Blake Griffin recorded his third triple-double of the postseason and second straight during the playoffs, leading the Clippers with 26 points, 14 rebounds and a career-high 13 assists in their Game 1 win against the Rockets.
The Clippers’ power forward isn’t just passing well. He’s finding the open man at a rate better than most teams’ starting point guards, averaging 8.1 assists per game. Only two other players, John Wall and James Harden, have averaged more assists per game than Griffin this postseason.
Griffin’s now averaging 27 points, 8.1 assists and 13.3 rebounds per game this postseason. He’s pulled in double-digit rebounds every game, scored at least 20 points in all but one game and has at least seven assists in five games.
