5 Having ball-handling duties is clearly getting to Blake Griffin’s head. That may not be a bad thing though. In transition the (former) big-man dribbled through the Houston ‘D’ before hitting his defender with a 180 spin and a no-look

lay-up

. Not exactly MJ, or AI, but BG is good enough.

had such flair?  (Well, NBA

bigs

except for Nene, maybe.)

alley

don’t often make the reel. But this wasn’t a regular alley-oop. For one thing, Chris Paul had to throw it up high enough to get over 6′ 10” Dwight Howard. However, the reel-worthiness came from

like he’d been hit by a sniper. Curry wasn’t done there, however, sending Kosta Koufos on a camping trip with the hesitation before sinking the triple.
