- Updated: October 14, 2014
Blake Griffin dominated in the Los Angeles Clippers third preseason game, but it wasn’t enough as the Clips fell 102-89. Griffin scored 31 points on 14-22 from the field but the Clippers poor 3 point shooting was the cause of their third loss of the preseason.
Just to show how well Blake Griffin played last night, he didn’t even play in the fourth quarter.

J.J. Redick also played well for the Clippers last night. He added 17 points to go along with Chris Paul who had a double double. Paul totaled 11 points and 11 assists showing it will be another consistent season for him as he is one of the best in the business.
Derrick Favors of the Utah Jazz had a double double of his own. He ended the night with 15 points and 11 rebounds. The Jazz killed the Clippers on the boards as they outrebounded them 55-32. The major rebounding difference also was a factor in second chance points. The Jazz won that category as well, as they beat the Clippers 22-9 in second chance points.
