After trouncing San Antonio by 18 at home on Wednesday, the Clips immediately had to make the trip up the coast to Portland, but they controlled this one from the opening tip.

Los Angeles led by 21 at halftime, and although the Blazers made it close with a 32-17 third quarter, Jamal Crawford, Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan made sure their team would improve to 4-2.

With the loss, the Blazers fell to 2-3.

Player of the Game: Jamal Crawford

A case can certainly be made for Jordan (21 points, 8-of-10 shooting, eight rebounds) or Paul (21 points, six assists, three steals), but it's too difficult not to give it to Crawford.

The dynamic veteran continued his campaign for best sixth man in the league with an impressive 25-point effort. Not only that, but he dropped 11 in the fourth quarter when the Blazers were threatening. 

Up Next for Los Angeles

The Clippers get a couple of days off before hosting the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. Three days later, they get a big matchup with the Miami Heat.
