PLAYA VISTA, Calif – The win streak’s up to nine games, and the spectacular plays continue to pile up.
Here are the top five plays from last week.
5) Not in here
DeAndre Jordan had four blocks in each of his first two games of the week, then made one of his two blocks against the Pelicans count with an exclamation mark on Eric Gordon’s attempt.
4) Rivers shake
Austin Rivers has caught fire in recent weeks, finishing off last week shaking Toney Douglas before this jumper near the elbow.
3) Jordan finishes off Portland
The Clippers stormed ahead of Portland early, then this lob from Chris Paul to Jordan put the ribbon on the victory.
2) Best of Wes
Wesley Johnson can rise up with the best of them. This looked like it could’ve been a lost possession until Johnson’s movement and Jordan’s passing lead to a give-and-go for the slam.
1) Crawford to Jordan
Jordan’s averaging 14.8 points and 14.3 rebounds per game in January. He’s also 71.5 percent from the floor this year, and finishes like this through traffic help contribute to that mark.
