The Nets and Jazz had a big battle in Utah on Tuesday, and it didn’t work out well for Brooklyn in the 119-114 finish. Among those who performed well was Brooklyn center DeAndre Jordan, who came off the bench for Jarrett Allen.
Although Allen had one of the more impressive plays of the game, blocking Rudy Gobert — giving the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year a taste of his own medicine — he made some mistakes throughout and dealt with foul trouble again, fouling out with 5:58 left in the game. This presented Jordan with more opportunities, and the veteran big man took advantage, logging a double-double.
For all of the important plays Jordan made, the one which garners the most attention is the one few can make — the alley-opp from Spencer Dinwiddie that Jordan threw down over Jazz center Tony Bradley. This alley-oop did have more flair than the typical throwdown — it’s not every day someone hurdles and NBA player.
WATCH YOUR HEAD.
