Stat line: 29 points, 21 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and a block on 63.1 % shooting

Clint Capela is one of the best Centers in the league today and it is remarkable how he has gotten there in such a small period of time. The center has signed a five-year, $90 million contract extension with the Rockets in the offseason.

This season, he is averaging career-high numbers to go along with a double-double. Capela, who is one of the best shot-blockers in the game has been causing a lot of trouble to the opposition team offense in the paint.

Capela was huge against the Warriors and took care of business in the paint as he used his body to register several dunks. Draymond had a tough time going up against Capela and this was the 24-year-old's second straight double-double.
