Chris Paul joked that the Trail Blazers' near-comeback against the Clippers made for good television. "You always gotta make it interesting," he said with a smile. But only to a point. The Clippers built a 25-point lead in the first half, then held off a second-half rally by the Blazers for a 103-90 victory Thursday night. Jamal Crawford scored 25 points off the bench, while Paul and DeAndre Jordan had 21 apiece.
