Damian Lillard top-scored for the Trail Blazers with 25 points, while C.J. McCollum had 22.
The Miami Heat took their series opener against the Toronto Raptors courtesy of a 102-96 overtime win.
Kyle Lowry hit a buzzer-beater from half-court to send the game to OT, but the Heat were too strong at the Air Canada Centre.
Goran Dragic (26 points) and Dwyane Wade (24) combined to lead the Heat, with the latter scoring seven of his in overtime.
Game two of their Eastern Conference semi-final is in Toronto on Thursday.
