The silver lining of yet another loss is that Blake Griffin has looked amazing. Despite a lack of team success, Blake has played extremely well and the knee doesn’t seem to be bothering him. Tonight, he was able to get  his first triple-double since 2014, posting 26 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. If he can maintain this level of play even after Chris Paul returns, the team should be a formidable match-up for anyone.

The Clippers travel to New York to face the Knicks on Wednesday.
