The Clippers extended their win streak to five behind starting guards J.J. Redick (22 points) and Chris Paul (18 points), but it was the bench that fueled a fourth-quarter surge, with reserve forward Marreese Speights scoring all 13 of his points in the final quarter. Here are five things we learned from their 105-96 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night:
1. DeAndre Jordan is, as Orlando Coach Frank Vogel described him after the game, “a beast.” The 6-foot-11, 265-pound center grabbed 20 rebounds, eight on the offensive end, and blocked three shots, sending Elfrid Payton’s attempt into the second row behind the basket in the third quarter.
