Blake Griffin unleashes acrobatic dunk on Spencer Hawes


Add this one to Blake Griffin's highlight reel -- and somewhere toward the beginning.

In his third game back from injury, Griffin helped the Clippers run away with Monday's game against the 76ers by the third quarter. Then, the All-Star forward pulled off a move that you wouldn't expect from someone coming back from a hamstring strain.

After setting a pick for Chris Paul, Griffin collected a bounce pass with only Sixers center Spencer Hawes standing between him and the rim. Hawes made an admirable effort despite the imminent threat of posterization, but Griffin switched hands and threw down a dunk that even the Philadelphia crowd appreciated.

Griffin then helped create the most Clippers sequence of all time by missing the subsequent free throw, allowing DeAndre Jordan to slam it in off the rebound.

If only Jordan had been fouled on the play, his free throws could have started a never-ending loop of Clippers dunks. It's coming someday.
