PORTLAND, Ore. -- With a game-opening 3-pointer, Damian Lillard set the tone and the Trail Blazers followed.
Lillard finished with 32 points and Portland rediscovered its offense at home, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 96-88 on Saturday night to pull within 2-1 in the Western Conference first-round series.
"I knew this game if we had come out and lost we'd have been in some real trouble," Lillard said. "So I wanted to come out and leave it all out there, be aggressive at the offensive end and help on the defensive end."
