1. Blake Griffin is good at basketball.

I think we have all known it, but some people may have forgotten, so let me say it one more time. Blake Griffin is good at basketball.

Since coming back from his injury, Blake has been on a mission to show people he has still got it. He continued that mission Wednesday night. Blake finished the game with 28 points to go along with 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

The stuff that doesn’t show up in the stat sheet is there too. Blake hustles on every possession, dives for loose balls, and gets back on defense. Griffin has been doing everything for the team with Chris Paul out and tonight it paid off.
