DeAndre Jordan brushed off the Clippers' heartbreaking loss with relative ease on Monday.
The Los Angeles center was seen out and about partying after the Thunder handed the Clippers a 100-99 loss. The defeat came after Kevin Durant hit a go-ahead shot for Oklahoma City with five seconds left and fended off Chris Paul's attempt at the game-winner.

Turns out, Jordan wasn't too banged up about it, as he was seen out partying with the opponent after the game.
The Clippers star attended Henry's in Hollywood after the game along with Durant, Russell Westbrook, Nick Collison and Steve Novak, according to TMZ Sports. Perhaps the two-time NBA rebounding leader needs a change of scenery.

During the offseason, Jordan was targeted by many teams in free agency, including the Mavericks, who he verbally agreed to sign with on a four-year, $80 million pact. The 27-year-old then spurned Mark Cuban and Dallas by backing out and agreeing to re-sign with the Clippers on a four-year, $88 million deal.
Jordan now won't hit unrestricted free agency until 2019, but perhaps his partying with another team suggests he'll want out sooner than that. After all, he was all set to defect from Los Angeles for Dallas until team brass sat down with him and didn't leave until a new deal was ironed out.
Maybe Jordan is just looking for tough love at this stage in his career, the kind that was provided by Durant in the lead-up to their game on Monday. When talking about big men who have trouble shooting free throws, Durant said if they don't want to get hacked, they need to learn how to shoot.
Kevin Durant didn't mince words about the Hack-a strategy: "If you don't want to get hacked then work on your f---ing free throws."

Jordan is a 39 percent free throw shooter, so he certainly fell into that category. If the comments, or even the loss, annoyed him, the 6-foot-11 center certainly shook it off by partying.
