Brandon Jennings was upset about being snubbed in the All-Star game, losing his spot to Darren Collison, and led his side with 35 points, knocking down 5 three-pointers and taking the MVP honors.
"I think I should have made it. Darren didn't even bother to play tonight, when we play Indiana, I'll serve him right."
David Andersen added 18 points and 3 blocks. Alonzo Gee of the Cavaliers was all over the court with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals, shooting 7-12. Serge Ibaka had 12 points and Omri Casspi had 10, including a big throwdown over Blake Griffin and DeMarcus Cousins.
Blake Griffin scored 36 points on 17-25 shooting, displaying his mid-range game, not his amazing leaping ability. He also had 8 rebounds, 6 blocks and 4 assists, but missed two tries to tie the game.
His teammate Eric Bledsoe had 15 points and 16 assists. Wesley Johnson had 14, Greg Monroe and DeMarcus Cousins also reached double-figures. Jeremy Lin had 9 points and 7 assists.
Jennings scored 28 in the second half, including a 19-point third quarter. He also scored the go-ahead bucket late in the game with 32 seconds to go.
Blake Griffin had an attempt to tie the game right after, but missed a shot hook-shot. Alonzo Gee dribbled out the clock and pulled up for a mid-range shot to ice the game, but missed.
The Rookies held the ball to have the final shot, Bledsoe passed it to Griffin, who was doubled. There was not much time left and he had to shoot a fadeaway jumper, but missed the shot.
Blake will show his leaping ability tomorrow, when he will challenge LeBron James, Chase Budinger and Rookie Challenge MVP Brandon Jennings in the Dunk contest.
Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kyle Korver and Danny Granger will take the floor in the 3PT-shootout.
