CLIPPERS 126, TRAIL BLAZERS 122
Chris Paul had a season-high 41 points and 17 assists and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied in the second half for a victory over the Trail Blazers, denying Portland a chance at clinching the Northwest Division title.
The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Blazers, who needed a win to secure their first division title since the 2008-09 season when they shared it with Denver.
J.J. Redick added 25 points, including five 3-pointers, and eight rebounds for the Clippers, who trailed by as many as 19 points in the first half and then held off a furious Portland rally at the end.
LaMarcus Aldridge led the Blazers with 29 points.
