"People look at the power adidas superstar noir pas cher femme , the speed and the dunks. They miss the best part of his game and that's his passing," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said of Griffin.
Players talked Rivers out of his plans to set up the plays that led to the key three-pointers.
"It was really one of those games where you listen to them," Rivers said.
"Sometimes as a coach you say, 'No, I'll go with my stuff.' Sometimes, you go with theirs."
Detroit couldn't convert three put-back attempts after a missed free throw in the final seconds.
Reggie Jackson led Detroit with 34 points adidas superstar noir pas cher , 11 rebounds and seven assists. Redick had 24 points while Chris Paul had 13 points and 12 assists for the Clippers.

ASTANA, June 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived here Wednesday for a state visit to Kazakhstan and the 17th meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
During his stay in the Central Asian country adidas superstar blanche pas cher , Xi will also attend the opening ceremony of the Expo 2017 in Astana.
"I am glad to come to the beautiful country of Kazakhstan. I have been deeply impressed by the magnificent Kazakh steppe, vibrant rivers, the racing horses and most of all, the warm-hearted and sincere Kazakh people," Xi said in a written statement released upon his arrival at the airport.
"China and Kazakhstan, friendly neighbors bound by mountains and rivers adidas superstar 80s pas cher femme , have been committed to consolidating our political mutual trust, strengthening cooperation in all areas, and promoting our coordination in international and regional issues since they established diplomatic relations 25 years ago," he noted.
"The booming China-Kazakhstan relationship has brought concrete benefits to the two countries and their peoples," he said. "I look forward to engaging in deep-going exchanges with my old friend, President Nursultan Nazarbayev adidas superstar 80s pas cher , and chart the course of our bilateral relations together."
The Chinese president also expressed his readiness to exchange ideas with other top leaders of the SCO members, and wished the Expo 2017 in Astana a full success.
The trip marks Xi's first visit to Central Asia this year. The Chinese leader had visited Kazakhstan twice since taking office, respectively in 2013 and 2015.
"Over the past quarter of a century, our bilateral relations have withstood the test of time and the ever-changing international situation," Xi said in a signed article published earlier Wednesday in the Kazakh newspaper Aikyn Gazeti. "Our two countries are not only good neighbors, but also comprehensive strategic partners."
Xi proposed the Silk Road Economic Belt adidas superstar pas cher , part of his Belt and Road Initiative, at the Nazarbayev University on Sept. 7, 2013. The country has since then been committed to aligning its development strategy of "Nurly Zhol," or "Bright Path" in the Kazakh language, with the China-proposed initiative.
"Over the past four years, the Belt and Road Initiative has gradually developed from a proposal to actions adidas nmd xr4 pas cher femme , and from a concept to practice," said Xi in the article. "We need to synergize our development.
