Blake Griffin surpassed his own Clippers rookie record with an NBA season-high 47 points and Baron Davis added a season-high 12 assists as the surging Los Angeles Clippers beat the visiting Indiana Pacers 114-107 in a Monday matinee.
Griffin hit his usual array of dazzling shots, finished 19-of-24 from the floor and adding 14 rebounds and three assists as the Clippers outscored Indiana 33-27 in the fourth to pull out their sixth win in seven games.
Eric Gordon was two points shy of his fourth straight 25-plus outing and Davis scored 14 while turning the ball over just for Los Angeles, which has won five straight.
Danny Granger scored 32 points and Darren Collison added a season-high 30 for the Pacers, who have lost eight of 11.
Although Griffin had 36 points through three quarters, the Clippers couldn’t shake the Pacers and actually trailed 80-79 heading into the fourth.
Davis drained a 3-pointer and followed with another jumper to provide Los Angeles a 96-90 lead with 7:16 left and Griffin took the Clips home. He scored 11 the rest of the way, including a hook with 1:54 left that provided a 109-104 lead.
Davis then drained a 3-pointer after Collison hit a jumper to restore a six-point edge.
