Clippers 56, Portland 55 | Half | Good one here at Staples. PG is putting on a show, 14 points 6-13 shooting, three rebounds, and four assists of the Clips’ 11 assists. Transition D? Blazers have no points in transition — to LA’s nine. – 10:58 PM

For the second straight game, Clippers end the first half with a go-ahead field goal.
Reggie Jackson’s turnaround wasn’t as dramatic as Mann from halfcourt Sunday, but might prove to be just as pivotal.
LA leads 56-55 at halftime in an evenly matched national TV game. – 10:56 PM

One thing about Nico Batum … if he’s inbounding, anything is possible. Off turnovers, he’s looking to push as soon as a ref lets him. And not sure anyone saw a lob to George coming; George smartly brings it down and controls it for a layup.
LA up 49-47 with 2:31 left in half. – 10:49 PM

Eight points by L.A. in 60 seconds flipped the end of the first quarter from a one-point deficit to a 33-26 Clippers lead against Portland. The run was capped by Paul George’s pull-up three. PG is going to play the entire first quarter, something that hasn’t happened in a while. – 10:25 PM

Chauncey Billups’ timeout resulted in a turnover on the next play, but then Trail Blazers went on a game-tying 10-0 run.
Now it’s Tyronn Lue’s turn to get back control with 7:04 left in first quarter, tied at 13. – 10:13 PM

The Clippers have done a great job eating up big deficits, a major factor during last week’s 4-game win streak.
But the starting lineup has struggled in non-Portland games this season. I asked Lue about that pregame: pic.twitter.com/a33xKiomAP – 9:30 PM
