Nicolas Batum · At 36 years old and in his remarkable 18th NBA season, Nicolas Batum continues to showcase the defensive awareness that has made him such a valuable veteran presence. With Phoenix pushing the pace in transition and threatening to extend their lead, the LA Clippers forward reads Dillon Brooks' approach perfectly and times his contest to perfection.
