    Those critics who label Blake Griffin's offense one-dimensional? The Los Angeles Clippers rookie answered them with the NBA's high-scoring game this season.

    Hitting a mix of bank shots, hooks and turnaround jumpers, Griffin had a career-high 47 points and 14 rebounds for his 27th consecutive double-double, helping the Clippers rally to beat the Indiana Pacers 114-107 on Monday.

    "It's cool because all I hear is, 'He can dunk and jumps high,'" Griffin said. "People question the other skills and as a basketball player, you take that personally."

    It was Griffin's 33rd double-double of his rookie season, and his 19 field goals made were a career best. His points topped the previous league high of 46 by Golden State's Monta Ellis.
