But this game carried a little more significance than usual.
It was Game 2 of the American Basketball League championship series, and Griffith's all-around performance helped dump the Columbus Quest, 71-61.
Griffith's 12 points, 13 rebounds, three assists and three steals showed the 3,856 in attendance her diverse skills.
Oh yes, add a blocked shot, too. This following a Game 1 Long Beach victory in which she scored 16 points and corralled 18 rebounds.
"Yolanda played so well these two nights, both offensively and defensively," StingRay Coach Maura McHugh said of the Defensive Player of the Year.
Following Griffith's lead, the StingRays have taken a two-game advantage in the best-of-five series, placing Columbus in a desperate situation.
The Quest, the defending champs, must win three consecutive games to repeat.
Though Griffith paced the StingRays, she was not alone. The 6-foot-4 forward got help from her friends, the sign of a top-caliber team. Guard Beverly Williams added 18 points, six rebounds and three steals.
"Tonight was a gut check," Williams said. "We knew it would be hard to go into Columbus and win two."
StingRay guard Dana Wilkerson, former Long Beach State star, came off the bench and scored the first five points of a key 16-3 run in the third quarter.
The surge, which started at 7:27, gave Long Beach the lead for good, 47-43, to close the quarter.
"Dana gave us a big spark," McHugh said. "She is so quick on defense and she's played well in practice."
The StingRays used the quickness of Wilkerson and Williams to slow down the high-scoring Quest.
Columbus' potent offense had averaged 91.5 points per game in four regular-season meetings and four victories against Long Beach.
But the StingRays held Columbus to just 26 points in the second half, eight in the third quarter.
Long Beach's intensity bothered Columbus, as the Quest shot 24 percent in the final 20 minutes.
Forward Katie Smith, an offensive juggernaut, scored four points. Smith had foul trouble for much of the game and she fouled out with 2:31 left in the game.
Columbus center Valerie Still also had foul trouble, scoring 11 points before fouling out at 3:21. She grabbed six rebounds, but struggled to hang onto the ball, committing five turnovers.
Long Beach has set a playoff record, winning five consecutive games, but it faces Game 3 tonight in Columbus.
Columbus (36-8) protected its court well, losing just once before going undefeated the rest of the season at home.
