Blake Griffin In For First Revenge Game Of His Career

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin has had this game marked since the second he found out he was traded.

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo scored 28 points on 16 shots, hitting five of eight from three-point range.

In only 19 minutes, he scored 19 points on 12 shots, adding five rebounds and five assists to his stat line.
