Clippers Defeat Blazers Amid Billups' Gambling Arrest

On October 27, 2025, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 114-107 in a game that was overshadowed by the arrest of Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups on gambling charges.

Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with 30 points and 10 rebounds, while James Harden added 20 points and 13 assists. The Clippers were able to take control of the game in the third quarter, outscoring the Blazers 32-22 to take an 87-82 lead.

The game was the second for the Blazers since Billups and Miami Heat player Terry Rozier were arrested on Thursday for their alleged involvement in illicit gambling activities. The NBA has placed both Billups and Rozier on leave, with assistant coach Tiago Splitter serving as Portland's interim head coach.

Despite the off-court drama, the Blazers put up a fight, with Deni Avdija leading the team with 23 points. Jrue Holiday, Shaedon Sharpe, and Jerami Grant also contributed double-digit scoring efforts for the Blazers.

The Clippers, who improved to 2-1 on the season, have now won 19 of their last 21 games against the Blazers dating back to the 2019-20 season.
