This game didn’t end up being that meaningful in narrative.
Blake Griffin was going up against his old team for the first time. Sharing that experience, but in the other locker room, were Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, and Boban Marjonivic.
None of those narratives ended up being that compelling. There was little on-court tension (aside from a routine scuffle between Griffin and Bradley, who have never been teammates), Bradley had a solid 10-point, 8-rebound game, but didn’t do anything exemplary. Griffin (19 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists on 7-19 FG and 1-7 3PT) and Harris (12 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 5-14 FG and 2-7 3PT) both had underwhelming performances after trading starting spots in last week’s trade.
