Nicolas Batum recorded 20 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists to lead the Trail Blazers over the Clippers, 101-100, on Saturday.
The Clippers led 100-91 with 2:38 left in the game before Portland went on a 10-0 run sparked by a Damian Lillard three-pointer and culminating with two made free throws by J.J. Hickson to give the Trail Blazers a 101-100 lead with 45.2 seconds remaining in the game.
Jamal Crawford had two chances to win the game in the final 15 seconds but missed a layup and a three-pointer to close out the game.
Crawford and Matt Barnes scored 19 and 11 points, respectively, off the bench for the Clippers while combining to shoot 11-of-25 from the field. Blake Griffin nearly recorded his first triple-double of the season, as he had 24 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists to go along with four steals in the game.
