Blake Griffin likes being on the same team as point guard Chris Paul

Chris Paul had 15 assists in Saturday’s 112-103 victory over the Detroit Pistons at Staples Center. The 6,000th of his career went to Blake Griffin late in the first quarter.

Afterward, there was a lot of talk about Paul’s milestone, including some from Griffin.

“It says a lot about him,” Griffin said. “That’s a great accomplishment and, obviously, he still has a lot more left to do. But it’s fun playing with a guy that makes the game easier for you like that.”
