Los Angeles Clippers: 3 Takeaways From Game 2

2: Blake Griffin Settles In

Blake Griffin led both teams in scoring in Game 1. However, that game was a tale of two halves. Griffin lit up the scoreboard in the first half of Game 1 but struggled mightily in the second half — especially down the stretch with his two-point fourth quarter.

Griffin was also careless with the ball, turning it over six times.

His performance in Game 2 was far more consistent. He put up 11 of his 24 points in the second half and was actually slightly more efficient after the halftime buzzer. Additionally, he did not commit a single turnover in either half.

Griffin once again led both teams in scoring. However, his Game 1 performance was entirely predicated on his strong first half. Griffin’s impact in this game was felt throughout, and he even threw down some impressive dunks.

Still, neither his dunking nor his overall performance matched the brilliant play of his fellow starting big man.
