    A visit from the lowly Los Angeles Clippers turned out to be just what the Portland Trail Blazers needed.

    Wesley Matthews had 26 points and the Blazers snapped a six-game losing streak with a 100-91 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night.

    Brandon Roy added 14 points, Nicolas Batum had 13 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, and Marcus Camby finished with 12 points and a season-high 19 rebounds for the Trail Blazers.

    The six-game losing streak was Portland's longest since it dropped the final eight games of the 2005-06 season. Even so, the Blazers almost blew it, letting the Clippers cut a 22-point lead to three.

    The Clippers trailed 59-37 at halftime but Rasual Butler hit two 3-pointers to cut it to 92-89 with 1:29 left. With under a minute left, the Clippers had a fast break with the chance to cut into the lead or tie, but Andre Miller ripped the ball away from Ryan Gomes.
