FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations on Saturday afternoon’s 109-104 win over the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center
HAPPY HOMECOMING – One thing the Clippers are missing since trading Blake Griffin: somebody who can guard Blake Griffin. Turns out you can go home again. Griffin, in his first game at Staples Center against the Clippers, was at his best. He scored 44 points, grabbed eight rebounds and passed for five assists – and should have had another handful for all the open shots he created for teammates – as the Pistons snapped a four-game losing streak with an emotional matinee win.
