They have lost two of their past three games, and in the one victory \u2014 over the .500 Mavericks \u2014 they needed to rally from a 12-point halftime deficit. The two wins before this brief stretch came by a combined seven points over the mediocre Knicks and Timberwolves, two games that could\u2019ve gone either way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo many stretches where we weren\u2019t physical enough and didn\u2019t have the fight,\u201d Nash said, referring specifically to the Rockets loss.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>After falling out of the rotation and missing the previous six games, Blake Griffin returned Wednesday and logged 13 minutes. The veteran forward had seven points and three rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlake was great. It\u2019s a tough position when you don\u2019t play, but he\u2019s continued to have a great attitude,\u201d Nash said. \u201cIt looked like he didn\u2019t miss a beat.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
