A nasty flu bug kept Portland's All-Star from being his normal, productive self as the Blazers fall short down the stretch against the Clippers.
The Portland Trail Blazers, which had been winners of three of its previous four games, returned yet again to the Staples Center Monday to face the Los Angeles Clippers. Just a week prior, it was against the Clippers that Portland snapped its seven-game losing streak at home, with Damian Lillard leading the way to a 102-93 upset.
It was announced just before tip that Lillard was suffering from a nasty stomach virus, but he would give it a go anyway.
