2. DeAndre Jordan is back.

After several games of horrendous play, DJ looked like his old self. He was playing stifling defense, altering shot after shot. His rotations, most of the game, were spot on. He finished with 2 blocks, but his presence was felt on defense.

As good as DJ was on defense, his offensive game was even better. He had 28 points, one shy of a career high, and only missed two shots all game. He created a bunch confusion for the Knicks when he rolled to the basket.
