In a phenomenal game, the New Orleans Pelicans came up with a huge victory playing at home against the Los Angeles Clippers. An outstanding team effort to surpass one of the league's best squads, with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard as their main stars. Herbert Jones continues to play superb defense, and this sequence serves as the best evidence.
This isn't the first time that Herb Jones, the Pelicans' 25-year-old small forward makes a play like this. In fact, Jones has several highlights compilations in which he can be seen flying all across the court, blocking long distance shots. His speed and his jumping skills are remarkable, making him really tough to beat, even if the shooter is wide open.
Willie Green, Pelicans' head coach, adressed this play and praised his man in the press conference after winning the game:
"That block was incredible. I didn't even know he could get to it...It looked like a wide open three and Herb comes out of nowhere. Herb has been one of the more consistent, steady, high character players all season long. He was playing through a bump bruise..To have him in our squad is a true blessing. They just dont make a lot of guys like him... He is definitely First Team All Defense."
