Blake Griffin highlights: Celtics vet turns back clock w/ dunks on Charlotte in Boston's 140-105 blowout of Hornets

by

While the expectations for Boston Celtics veteran big man Blake Griffin to impact games have changed over the years with his style of play shifting his role from a high-flying dunker to a shooting and passing big man known for taking charges with skill, there are still moments where the Oklahoma native can turn back the clock and yam on someone.

On Monday night against the Charlotte Hornets, the six-time All-Star did exactly that — and not once, but twice. Griffin wowed fans and his own bench two separate times on Monday, throwing down a pair of rim-rattling flushes on his way to a 9-points outing that also saw the Oklahoma alum take a charge.

To celebrate Griffin finding the fountain of youth for the night, the folks behind the Bllen YouTube channel put together a highlight clip of Griffin getting busy Monday night.
