Blazers will face Warriors after eliminating Clippers in Game 6

Damian Lillard scored 28 points and the Blazers advanced to the Western Conference semifinals by beating the resilient Los Angeles Clippers 106-103 on Friday night to claim the first-round playoff series 4-2.

C.J. McCollum added 20 points for the Blazers, who became the first team to overcome a 2-0 deficit since Memphis came back against the Clippers in the first round in 2013.

It is the second time in three seasons that Portland has advanced out of the first round.
