Clippers Defeat Blazers 136-125 in Comeback

The Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday flirted with defeat, but beat the Portland Trail Blazers and almost secured their spot in the playoffs.

The Angelinos managed to lose the first half against a rival who was completely out of time at the end of the season. In the third quarter, however, he took the reins of the game and defined the victory by 136-125.

With the result, the Californian team improved fifth place in the West. So, you only need to beat the Phoenix Suns this Sunday to take the direct spot in the playoffs as fifth in the conference.

But the game afternoon had a few more things. The Minnesota Timberwolves confirmed the expectations, beat the San Antonio Spurs and, thus, are guaranteed in the play-in of the West.
