LOS ANGELES (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – It’s been a rough week for the Miami Heat.

With DeAndre Jordan missing his first game in almost five years, backup center Cole Aldrich treated it as just another day at the office.

“It was like any other game,” Aldrich said matter-of-factly after the Los Angeles Clippers blitzed the Miami 104-90 Wednesday night at Staples Center. “Just go in there, play hard and try to find a way to get a win tonight.”

The 6-foot-11 Aldrich, who started for Jordan, scored a season-high 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds, sparking the Clippers to their 10th consecutive victory.
