Blake Griffin showed why he is one of the highest paid players in the NBA. He was virtually unstoppable in Detroit’s 118-116 win over the Chicago Bulls at the United a Center. Griffin scored 33 points including a 3-pointer, his fifth of the game, to put Detroit up 5 with a minute left.
It seemed to be a shot to ice the game. But a dumb Reggie Jackson foul put Justin Holiday at the line to bring the Bulls two points closer. Griffin then saw a shot dance around the rim but not fall.
