A series of beautiful passes and a lob led to a highlight slam from Los Angeles Clippers power forward Blake Griffin.

The NBA preseason is almost over and teams are starting to gear up for the regular season. On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings had a game to tune up for the regular season and the Clippers’ offense looked in mid-season form.

As the Clippers got out and running, Chris Paul saw Jamal Crawford with a beat on everyone down the floor. As Crawford caught a beautiful pass, he decided to throw a lob up to a trailing Blake Griffin, who then proceeded to slam home the basketball for the highlight dunk.

Rudy Gay tried to jump up and snag the ball away, but he got nowhere close and the rest of the Kings just sort of stopped and watch. It’s a good sign for the Clippers that their star players look healthy on the floor.

Injuries to Paul and Griffin derailed their chances in the playoffs last season. The good news is with passes and a dunk like that, they should be just as good as they were before the injuries struck them last season.
