DeAndre Jordan air-balled back-to-back free throws and it wasn't even close

During a game that went from bad to disastrous for the Los Angeles Clippers, DeAndre Jordan's inability to make free throws -- or even come close to the rim -- served as a bit of comic relief on Monday night:

Jordan air-balling a free throw or two? That's become almost a nightly occurrence now.

Jordan air-balling back-to-back free throws? Now that's rare.

Sadly, this was one of the brighter parts of the Clippers' tragic evening, as they lost Game 4 to tie their series with the Blazers at 2-2. More importantly, of course, they likely lost Chris Paul for the rest of playoffs -- and Blake Griffin could be hobbled the rest of the way, too.

After it appeared like the Clippers had more than a puncher's chance to take down the Steph Curry-less Warriors, them making it out of the first round might be in jeopardy.
