Blazers Vs. Clippers Final Score: Portland Holds Off Eric Gordon, Blake Griffin In Win

Eric Gordon put on a show on Thursday night in Portland, but his game-high 35 points weren’t enough to overcome the hot shooting Trail Blazers. After the Clippers cut the deficit to three with just under five minutes to go, the Blazers took over, finishing the game on a 16-4 run to close-out a 108-93 win.

Blake Griffin played Robin to Gordon’s Batman, finishing with 20 points and 18 rebounds as he registered yet another double-double. The two combined to score 14 of the Clippers 16 points to start the fourth quarter as the Clippers chopped-down a 13-point deficit.

LaMarcus Aldridge, Wesley Matthews and Rudy Fernandez put an end to the run, combining to score the final 16 points of the game for the Blazers. Matthews and Aldridge each finished with 28 points to lead Portland in the win. Aldridge and Andre Miller led the Blazers on the boards, grabbing eight rebounds apiece. Fernandez added 17 points off the bench.

Baron Davis was the only other player in double-figures for the Clippers, adding 16 points. Davis also led the team with six assists. It was all Griffin and Gordon, though, as they combined to score 55 of the Clippers’ 93 points.

The Clippers fell to 16-26 on the season. The Blazers, plagued by injuries and working with a patchwork lineup, improved to 24-20 and sit just four games back of Oklahoma City in the Northwestern division.
