Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner entered the night as the league's leading shot blocker at 2.87 shots turned away on a nightly basis. It's not often that opposing players are able to dunk in his general vicinity, but that's exactly what New York Knicks center DeAndre Jordan got to do during the second quarter of Tuesday's eventual loss to Indiana.

DeAndre Jordan knows a thing or two about blocking shots himself, having averaged 1.7 blocks per game throughout his career. But he also seemed to know that there was no chance Turner was recovering in time to challenge him at the rim, taking the chance to hammer home the jam.

There had previously been speculation that the Knicks would buyout Jordan's contract after acquiring him from the Dallas Mavericks in the Kristaps Porzingis deal. However, the organization has been vocal in saying that'll retain his starting role, allowing rookie (and fellow block artist) Mitchell Robinson to come off the bench.

After recording 12 points and 16 boards against the Pacers, Jordan has now recorded a double-double in nine of his 12 games with New York.

Part of being a shot blocker is having to occasionally admit defeat. After Myles Turner missed out on the rebound (he eventually came one board shy of a double-double), there was no hope of denying Jordan.

Indiana's center did collect a pair of blocks, giving him six consecutive games with multiple shots swatted to his credit. Maybe most importantly, Turner's Pacers picked up their fourth win in four tries versus the Knicks this season.
