Blake Griffin believes the Warriors had a strategy behind the ejections.

“If you look at it, I didn’t do anything and I got thrown out of the game. It all boils down to they (referees) fell for it,” Griffin said. “To me, it’s cowardly basketball. I don’t know their intentions, but it worked. … If I knew the answer I’d probably be in a different position. Tonight I got two technicals for nothing.”

This was just the latest incident between the teams. On Halloween, Andrew Bogut and DeAndre Jordan had an on court scuffle. And the two teams wouldn’t share pre game chapel together either. Warriors win this one, 105-103.
