The Portland Trail Blazers (49 - 26) routed the Los Angeles Lakers (20 - 55) at the Staples Center on Friday by a score of 107 - 77. Portland clinched the Northwest Division shortly before tip - off after Oklahoma City fell to Memphis, but that did n't stop the Trail Blazers from putting the exclamation point on the night. The Trail Blazers started hot and finished hot, outscoring the Lakers 26 - 12 in the first quarter and 33 - 14 in the fourth. Second-year guard C.J McCollum poured in a team - high 27 points in 27 minutes off the bench. With Friday's win, the Trail Blazers completed the season sweep over the Lakers. Portland had n't won a division title outright since the 1998 - 99 season when it was a member of the Pacific Division. Damian Lillard posted 20 points on an efficient 8 - of - 15 shooting performance that included going 4 - of - 8 from beyond the arc. The Trail Blazers currently hold the fourth spot in the Western Conference, but have one less win than the Clippers and Spurs. The division title looms large in this case as the Warriors have already clinched the Clippers' division and the Spurs have an uphill climb to unseat the Grizzlies and Rockets in the Southwest. The Trail Blazers will play the second half of a back - to - back set Saturday when they host the Pelicans. Los Angeles' season - long woes continued Friday with another blowout loss in front of the home crowd. Friday's defeat tied a not - so - prestigious franchise record for most losses in a single season. The Lakers are almost assured to have one of the bottom - five records in the league this season, which should allow them to have a top - five pick in the upcoming draft. Jordan Clarkson was again one of the few bright spots for the Lakers as he led them in scoring with 27 points. Clarkson also pulled down seven rebounds and dished out five assists in 35 minutes of action. The Lakers will kick off their "home - and - home" set against the Clippers on Sunday.
