1) Blake’s efforts weren’t enough

Blake Griffin did a little bit of everything on the offensive end, scoring 23 points, grabbing 8 boards, and dishing 4 assists. He went 9 for 19 from the field and 5 for 6 at the charity stripe. Griffin seemed to be the only player that came ready to play, which resulted in him carrying the team on his back for the entire game. There were many points throughout the game when he reminded us of that he is completely capable of running the offense, including this beautiful behind the back pass to Raymond Felton:
