There were plenty of great Clippers highlights from their destruction of the Sixers on Monday, and this one’s great in its own way -- it just didn’t happen to result in two points.

It’s a little unfair to say DeAndre Jordan “airballed” this alley-oop attempt, even though technically that’s exactly what happened. He underestimated his leaping ability just a bit, and was simply to far from the rim to get this particular throwdown to go -- although it sure looked that way to long-time Clippers play-by-play man Ralph Lawler, who believed Jordan actually converted this one at first glance.
