1) Blake doing Blake-like things in a Blake-like fashion

After coming off of a triple double against the Knicks, Blake Griffin nearly had another, putting up 20 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. From the start of the game, Griffin was extremely active everywhere, flying around (literally) and doing his best to impact every single possession. His full arsenal was on display for the Hornets, and there was nothing they could do about it.

In Chris Paul‘s absence, Blake has been doing everything he can to help this team. And now that he’s back into rhythm, his best efforts are finally stating to paying off.

It’s safe to say that the old Blake is back. Will him continuing to play at such a high level without CP3 put him in MVP talks like in the past? Probably not. But here is a video of Blake wiping a Plumlee brother from the face of the Earth for your viewing pleasures.
