Los Angeles Clippers first-year forward Blake Griffin established a franchise rookie record and produced the highest-scoring game in the NBA this season, scoring 47 points Monday afternoon in a 114-107 victory against the Indiana Pacers at Staples Center.
"I looked up at one point and I saw I had 41 points and after that I wasn't even sure what I finished with. It's fun to have a game like that, but it's even more fun to get a win." – Griffin
