If we told you that members of the Clippers and Mavericks got into a shoving match during a game last night, how much would you be willing to wager that it involved Blake Griffin? Well, guess what? You would be losing some money!

Last night, Matt Barnes, Chris Paul, and Shawn Marion earned a triple-technical foul in the third quarter of the Clips/Mavs game for pushing and shoving one another. And believe it or not, Griffin—who has gotten into his fair share of shoving matches during the current season (see here and here for proof)—did not get involved in the scuffle. In fact, he didn't come into the picture until the end of it when he actually tried to separate the two sides and keep the peace.

Watch the clip above to see the shoving match. Well done, Blake. Who knew you were such a peacemaker?!
