Before this season, Griffin had attempted five or more three-pointers just two other times in his career. Blake Griffin...

Game #2 Preview: Ricky Rubio’s Return
Let’s take a trip down memory lane as Ricky Rubio returns to Target Center tonight as a member of the Utah Jazz. The Timberwolves trail by three points and have possession with under 30 seconds remaining. Luke Ridnour finds a lane and attacks the basket, only to be met by the helping Blake Griffin. Ridnour counters by kicking the ball out to Derrick Williams outside the arc on the right wing. Clippers guard Randy Foye, matched up with Ricky Rubio, rotates over to Williams to force an extra pass. Williams swings it to Rubio in the right corner and there’s nobody there. The Clippers...

Lakers vs. Clippers Final Score: Lakers drop season opener 108-92, disappoint out of the gates
The Lakers’ new era didn’t get off to the start anyone was hoping for. The Los Angeles Lakers season started with a loss after a disappointing 108-92 loss to the LA Clippers. The purple and gold had no answer for Blake Griffin, who scored a game-high 29 points, and were reminded that it’s going to take more than positive vibes to climb the Western Conference. The Lakers looked exactly like the young, inexperienced team they are. Lonzo Ball’s debut wasn’t the memorable christening of the new franchise star many had hoped for, scoring just three points with four assists and nine...

Blake Griffin Posterized Julius Randle
It was sick, wicked, and nasty People say Blake Griffin has lost his athleticism all the time. They say he doesn’t dunk any more. That he isn’t fun to watch any more. Well, that’s just not true. He might not be as explosive as he was once, but Blake Griffin still knows how to dunk. And he still enjoys nothing more than putting a helpless opponent on a vicious poster. If you need evidence, just watch this video of him absolutely wrecking Julius Randle. It came on one of his patented dribble-drives, where he just went right around his initial defender. Yea, he still does this....
