DeAndre Jordan continued his torrid shooting for the Los Angeles Clippers making all seven of his shots -- all dunks -- in a 116-88 rout of the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Jordan scored 20 points to help the Clippers hand the Knicks their most lopsided defeat of the season. He did see his league-leading streak of double-doubles end at 11 games as he finished with eight rebounds.

Jordan also got his eighth technical foul of the season after tangling with Knicks starting center Robin Lopez, who was ejected from the game.

Jordan had come to teammate Chris Paul's defense after Lopez smacked the Clippers point guard in the mouth.

"Chris is the smallest dude on the floor," Jordan said of his retaliatory shove of Lopez. "So we have to protect him." — Agence France-Presse
