Los Angeles Clippers vs. Washington Wizards (February 15, 2012)

On February 15, the Clippers played the Wizards. This was great for the Clippers. The Wizards only had Young and Wall while almost everyone on the Clippers is great. Of course, the Clippers have aquired Young from Washington since then. Also, the Wizards aquired Nene from the Nuggets. The Clippers would win 102-84. John Wall had a fantastic game with 18 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. Blake Griffin had an even better game with 23 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal. JaVale Mcgee had 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Chris Paul had 16 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, and 1 steal.

The player of the game goes to Blake Griffin.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Washington Wizards (February 4, 2012)

Yesterday the Clippers went to Washington to face the Wizards. The Clippers dominated the whole game. Both Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan got double-doubles. John Wall was close, but did not get there. The Clippers won 107-81. They would've won, but Blake Griffin was sitting out at the end because they were up by so much.

Finalists for player of the game:

Blake Griffin: 21 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 1 block

John Wall: 14 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal

DeAndre Jordan: 18 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks

Player of the game goes to Blake Griffin because if they didn't take him out at the end, he would've gotten a triple-double.

Who do you think was player of the game?
