Norman Powell scores 23 points and James Harden finishes with 19 points to lead the Clippers to a dominant, 118-89 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

The road from now until the All-Star break in four weeks is treacherous. The Blazers conclude their home stand with Houston (27-13) on Saturday night, followed by a Sunday game against the Chicago Bulls (18-23).

Powell was the only Clipper who reached the 20-point mark in this win, and he continues to have an impressive season even when sharing the court alongside other ball-dominant players such as James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Powell has scored at least 20 points in five of his last six outings and is averaging 24.2 points per game in that span.
