Unleashed Manimal shows the "POP & GO" to Blake Griffin

Blake Griffin usually has his way with most players when it comes jamming down at least a couple spectacular dunks in every game, but Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried was ready for the Los Angeles Clippers' human showcase reel and "The Manimal" even tweeted about it before the game.

"I'm up I'm up I'm up & ready to "POP & GO" 

#leggo #Grind Hard #UnleashTheManimal"

In the second quarter, Faried chased Blake down and swatted away what looked like another addition to the 2012 Blake Griffin highlight reel.

It was only a matter of time before Griffin got revenge and, in the fourth quarter, he got a bit of redemption by slamming the ball over the outstretched arms of The Manimal and through the rim.

For the time being though, Faried must have felt good.

The Clippers went on to defeat the the Nuggets, 104-98, in Denver.
