Los Angeles — The L.A. bright lights and the big moment weren’t too big for Blake Griffin.
Almost like a Hollywood script, Griffin drew all the attention in his first game playing against his former team, in the media crucible of Los Angeles.
Griffin looked right at home at Staples Center, scoring 26 of his 44 points in the first-half, much to the delight of the L.A. crowd, who cheered him heartily after he was introduced in the pregame and again during a timeout, when the Clippers showed a tribute video in the first half on the video board.
