Paul George had 29 points and the Los Angeles Clippers handed the Portland Trail Blazers their sixth straight loss with a 117-102 victory on Sunday night.
“We expect to win. We come in and we expect to win, that's really the key,” George said.
Jusuf Nurkic finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Blazers, who were in 13th in the West, well outside of playoff contention. Damian Lillard had 21 points and nine assists.
Portland never led in the game but pulled within six points on Nurkic's layup in the fourth quarter. Kawhi Leonard's jumper and George's 3-pointer then pushed the Clippers' lead back to 108-97, prompting many Portland fans started heading for the exits.
Los Angeles sits fifth in the Western Conference standings just a half-game behind of the Phoenix Suns. The Clippers have won five of their last six games.
