DeAndre Jordan responds to rare playing time with a vintage performance in a Pelicans victory

After a vintage performance, New Orleans Pelicans center DeAndre Jordan was looking forward to getting home and enjoying a glass of wine. “I'll probably have some Bordeaux tonight,” Jordan said after grabbing 15 rebounds and blocking four shots in a 126-111 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. It would have been easy for the casual basketball fan to forget about the 37-year-old Jordan, who has spent nearly all of his 18th NBA season on the bench.
