3) Blake doing Blake things, plus more
Blake was unstoppable against the Lakers, putting up 36 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. If that’s not impressive enough, he shot 12/15 from the field (80%) and 4/7 from three. Which means his only 3 misses came from outside the arch, and he shot 100% from inside the arch. Blake also set his career high in 3-pointers made in a game (4). It is safe to say that he can shoot.
A majority of Blake’s field goals came in the form of jumpers. It’s good to see him shooting well after going through a semi-slump not too long ago. He even hit the late game dagger that prevented the Lakers from possibly winning the game.
In other Blake news, Blake scored his 10,000th point of his career with the first basket of the game. He is now the first player in Clippers history to score 10,000 points all scored in a Clippers uniform.

It also may be worth nothing that this is Blake’s first time scoring 30 or more points in back to back games since 2015.
Blake Griffin: scored 30+ points in back-to-back games for first time since Jan 16-17 of 2015
