Think of the Hornets as a KIA Optima.
Forget that the Celtics just finished the first half making 14-of-25 from behind the arc en route to a 78-55 lead over the visiting Hornets. Alert! Alert! Alert! Blake Griffin just took off.
It was exactly on the level of 2011 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, but hey, more than a decade later, it was nice to see the 12-year veteran and overall good dude get up one more time.

The smile on Griffin’s face says it all.
