1) Blake Griffin is back in a major way.
Blake Griffin had possibly his best performance of the season in this game as he led the Clippers. He played every second of the first quarter and didn’t miss a beat, going 5/5 for 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. He remained locked in for the rest of the game finishing with stat line of 29 points on 10 of 14 shooting, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
