Blake Griffin Dunked on Aron Baynes Twice, Clippers Roll Spurs
By Jason McIntyre
Blake Griffin threw down two electrifying dunks Sunday night – both in the face of San Antonio’s Aron Baynes – and the Clippers easily handled the Spurs, 107-92 in game one of their first round series. Griffin scored 26 points and took 12 rebounds; Chris Paul tallied a game-high 32 points. The Clippers grabbed a double-digit 1st quarter lead and were never seriously threatened.

As expected, home court advantage mattered all weekend – seven of the eight home teams won, with only Washington winning in Toronto. Sunday’s games were mostly blowouts – the only single-digit game was Atlanta 99, Brooklyn 92.
