DeAndre Jordan remained effective, dropping double-double

Jordan came in clutch in the loss, recording 29 points and 16 rebounds. Also, he had 2 assists and 2 blocks.

His presence in the paint makes a difference. Jordan forces his opponents driving to the rim to attempt shots they normally wouldn’t or pass the ball.

When opponents drive at him to attempt jump shots he makes them alter their release.

Altering their release leads to a lower percentage of made shot attempts.

On the offensive end of the floor he sets high screens which leads to multiple lob slam dunks by him.

He is a tremendous player at crashing the glass earning him many rebounds and points.
