Blake Griffin, Clippers Win Verbal, Physical Battle with Mario Chalmers, Heat

Filed under: Clippers, Heat, NBA Last Night, NBA Videos

You've seen him dunk. You've seen him pass. Against the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, we saw another side of the sure-to-be 2010-11 Rookie of the Year.

We saw Blake Griffin get nasty.

Late in the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Clippers' 111-105 win over the Heat, Griffin and Heat point guard Mario Chalmers debated the high price of beef after Griffin nearly shouldered Chalmers into the courtside seats at STAPLES Center.

Chalmers, as you would expect, took exception. He received the first technical, and after receiving, Chalmers gave back. He said something that made Griffin charge forward, earning Griffin his fifth technical of the season. Chalmers bravely (or foolishly) kept jawing as cooler headbands -- worn by LeBron James and Baron Davis -- stepped between the two.
