The Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers, two of the top teams in the NBA Western Conference, meet tonight on TNT Thursday Night Basketball following the game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets. Portland will look to maintain the best record in the West when we watch Clippers vs Trail Blazers online free live streaming on TNT.
Portland (23-5) will put their incredible record on the line tonight against one of three meetings against a divisional leader in their next four games. They are currently tied with the Pacers and Thunder for the best record in the league and can take back sole possession of the distinction with what would be a huge win at home against a surging Clippers squad tonight.
The Blazers come into tonight’s game and first since Christmas having won two of their last three including a three-point win against New Orleans almost a week ago. They lost to the Timberwolves on the road 120-109 in a game that should help bring their squad back down to earth a little after blowing through the first quarter of the 2013 NBA schedule with little to no resistance.
LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard have led this year’s Trail Blazers squad to its best start in 13 years. The 1990-91 team began the season 26-3. Last year Portland had 33 wins for the entire season so they are only 10 wins away from matching that total. Portland has been one of the biggest surprises this year and seems destined for the playoffs. Watch Trail Blazers vs Clippers online streaming live free on TNT tonight to see if they can win their 24th.
Lillard’s offensive punch might be offset by that of his opponent, Clippers point guard Chris Paul. With Paul running the show, the Clippers (20-10) are scoring 105 points per game, ranking them fifth in the entire league. It won’t be an easy assignment for Paul and the Clippers to win at Portland. They had won five in a row until losing a close game on Christmas Day.
Facing the Golden State Warriors on Christmas, Clippers forward Blake Griffin was ejected early in the fourth quarter after receiving his second technical foul. At the time of his exit, Griffin had already notched 20 points and 14 rebounds. The Clippers lost the game by only two points and may have won the game had Griffin not been ejected considering his average of 24.3 points and 12.5 rebounds per game.
Tonight’s Thursday Night NBA basketball game between the Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers will tip-off at a start time of 10:30pm PST / 7:30pm EST. The game will be televised on TNT so if you’re a subscriber to the cable channel then find what channel TNT is where you live in your town’s local listings to watch Clippers vs Trail Blazers in HD on your TV.
Another option for those of you without access to a TV tonight is to watch Clippers vs Trail Blazers online streaming free live at TNT’s official TNT Overtime website located right here. Subscribers either directly with TNT via their website or through a cable/satellite service can watch streaming Clippers vs Trail Blazers from a computer, phone, tablet, iPad or other device. I predict the Trail Blazers win this game with a series of stops late in the fourth quarter.
