The mark Griffin put on Kendrick Perkins last night is irremovable. ESPN has been playing it nonstop, but if you missed it, you can check it out HERE.
To his credit, the OKC Thunder said that last night’s monster dunk is just one of those things that happen from time to time, and accepted that shot-blockers must learn to live with these occassional humiliations.
Check what Perkins had to say about it after the jump…
From Hoopsworld:
“Well, it happens,” said Perkins. “At the end of the day if you’re a shot blocker, you’re going to get dunked on. It was a great play that he made. Obviously I wish I wasn’t in it, but it was a great play that he made. Definitely.”
There was some debate among journalists while waiting for the Thunder locker room to open. Did Griffin initiate contact with his off hand? Should it have been an offensive foul? “It was a clean dunk,” said Perkins. Kendrick didn’t get a great look at the play as it unfolded. “I didn’t know what happened,” said Perkins. “I just knew I was trying to get to the rotation. Our defensive coverage had broke down and that’s what it was.”
Poor guy.
Oh, by the way, the Los Angeles Clippers beat the OKC Thunder last night.
