“Trail Blazers at Clippers | Full Game Highlights | March 31, 2026”

Go Henderson, D-League Ignite. Drew Holliday, UCLA. Danny Avdian, Herzliya, Israel. Tomani Kamara, University of Dayton. Donovan Klingin, University of Connecticut. Yes they were, because the Clippers have put together a phenomenal season to this point and looking to add to it with a big win tonight. Josh Tevin, Nate Green, Suyash Mehtar, three officials here tonight. We are underway. Clippers back. But then Tomani Kamara's length on Darius Garland could impact his ability to make passes on time and on target. Such a luxury for Portland to have two elite on-ball defenders. As Scoot Henderson stays hot. John Collins looking to back down on Avdian. He has been a critical piece of the turnaround for the Clippers. Really coming on strong from the middle portion of the season on. Blood-glow pairs, living up to the Splash Mouth nickname. Thiago Splinter has just been thrilled with his leadership on and off the court. Henderson showing off the explosiveness, couldn't finish. And then Klingin tracks down a long offensive rebound. Kamara open for three and he knocks it down. That's Portland trailblazing. Portland number one in the NBA second chance points per game at over 18 and 9. Avdian right to the rack and a chance for three. Aki is getting a wall built for himself as well with his intent to get to the rim. Lopez thought about another one, this time he'll put it on the deck. Right in to Klingin and a finish over the top. There's good patience by the Blazers though. I mean Klingin could have taken a long two. Still got into the paint, good spray out to Kamara. Leonard, mid-range master. Well the great scorers have that ability. They know how to get to their spots on the floor. What a finish! John Collins scurrying for the slam. Clifford's bringing some energy and providing it for the swell on the wall. Here it is to a dome. Henderson, spray it out and Colliday drills the three. This play is not in the lineup. Robert Williams III has also been effective on teams. This is a good active young group playing well early here. Playing without beat Krejci as well tonight. And Collins connects on a triple. Garland with the steal. Now Garland thought about it. Patience pays off for Darrius Garland. Just good when Darrius Garland is a young and dynamic player. But that was wise and smart by Garland to just be patient. Allow to fly by and knock down the three in transition. Looking like an old vet, but still Henderson confident, composed, experienced for a guy that hasn't played as much as he would like to his first couple seasons. Miller into the paint, had it stripped initially. Step through for Miller. And he gets two. You know what, you got to give me, I'm always biased when it comes to lefties. So just hold me accountable. I'm going to promise you that I 100% agree with you. It always looks smoother coming from a lefty. Kamara tough. That three-point shooting looks fluid and more confident than maybe we've seen from him before. As Lopez long strides and he banks it home. Obvia snares the ball. He's always looking to put his head down. Good ball movement. It's Kamara and it's a three. After he had a chance for the Utah Jazz, Clippers said, you know what, we'll give him a chance on our real club on a non-guaranteed contract. And he has become an important piece as Williams guides that one home in building their defensive identity over the last two years. A crucial piece like his commitment to playing on that end of the floor and really deciding that every night that's the part of the game that. Fancy dribbling from Garland. And then he lost it. Taken right back by another elite defender in Holliday. Numbers the other way. Holliday will line it up. And it puts it down. Garland with three points and one assist in the first ten minutes of this game. Miller. Three ball. Jordan Miller. Holliday will set the offense in motion here. And go right to work. Spray it out. Murray's three. Wingside rebound. Batted the thigh ball. Another chance for a three. Holliday picked up by Garland. Five to shoot. Holliday. Step back. Three. It's pure. Drew Holliday sticks another one. Five-second difference. Shot clock and game clock. Garland. Holliday attack. And finish. Holliday's been hot. Can't stay that way. Patterson crouching hard. And he does save it for Holliday. Extra save. Here's Obdia. Long stride. Banging off bodies for two. For the Blazers. Against Baton, Dunn, Matherin, Collins, and Leonard. For the Clippers. Sissoko on the attack. And a tough one. Doesn't go. But the follow does for Williams. Offensive rebounding again. And this Clippers group is a smaller group. John Collins essentially at the five. Platoon at the four. So the offensive rebounding, in particular with Williams, is going to be tough. Kawhi Leonard so crafty. With a chance, getting the Clippers flowing down the court. Well, the Blazers already have ten second chance points. Matherin. Floats it short. Rebound. Leaps to Collins. Leonard. Fades for two. On Matherin's drive. Two guys there. The Clippers are going to have to keep forcing. Two on the ball. And then getting that ball moving and flying around. Obdia. Tough one. Goes. From deep. Now a drive. Kick. Patterson three. In and out. Rebound fought for. Obdia tips it back in. Timeout to Ron Lowe. We know that they can flip a switch at any moment. Obdia. Kamara. Will take another three. He'll hit another three. Tamani Kamara has been. Garland. Lopez. Collins. Leonard. And Matherin on the floor for the Clips. Garland. Looking to shake Murray. Garland on the attack. And finish. They average 14.3. Made threes per game. Murray attacks the closeout. Into a crowd. It didn't matter. He banked it home. Obdia into the paint. Lopez steps up. Step through. And Obdia couldn't finish it. Tipped in. Kamara. No hesitation. A little too strong. Rebound still for grabs. And Murray. Bear hugs it with another second chance. It's Murray himself to the left. And he's got a chance for three. For LA. Garland on the drive. Dump it off. Lopez does the rest. Should be a heavy dose of Darius Garland here. How many times at 6'1 do you feel like you want to jump ball against a seven-footer? That's what Kamara just did, although he's 6'7". And then, wow, the late shot clock goes. Portland's getting everything they want offensively. Spray it out. Done on the attack. From an inside out. Garland thought about it. Now he will take the three. And he'll make the three. See the adjustment by the Clippers now. Brooke Lopez all the way up at the level. On those pick-and-rolls to limit the dribble penetration. And it didn't matter because Drew Hall. Great defense by Chris Dunn. Good activity. Oh, behind the back. A little too fancy. Another turnover. Murray. Kamara running the floor for another deuce. Lopez more aggressive in pick-and-roll defense up at the level. I think offensively the Clippers can use some pick-and-roll to get. Oh, that's going to help. At least a positive feel from Brooke Lopez as he tips it in with .1. He forced it up. Couldn't bank it in. Tip doesn't go. And a rebound to Holliday. Obvia one-on-one with Garland. And Obvia backs it home. Both Obvia and Holliday. You got the two points. Keep the game moving. Garland curls. Felt the contact. Doesn't get the whistle. Oh, John Collins with force on the follow. Now Garland will slow it down for the offense. Garland. Oh, he turned on the turbo for two. Go post-up and get the ball back. Obvia spilled and scored. The hope and home for the first time all-star. Obvia's up to 29-5 for the Blazers. Now it's Leonard shielding the ball. Leonard all the way to the rim. And the easy goose. Leonard pokes it to himself. And then threw it away. Blazers force another turnover. Holliday laying in slam. He throws it down. You see how they respond to the adversity they start to face. Obvia had it blocked by Lopez, but the recovery by Henderson. Meanwhile, John Collins holding his knee is going to be helped up by Lopez. And he is struggling on his way back to the offensive end. Garland drive. Lopez drive. He sticks the three. Leonard, Matherin, Jones, Lopez, and Garland. The five for the Clippers. Leonard. Oh, but a big man again. Wanted done for the Clippers after the 10th Portland turnover of the night. Drive and kick. It's Henderson for three. And Obvia just again left to right. It's been a highly quiet day for Matherin. Still scoreless. Now it's Garland. Up and under. Now you see me. Now you don't. Time out. Tiago split it. You know, whether it's coaches or players here in the league, just able to impact communities and impact people in really special ways. Defense, as you see, still tenacious as ever at 35 years old. Leonard attacks, kicks, Matherin drive, and he finally gets on the board with excellent defense. He's so good, man. He just anticipates dribbles. No defending that one. Kawhi Leonard with 19. Holliday three. It goes. Drew Holliday with another triple. 17 points. Now a turnover. Henderson running with Holliday. Henderson. No. Holliday. Yes. The bleed. Spray it out. No need to take one before the final shot. But Dunn recognizes that he's got to move. And he finishes with the right hand. Five seconds left in the third. Henderson. Two seconds left. Over Miller. And he's got it at the end of the third quarter. Extend. Took a while for the Clippers to get into that, but good clear time for John Collins to get to his right hand. Just couldn't get the finish. Holliday. Two more. It's the largest lead of the night for Portland. Clippers need to deliver an early punch here. Miller hits a three. Double comes on Holliday. He doesn't care. Drew Holliday is in the zone. Big stop there by the Clippers. A slow step by Miller. Collins running the floor. Mathering. Finds Miller. Back to him. Mathering attack. And Mathering with the finish. Good course there by the Clippers. So they're going to have to play faster in order to just get more shots on goal to try to get back in this game. Kick out. Five-0. In and out. Rebound to Murray on a stick back. Timeout to Rob Lowe. The Blazers just in second chance points in a game that currently is a 15-point difference overall. Double on Leonard. He finds Miller with five on the shot clock. Right in the cling in. And the adjustment in midair to bank it home. Miller looking to push. Miller. Kick out. Collins. In transition for three. On the court after getting banged up a little bit. Clippers with this smaller group. You'll see it defensively. They can stop that guy from getting to the rim with this group. Not that time. He's got 28. Got a lot of buckets for those guys. Lopez back on the floor for L.A. His push shot is true. 18 for Brooke Lopez. Cross. Double. Off the end to get rid of it. And he has it. Knocked away. Taken in by Murray. One to shoot. They get it off in time. Kamara puts it down. And a potential to go one win and in in the playoffs. As opposed to having to win two games to get all the way in. As Leonard gets the roll from the midrange. 12 to shoot. Catch and go. Off the end of the paint. Holliday three. It's good. Darius Garland 17 points. Leonard up to 23 to go with eight rebounds. Garland. Bounce it. Miller. Tough finish. Overplayed. Five to shoot. It's Althea. On the attack. Oh, the nice feed to Klingin. Down 15. They have battled and credit to Portland. They have had every answer. Garland sticks a triple. Kamara is down. Just a game and a half back of the Clippers. Can feel it now. 90 seconds to play. Holliday drives. Relocates. For three. The Blazers showcase that their youth has turned into quick experience. 114 to 104. Portland takes this one and into a dome.
