One of the detriments of being a player with the skill set of DeAndre Jordan is your liability at the free throw line. There’s a whole strategy to go against you and your fantastic offensive prowess and how dominating you are when plays go your way.
In the first half, DeAndre Jordan went to the free throw line 28 times. 28 times taking free throws and he set the NBA record for most attempts in one half of a playoff game. Yes, 28 times. To end the night, DeAndre went to the line a total of 34 times and made 14 of them. Not exactly great numbers at the line but when you’re DeAndre Jordan you can do a few other things pretty well.
Like rebounding, which Jordan managed to pull down 17 rebounds for his team. Or even catch some sick alley-oop dunks from his point guard, Chris Paul.
DeAndre was unleashed in the third quarter and he made the Rockets pay for it in a bad way putting down these amazing slams for Clippers nation to enjoy. Jordan finished the night with a game-high 26 points leading his Clippers to a win over the Rockets.
