1. Blake Griffin vs. Los Angeles Lakers

For the most part, the Los Angeles Lakers have been used and abused this season. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers have been hurt and underwhelming. When the two met Saturday night, only one of those things continued -- and, if you asked Blake Griffin, you'd know it was the former.

In 40 minutes, Griffin tallied 36 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists with an offensive rating of 173.0. He knocked down 12 of 15 shots and 8 of 9 from the line for a true shooting percentage of 94.9%. His nERD of 68.98 was the highest mark of the week, much to the chagrin of Lakers fans everywhere.
