Blake Griffin gets first triple-double in Clippers' hard-fought win over Wizards

One suggestion for the next time the Clippers and Wizards happen to run into each other on the court:

How about simplifying things, reducing the issue to two on two?

Or maybe they could simply start with overtime.

The Wizards could feature dunking impresario JaVale McGee and sensational rookie point guard John Wall. And for the Clippers, it would be sensational rookie power forward Blake Griffin and point guard Mo Williams. (No Kia required.)

That would be preferable after Wednesday's painstaking, often painful-looking game, a 127-119 double-overtime victory for the Clippers over the road-challenged Wizards at Staples Center that featured the first triple-double of Griffin's career — 33 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists. He also tied Elton Brand's Clippers record of 55 double-doubles.

"It means a lot," Griffin said. "But the best part about it is getting it along with the win."
