Watch: Jordan catches Plumlee napping, drives for one-handed cram
Jaime Valdez / USA TODAY Sports
When DeAndre Jordan dunks, it's usually on the receiving end of an alley-oop lob.
Jordan isn't really known for making things happen in space. He typically can't do much when he has the ball more than a few feet from the hoop. But when he caught it at the 3-point line Wednesday night and noticed his defender, Mason Plumlee, was playing about 20 feet off him and turned in the opposite direction, he saw an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
Jordan drove, skied, and posterized the late-recovering Plumlee with a Statue of Liberty dunk.
