Summer Clippers Ice Cold in Blowout to the Blazers

LA Clippers Portland Trail Blazers

Well it’s never fun to be on the wrong end of blowout, especially during an exhibition game. The LA Clippers (0-2) fell victim to a 27% shooting night from the field as the Portland Trail Blazers got hot from deep at the right time to put this one away in the third, 86-66. It was about the opposite of the Summer Clippers’ first game as they started off with the right energy and ball movement, and then faded as the game wore on. Four different Blazers (2-0), which included the veteran trio of Emmanuel Mudiay, Kobi Simmons and Antonio Blakeney, paced Portland with double-digit scoring while LA just couldn’t find a consistent rhythm throughout the contest.
