Trail Blazers clinch playoff berth with win over Phoenix Suns

The Trail Blazers clinched a berth to the Western Conference playoffs Monday night with a dominant 109-86 drubbing of the Phoenix Suns before a sellout crowd of 19,441.

"This is not the peak for us," LaMarcus Aldridge said. "We came into this season not just looking to make the playoffs ... but trying to make a step a forward. We're honored and happy to be in this position, but we're not satisfied."
