CLIPPERS EDGE BLAZERS

Jamal Crawford scored 25 points including the go ahead 3-pointer with 4 minutes to play as the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Portland Trailblazers 100-94. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 37 points in the losing effort. “It’s one of those rare regular-season, playoff-type of games,” Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “They’re a lot of fun to get into, but you don’t get a lot of those. We didn’t go into it that way, but it turned into that.”
