Blake Griffin's Impact on Celtics' Game 1 Win
Celtics Power Forward Excels in Debut
Impressive Performance Despite Career Lows
In the absence of James Harden and with limited bench depth, the Brooklyn Nets found an unexpected savior in Blake Griffin during Game 1 of their playoff series against the Boston Celtics.
Griffin, a six-time All-Star, entered the game averaging a career-low 5.5 points and 4.9 rebounds while shooting just 31.6% from behind the 3-point arc. However, he turned back the clock against the Nets, contributing 18 points and 10 rebounds in just 24 minutes of action.
Griffin's impact was particularly felt in the second quarter, when he drained back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Celtics a 10-point lead. His ability to space the floor and create opportunities for his teammates proved invaluable.
With the series shifting to Boston for Game 2, Griffin will be hungry to continue his strong play. The Celtics will need him to provide consistent production if they hope to advance to the second round.
