The Clippers archive the Blazers practice and ‘see’ the 5th place in the West

Important step forward by the Los Angeles Clippers, victorious over the Portland Trail Blazers and close to avoiding the return to the Play-In.

136-125 the final result that guarantees Lue’s men at least 7th place, but it will be enough to defeat the Phoenix Suns – who will leave most of the starters at rest – tonight to reach 5th.

Leonard top scorer with 27 points plus 8 rebounds, Westbrook puts 20 with 6 rebounds and 6 assists, while off the bench Powell is again the protagonist with 23 points.

For Portland, the performances of Knox (30+11, 10/15 FG), Sharpe (26+4 assists) and Watford (24 with 10/15 from the field) are worth noting.
