LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Blake Griffin had a career-high 47 points and 14 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied to beat the Indiana Pacers 114-107 on Monday.

It was Griffin's 33rd double-double of his rookie season, and his 19 field goals made were a career best.

Danny Granger scored 32 points, making 10 of 11 free throws, and former UCLA star Darren Collison added 30 points and eight assists for the Pacers.

Eric Gordon added 23 points and Baron Davis had 14 points and 12 assists for the Clippers, who were coming off a win over the two-time defending NBA champion Lakers a day earlier and have won 10 of their last 14.
