Entering game one with Chris Paul sidelined with a hamstring injury for the Clippers, many assumed that the Rockets would easily come out with the win. But a certain man by the name of Blake Griffin proved them wrong.
On Monday night, Griffin had his best playoff performance to date, posting a huge triple double of 26 points, 14 rebounds, and 13 assists in leading the CP3-less Clippers for the improbable game one road victory (117-101) against the Rockets to take a 1-0 series lead.
