NBA Playoffs: When is Clippers vs. Trail Blazers Game 5?

When will the Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers play in Game 5 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs?

After the Los Angeles Clippers coasted to two big victories in Game 1 and Game 2 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers have bounced back to take the next two games of the series on their home floor.

Even worse for the Clippers, point guard Chris Paul fractured his right hand and now his return to the playoffs seem doubtful. If to pile it on and make things worse, Blake Griffin had his quadriceps flare up and the Clippers suddenly look like a team that is on the verge of losing the series due to injuries.

The Clippers and Trail Blazers will now meet in a pivotal Game 5, where the winner will be just one game away from advancing to the second round of the playoffs against most likely the Golden State Warriors. Game 5 will be played on Wednesday night.

Will the Clippers be able to hold serve on their home court, or will injuries ultimately do them in?
