Blake Griffin late Friday night was stoked about his team’s 102-85 victory over the host Houston Rockets, but Griffin indicated he wants to finish this seven-game road trip on a positive note, so it’s time to forget the Rockets and focus on the Utah Jazz.

The Clippers (10-5) and Jazz (5-11) tangle tonight (Saturday) at 6 at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake (on Prime Ticket). The Clippers are 5-1 on the trip.

“Obviously, this game was important,” said Griffin, who scored 30 points and grabbed 10 rebounds against the Rockets. “We always say that the next (game) we are about to play is the most important on the schedule. We can’t overlook anybody. It was a good win for us, but now we have to really close this thing out.”
