Blazers 80, Clippers 79

[David]

The Clippers are now 26-28 on the season after the loss to Portland. Unlike Dallas, the Blazers seemed to play a little defense against the Clippers. I don't think it's safe to run against those young legs.

Piatkowski, after drilling the Mavs for a career high, was held scoreless against Portland. How many guys have gone for career or season highs against the Mavs this year?

The Clippers are now tied with the Suns for 9th place and are 2 games back of 8th. They have lost 5 out of their last 7.
