Detroit Pistons: Top 3 individual performances from the 2018-19 NBA season

#1 Blake Griffin shows why he's a leader in respectable loss to the Thunder

Blake Griffin averaged a career-high 24.5 ppg this season.

There is no doubt about the fact that Griffin had been the one great force all season long that every team had to go through in order to beat Detroit. He didn't make it easy for the hosts at Oklahoma City before bowing out for a 110-123 loss on the road.

Blake went into Stephen-Curry-mode and shot an amazing 9-of-14(64%) from beyond the arc and finished with a season-high 45 points against the OKC defense. He shot better from the three-point line(64%) than he did from the field (11-of-20 for 55%), and put on a show in April as the end of the regular season approached.

On top of the fireworks from deep, the 6-time All-Star went to the foul line 16 times during the game and made 14 of those. He also had 7 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals to go along with the rest of the carnage.
