Last night, DeAndre Jordan replaced Jarrett Allen with 8:38 left in the fourth quarter. Let's examine the plays he made to close out the game.

Typical drop coverage here from DJ, easily allowing a pull-up midrange.
Here, Jordan contests Valanciunas well in the post, forcing a fadeaway that ultimately misses.
Solid defense here too from Jordan, forcing a miss from Anderson who admittedly isn't exactly challenging to keep up with laterally.
This is just unacceptable. Jordan's lack of awareness in transition has him facing his own basket and completely looking away from the ball and he ultimately screens his own teammates giving Memphis an easy score.
More bad pick-and-roll defense from DJ. He's giving Brooks wide open opportunities here.
