Lillard has caught fire over the last week. He did his best to ignite a comeback for the Blazers on Saturday, but his flourish of scores down the stretch were clouded by a few poor decisions by Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge that kept the win out of reach. Aldridge finished with a double - double of 21 points and 10 rebounds, while all five Blazers starters finished with double - digits scoring. The Trail Blazers will finish off a back - to - back set at home Sunday against the Nuggets. The Clippers will host the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.
