Norman Powell scored 30 points and James Harden added 23 and seven assists as the Los Angeles Clippers extended their home winning streak to nine games with a 127-105 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night in Inglewood, Calif.

Amir Coffey scored 19 points, Derrick Jones Jr. added 15 and Ivica Zubac had 10 rebounds as the Clippers avenged one of their four straight home losses just after opening their new $2 billion arena.

Powell has averaged 29.0 points in two games since returning from a hamstring injury and has scored at least 30 points in a game five times this season.

Deandre Ayton scored 16 points while Shaedon Sharpe and Deni Avdija added 15 each for the Trail Blazers, who lost for the fourth time overall in their last five games and fell for the seventh time in their last eight road games. Dalano Banton scored 14 points and Jerami Grant added 12 for Portland.

In both teams’ final NBA Cup group game, the Blazers were eliminated from the knockout rounds with the loss, while the Clippers escaped via tiebreaker scenarios.

It looked like Los Angeles would make a run for it early, jumping out to a double-digit lead before midway through the first quarter and even posting a lead of 12 in the opening period. But Portland rallied just over two minutes into the second quarter and took the lead.

The Clippers led 63-58 at halftime, but the game remained close in the third quarter until the hosts went on an 11-0 run to take an 83-70 lead. Los Angeles entered the final period with a 91-78 lead after Harden scored 12 points in the third quarter.

The Clippers’ Jordan Miller scored five points in an 8-0 win to start the final period as Los Angeles extended its lead to 99-78 with 10:03 left and cruised to victory from there. Miller finished with 14 points.

The Clippers were without Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) and lost Terance Mann (finger) in the third quarter. The Trail Blazers were without Scoot Henderson (quad), Donovan Clingan (knee) and Robert Williams III (concussion protocol).
