White Flag Out Early as Griffin Demolishes Blazers

You have to hand it to the Blazers tonight. They gave theLos Angeles Clippers在第二天的背靠背的第二天晚上大部分半的跑步是从一开始就发挥动力的球。如果这听起来像微弱的赞美......不是真的。请记住，胜利率是1还是13，它仍然是记录书中的“W”。燃烧器赢得了这个家庭和家庭系列的分裂，其中一系列是联盟最好的团队。今晚没有预期胜利，也不感兴趣的是礼品包装的快船。

The first quarter was clearly Portland's best of the evening. They came out with carry-over confidence from last night, moving the ball, scoring at the cup, hitting shots when the Clippers collapsed into the middle.拉玛尔·阿尔德里奇returned to All-Star form, setting the tone by hitting quick and decisive shots. Portland's defensive rotations looked crisp. They forced turnovers to make up for 50% from the field for L.A. (Portland actually hovered around 60% themselves early.) Things looked good. The bench had a little trouble near the end of the period and the Clippers took a 33-27 lead out of the first, but the Blazers got it back within a couple shots. L.A. made a curious decision, pressing Portland's reserve unit. Apparently they didn't get the memo that the Blazer reserves can't score against garden variety defense. Were the Clips going for较少的比零点允许吗？无论如何，一旦波特兰打破了新闻界，它就会被击落，发现自己开放，便于镜头。燃烧器保持关闭，然后回来将游戏绑在一些惊人的罪行背后Damian Lillard。在46分，剩下3:49，得分在46分。

Then Griffin go BOOM.

The Clippers fed布莱克格里芬in the final minutes of the half asJ.J.Hickson和Aldridge无法阻止他建立深刻的位置。当他们试图前面并否认他的球他旋转，抓住，扣篮。当他们留在他身后他旋转和射击。3分钟内9分，确保燃烧器留在记分牌上。格里芬在最终角响起的时候抵抗，实际上包裹着Luke Babbittin a bear hug after the clock expired, holding Babbitt for a couple seconds, then shoving him away as if to say, "Get outta here." With the score reading 55-50 for L.A., the Blazers did exactly that. No answer was coming from Babbitt, nor his team. They just walked.

快船在下半场走遍了燃料。格里芬继续猛烈地推动艰难。波特兰争先恐后地让他包含在冒犯和经验丰富的球员上Caron Butler,格兰特山,马特巴恩斯， 和拉马尔奥多姆knew just what to do in that situation. They dove to the hoop or spotted up in open areas and butchered the Blazers. That quartet scored 27 between them and we haven't even factored inJamal Crawford。Portland's entire bench scored 16 points. Whenever the Blazers got down by 9 last night they pulled their "10 points for Gryffindor!" card and came right back. Tonight's response was pure Hufflepuff. Portland scored 12 total in the third period and the rout was on. The final quarter was Portland's in name only...the defense never making a serious enough stand to threaten the Clips. Licking their wounds and happy for the split, the Blazers headed to the airport and a Tuesday date with Dallas.

涂料赤字中的56-24点太多了，这对于今晚的燃料克服了太多。他们也可以拍51％。燃烧器自己拍摄了44％，缺口28次制造的桶助攻，但他们只抓住了9个进攻篮板，强迫了12个失误，犯下了19次失误。与波特兰采取66个现场目标尝试和L.A.82 82没有足够的积分来弥补射击差异。3-15来自弧形的弧线没有帮助，虽然29次自由投掷尝试为快船队肯定做了......唯一真正的优势，开拓者整夜。

Individual Notes

昨晚我们写道，林卡马斯·阿尔德里奇多年来得出了他最糟糕的比赛。他今晚为它弥补了21分，11点射击11个反弹表现。他看起来果断，移动，所有我们都能期待的事情。

Damian Lillard also shot decisively, though his 5-14 shooting clip might shade the definition towards "without conscience". He had a couple good attacks at the rim and a couple moresweetshots from distance. 2-7 from the arc makes you question if they were worth it but dang, they were pretty. However the Clippers' experience and pressure got to Lillard for the second night in a row. He had 5 assists but also made 5 turnovers.

Aldridge goes up,Nicolas Batum.下跌降落。Batum今晚只拍5次，得分8分。他完成了三级助攻和6个篮板。ooops ......四个单身。他也有4个失误。甚至不勒布朗·詹姆斯has posted a quadruple-single on a back-to-back following a triple-double outing. Yet another obscure record/comparison for Portland players. But really, I'm not sure Batum could have done much to stop the onslaught. The Blazers lost this game at the big positions and in the middle. That's not his department and all the offense in the world wouldn't have made up for it.

J.J.希克森有15分和9个篮板，即使他无法阻止他，也会在格里芬赌博。

Wesley Matthews7分，7分，但占据了巴伐利亚风暴的迷信，缺口8次助攻。

贝尔顿会今晚坐在板凳上得分。他似乎有剪刀的东西。Ronnie Pricehad a better outing. Though still statistically mundane he kept within himself and pushed the ball up.

在另一端Meyers Leonardplayed only 8 minutes. Luke Babbitt went 0-3 in his 12 minutes. I know that Babbitt isn't the Blazers' resident tough guy. Both of his biceps equal one of Griffin's. He's also young and was no doubt surprised by Griffin's odd bear-hug move at the end of the half. But Babbitt is Portland's 10th man. Griffin is L.A.'s only superstar. When Griffin was strutting and throwing him around after the horn, shouldn't Babbitt at least have attempted a shove in Griffin's direction? They would have been separated before anything serious happened and you could have potentially drawn an ejection. That's how to play mind games back. What wouldMetta World Peacedo, Luke? Somebody get our friend a WWMWPD bracelet.
