NEW YORK -- The press room at Madison Square Garden was running out of chicken before Wednesday's New York Knicks-Los Angeles Clippers game. One of the servers said they didn't expect this many people.
When Clippers star forward Blake Griffin comes to town, any number of media folk should be expected. What shouldn't be expected, though, is a high-scoring output from Griffin's amigos, the rest of the Clippers' team.
On the game's biggest stage, it was the Clippers, not Griffin alone, who bloomed in the Garden, staving off the Knicks, 116-108, Wednesday night.
"The top players on each team, the different cities you go to, that's what you are going to talk about," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said before Wednesday's game, in regards to Griffin receiving most of the attention for his team on the road. "But it's not one player; it takes a team to win. We have a very nice core of guys."
Nice indeed. Despite being without the team's top scorer, Eric Gordon, who is still out with a wrist injury, the Clippers had six guys in double figures Wednesday. They shot 54.7 percent from the field. They answered every comeback the Knicks made with clutch shots of their own. They also got big production from Eric Bledsoe (24 points) and Randy Foye (16).
