The Trail Blazers also played the previous game against Brooklyn - at home, and lost 114:132. The team played an unimpressive game, making only 45.3% of their shots from the field, losing in assists 20:36 and rebounds 38:44. But Portland guard Scoot Henderson, who scored 39 points, can take this game as an asset.
Thus, the Trail Blazers have three consecutive losses. Before that, the team from Oregon lost on the road to Dallas (111:117), and at home failed to cope with Miami (98:119). In the Western Conference standings, Portland is in 13th place with a 13-26 win-loss record. It looks like the Blazers don't intend to enter the tournament race after all.
Los Angeles Clippers
Yesterday, the Clippers played officially the best game in their history. The team beat Brooklyn at home by 59 points, thus setting a franchise record of 126:67. Kawai Leonard, who seems to have regained his form after another injury, was LAC's top scorer in this landmark game with 23 points. James Harden scored 21 points and 11 assists. It should also be noted that for the Nets, the defeat was the biggest in history.
Among other things, the Clippers, having allowed only 67 points, strengthened their status as one of the best defenses of the season. In the standings of the Western Conference, the California team with a balance of 22-17 is located on the fifth line.
H2H Meetings
In this championship, the rivals have met twice. First, in October, at the very beginning of the championship, Portland unexpectedly beat the LA Clippers away - 106:105. Then in December, the Clippers, again at home, were stronger - 127:105.
Expert Betting Tips
The Los Angeles Clippers will hold a match in Oregon in the format of back-to-back with a flight, but hardly in yesterday's meeting with Brooklyn, given the record score difference, spent a lot of effort. LAC have won 12 of their previous 13 matches against the Trail Blazers, and we'll be betting on the visitors here.
