We just got complacent — myself, everybody. We didnt have a sense of urgency and then had to push that go button, so to speak. We let our guard down, and we just cant do that.Griffin led the Clippers to a 62-56 halftime lead with 18 points on 8-for-13 shooting, after missing his first six shots in Thursdays 93-90 win over Oklahoma City.
