On the Importance of an Excellent Point Guard to a Center

Clang!

Morris's highly difficult shot missed the mark, just as expected.

DeAndre Jordan shook his head, but had no choice but to immediately fight for the rebound.

Once again, he secured the rebound. His rim protection had been excellent tonight.

But...

With Chandler keeping an eye on him, he had no way to finish the offense on his own.
