Trail Blazers fend off rally, top Clippers 131-127

Los Angeles fought back from an 18-point deficit Monday against Portland until the team trailed by just one point in the final minute.

The Clippers’ 131-127 loss to the Trail Blazers at Staples Center was their fourth consecutive loss and their seventh defeat in their last nine games.

Rocky play by the Clippers’ starters spoiled a career-high 39 points from forward Tobias Harris and a career-high 24 from rookie guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, along with a bounce-back night from the team’s bench.

Patrick Beverley had 10 points and 11 assists off the bench and Montrezl Harrell added 15 points before he was ejected in the fourth quarter.
