Los Angeles — Blake Griffin walked off the court to cheers from the home crowd after fouling out in Game 4 of the Detroit Pistons’ first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks at Little Caesars Arena.
It was April 22, the last day of the season and the last time they saw that Blake Griffin, the one who seemed superhuman and had willed his way back from a knee injury. After missing the first two games of the series in Milwaukee, Griffin played the last two games and averaged 24.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.0 assists in the final two games.
