Kendrick Perkins Compares Andrew Wiggins' Huge Dunk On Luka Doncic To What Blake Griffin Did To Him: "That's A Bucket And An NFT."

Andrew Wiggins had the game of his life in Game 3 against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night. He was instrumental in the 4th quarter in stopping the Mavs from making a run. And aside from making timely buckets, it was how he made them that was so impressive, running in for some aggressive moves to the cup and some authoritative dunks.

The LA Clippers and Blake Griffin need each other

Blake Griffin’s time as an LA Clipper was a spectacular one. In eight full seasons donning the white, red, and blue – Griffin became arguably the league’s best big man. His run consisted of five consecutive All-Star selections and nightly appearances on ESPN’s top ten list.

Blake Griffin hinting at desire to return to the Clippers

An ugly divorce could lead to a happy ending for the LA Clippers and Blake Griffin. Although the Clippers was often viewed as a bottom-of-the-barrel franchise, Griffin did his very best to erase that perpetual stigma. Having played on the less than glamorous side of Crypto.com Arena, Griffin, along with...

Blake Griffin hints he’s open to Clippers return

The fallout from the trade that sent Blake Griffin to the Detroit Pistons in 2018 is well-documented, and for that reason, the idea that Griffin would ever return to the Los Angeles Clippers has been laughable for the last four years. However, a tweet Griffin liked on Tuesday suggests he’s open to it.

Blake Griffin gives Nets lift off the bench

Steve Nash had no plans to alter the Nets’ playing rotation on Saturday night, but he went for an infusion of experience with his team trailing late in the third quarter. Blake Griffin made his first appearance of this year’s playoffs — and his first overall since April 2 — and scored eight points in eight minutes of the Nets’ 109-103 Game 3 loss to the Celtics.

Jayson Tatum’s defensive impact, Jaylen Brown punishing Blake Griffin and more takeaways from Celtics’ Game 3 win over Nets

Four takeaways after the Celtics beat the Nets to take a commanding 3-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Jayson Tatum makes his defensive mark as Kevin Durant flounders again: The All-Star Celtics forward has prided himself on being a two-way player all year for one of the best defenses in the NBA. He took that effort to a different level on Saturday night in helping limit Kevin Durant to just 11 field goal attempts despite the fact he played a series-high 46 minutes. Tatum’s physical center was at the forefront of that pedestrian outing as he posted a career-high six steals thanks to a sharp discipline in getting into passing lanes and stripping players on their drives, which ended up being just as impressive as his game-high 39 points.

Nets' Blake Griffin: Puts up eight points off bench

Griffin logged eight points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one block in eight minutes during Saturday's 109-103 loss to the Celtics. Griffin, who had been out of the rotation, came out of nowhere and drilled two consecutive three-pointers during what can only be described as a fourth-quarter experiment by head coach Steve Nash. The 33-year-old was visibly gassed after only a few minutes of court time, although he did well in his limited action. His flurry of activity hints at potential for an increased presence in Monday's Game 4.

Nets' Blake Griffin: Returns to rotation Monday

Griffin logged nine points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 20 minutes during Monday's 114-106 victory over the Jazz. After being a healthy DNP in seven of the Nets' past eight contests, Griffin returned to the rotation Monday with Andre Drummond (illness) sidelined. While his numbers weren't prolific, the former Sooner was efficient and productive across 20 minutes of action -- his most since Feb. 12. If Drummond is ruled out again, Griffin figures to garner a similar role during Wednesday's contest against the Grizzlies.
