Blake Griffin bakes up 44 points, Pistons topple Clippers
Detroit Pistons forward/center Blake Griffin scored 44 points (13-of-23 field goals, 13-of-14 free throws) with 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 5 3-pointers, and 4 turnovers in 40.1 minutes of a 109-104 win over the Detroit Pistons.
It was a quintessential "Revenge Game" for Griffin in his first career matchup against the Clippers at Staples Center, scoring at least 40 points for the second time this season. He was locked in and well-rested after getting a breather on Thursday in the second end of a back-to-back set. The Clippers visit the Utah Jazz on Monday.
Griffin scored 69.1 FanDuel points in the victory. He's averaging 43.4 FanDuel points through 39 games this season.
