It looks like Blake Griffin is tired of the hard fouls he gets hit with and finally decided to fight back, taking it all out on Trevor Booker during the Clippers 101-97 preseason win over the Jazz.
Blake elevated for a dunk and Booker tried to stop the easy two-points but ended up with a hard foul on Griffin. Blake then went after Trevor and the two had to be separated by teammates and the refs.

“I was going to but then I thought its preseason,” Griffin said when asked about retaliating. “It’s not worth it, that’s not the person I want to waste it on.”
When Griffin was asked if he feels close to retaliating if the hard fouls continue, he said, “Yeah, probably. I’m not going to do it for no reason or if it’s not warranted and I didn’t feel that was.” …
“You don’t ever want him to do anything but he gets hit with more cheap shots than anybody in the league,” Rivers said. “I don’t even think it’s close.”
