Portland defeated Los Angeles 116–97 on April 10 at Moda Center, with Domantas Avdija leading the Trail Blazers with 35 points while Donovan Clingan added 18 in a dominant home performance. The Blazers shot 44.6 percent from the field and made 12 three-pointers, controlling the game through balanced offensive execution—23 assists on 116 points—and suffocating defense that held the Clippers to just 97 points. Los Angeles struggled particularly in the fourth quarter, scoring only 13 points after a competitive third period, and committed 16 turnovers compared to Portland's 13, a differential that compounded their offensive inefficiency. Kawhi Leonard paced the Clippers with 24 points and Benson Lopez contributed 21, but their 43.4 percent shooting and 13 three-pointers proved insufficient against Portland's 119.1 offensive rating and 102.9 defensive rating. The game fell well short of the Vegas total of 226.5, with Portland's fourth-quarter defensive clamp-down essentially putting the contest away. Portland's convincing victory strengthens their playoff positioning heading into the final stretch.
