LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Corey Maggette scored 20 points and Earl Boykins scored nine of his 11 points in the fourth quarter as the Los Angeles Clippers rallied to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 90-83 in an exhibition game Tuesday night.

The Clippers erased a 10-point deficit in the final 10 minutes for their third win in four games and first preseason victory over Portland in 13 attempts.

Darius Miles, the Clippers No.1 draft pick, added 15 points and rookie Zendon Hamilton had 13 rebounds and eight points.

Rasheed Wallace led Portland with 19 points.

Bonzi Wells hit a 3-pointer from the left corner to beat the third-quarter buzzer and give Portland (2-2) a 68-64 lead. His layup capped an 11-2 spurt with 9:13 left in the game and gave the Blazers their biggest lead, 76-66.

The Clippers, playing without injured regulars Lamar Odom, Michael Olowokandi and Eric Piatkowski, went on a 20-4 run and took an 86-80 lead with 1:48 to play. Boykins fueled the rally with seven points.

Portland's Shawn Kemp sat out because of a bruised right knee. Scottie Pippen was scoreless in 21 minutes and did not play in the fourth quarter.
