Blake doing Blake things

Blake Griffin made the game worth watching when he scored 13 of his 23 points in the third quarter. Along with 23 points, he tallied 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Blake went 10 for 17 from the field (58.8%) and also hit one of two attempted three pointers.

In his monster third quarter, the Cavs didn’t seem very interested in guarding Blake at all, and they certainly paid for it. During one stretch of the quarter, the Clippers went to Blake it seemed like every single possession, and he scored on each one.

Per usual, Blake put his full arsenal of offensive skills on display. That included mid range shots, post play, and his play making that we’ve seen more and more of recently. He even gave us this amazing dunk over three Cavs players, which was very refreshing, seeing how explosive he still is.
