"Everybody is always worried about offense, but it's defense that wins ball games," said Richardson. "We wanted to come out and win this game. I was feeling good in the first quarter."
Sebastian Telfair led Portland with 20 points and Darius Miles added 15 and eight rebounds.
Zach Randolph had a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds for the Trail Blazers, which has lost two of their last three.
