"(I was) shooting open shots all night, so it was nice to see some of them go through." Griffin may claim there was no disrespect, but he was clearly aware that Rivers devised a game plan that essentially dared Griffin to beat his team. And they shot them and they made them. But Griffin opted to take the high road when asked about Philly leaving him open Wednesday night -- or did he? "I could have made some of those threes. Someone in this room could have made those threes," Rivers joked.

Last night against the Philadelphia 76ers, Blake Griffin played his highest-scoring game for the Boston Celtics this season. The former All-Star forward ...

The Clippers had an 87-68 lead with just over 2 minutes remaining in the third quarter of Game 6 but then Houston's coach Kevin McHale made the bold choice to bench James Harden. In fact, one of the biggest playoff collapses followed in 2015. Griffin signed a huge five-year $173 million deal which was a franchise record at the time. The situation turned around completely. The former All-Star forward made 5 triples in the game and was tied for second on the team in scoring with 15 points. Led by Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Rajon Rondo, the team lost a 3-2 lead in the 2010 NBA Finals and the 2012 Eastern Conference Final against LeBron James' Miami Heat.

When Horford and Williams have missed time, the Celtics have turned to Griffin for spot starts. But the 76ers dared him to shoot more, and Griffin made them regret him. The fully healthy 76ers failed to account for Griffin’s shot-making, and while they managed to stop Tatum, their plan ultimately failed to earn them a win. I thought Blake did a great job giving us presence and just giving us a lift at the beginning of the game.” “I think we go into situations like this with the utmost trust and comfortability because of our depth and the character of our guys. Philadelphia forced Griffin to act as a primary scoring option - and the big man delivered.

Sixers vs. Boston Celtics takeaways: Blake Griffin throws shade ... (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

The Sixers had a chance to show their strength against a true NBA contender this season, but the team wilted against the Celtics.

The Celtics guard blocked two shots in addition to scoring 19 points. Harris’ four points were his second lowest scoring total of the season. The Sixers standout forward missed eight of 10 shots, including his four three-point attempts. But the Sixers weaknesses were exposed in each defeat. On that night, the Sixers looked lazy on defense and stopped boxing out. The Sixers blew a 21-point cushion while losing, 119-109, on Jan. Instead, the Sixers looked disorganized and couldn’t guard anyone in the perimeter. Then they blew another 21-point lead en route to losing, 108-97, to the undermanned New York Knicks on Sunday. Then came Wednesday night’s game against at Celtics team that began the game without key starters Al Horford (right knee swelling), Marcus Smart (sprained right ankle) and Robert Williams III (sprained left ankle). As a team, the Celtics (39-16) shot 19-for-35 from deep. Harden said Griffin’s 15 points on wide-open threes were hard to overcome. Tyrese Maxey appears to be a little funk.
