Blake Griffin’s frustrations got the better of him, and he got ejected for it.

The connection appeared to be intentional on the part of Griffin, who leant in and collided with Monk’s thigh. The five-time All-Star received a flagrant-2 foul, and was ejected from the game.
It was a rare poor showing from Griffin, who had just 10 points, and missed all five of his three-point attempts.
Kemba Walker and Tony Parker led the way for the Hornets in what ended up being a 113-103 victory, with the two point guards putting up 24 points apiece. The Hornets moved to 7-6 on the season, picking up an important win over a conference foe.
Andre Drummond was the high-man for the Pistons, finishing with 23 points and 22 rebounds.

When asked about that report before Sunday night’s game, Morey said: “that’s inaccurate.”
“},{“contentType”:”HTML”,”html”:”
The Rockets, who reached the Western Conference finals last season, are off to a disappointing 4-7 start, with many outsiders blaming Anthony for the struggles. Morey went on to say that he wanted to speak to reporters in large part to defend Anthony.

“},{“contentType”:”EXTERNAL_EMBED”,”body”:”“},{“contentType”:”HTML”,”html”:”
“It’s unfair that there’s all this speculation on just one person,” Morey said. “I understand it he’s obviously a Hall of Famer. But it’s unfair.”
“},{“contentType”:”HTML”,”html”:”
Anthony, who is in his 16th season, has averaged 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds in 10 games with two starts this season.
“},{“contentType”:”HTML”,”html”:”
When asked if he’s evaluating Anthony’s role on the team, Morey said they’re evaluating everyone as they try to get the team on track.
“},{“contentType”:”HTML”,”html”:”
“I know that we’re talking about everything,” he said. “We’re a team trying to win the championship and we’re 4-7 and we’re not in a good place so we’re looking at everything. We’re looking at all aspects right now.”
“},{“contentType”:”HTML”,”html”:”
He added that he “would expect” Anthony to play when he’s healthy. Anthony joined the Rockets after a tumultuous season with the Thunder where he averaged a career-low 16.2 points in 78 starts. Coach Mike D’Antoni laughed off the supposition that the rumours about Anthony are a distraction to his team.
“},{“contentType”:”VIDEO”,”marbleApiEnv”:”prod”,”playerType”:”player”,”videoId”:706790},{“contentType”:”HTML”,”html”:”
“Our problem is we can’t shoot the basketball,” he said. “That’s a hindrance … and we’ve got to fix that.”
“},{“contentType”:”HTML”,”html”:”
D’Antoni said Houston’s problems are definitely not Anthony’s fault and agreed with Morey that the outside criticism of him has been unfair. “Melo’s been great and he’s done everything we’ve asked,” D’Antoni said.
“},{“contentType”:”HTML”,”html”:”
Morey said that it’s “his job” to figure out how to get the team going, but that he’s seen signs recently that things will soon turn around.
“},{“contentType”:”HTML”,”html”:”
“I feel like we have been playing better … but the reality is we’re nowhere near where we expect to be and we have high expectations and we’re going to stick with those,” Morey said.
