The Clippers-Blazers series is in L.A.'s favor at 2-0, but the Blazers are refusing to crack the armor tonight at home in Game 3.
In the first half, the NBA's second-best backcourt in Damian Lillard and this season's Most Improved Player CJ McCollum are controlling the tempo for their brigade and are on fire. But the Clippers are still showing how it's done in Lob City.
This alley-oop play from this decade's "Stockton-to-Malone" combo Chris Paul to DeAndre Jordan is probably going to end up on the Best Plays of the Playoffs highlight reel once the Finals are done in June. But for now that it's still very early in the playoffs, this play ranks high up there like this pass CP3 threw to DJ. He spread his albatross wings to rip this one through in Rip City.
