That is some old-school Blake Griffin.
He backed down the smaller Damian Lillard — good job by the refs with the no-call on Lillard’s flop (yes Blazers fans, that was a flop) — and Griffin went to the rim with authority. Mason Plumlee tried to come over and help, but he just ended up in the poster.
From the start, the Clippers tried to post-up Griffin, especially if they could go at Al-Farouq Aminu. To Griffin’s credit, he was not settling for jump shots he was using his power to get to the rim. This was as good as he’s looked since his return from quad injury/broken hand/suspension.
