The Houston Rockets traded Chris Paul to the Oklahoma City Thunder (in the Russell Westbrook deal) over the offseason, and Paul put on a show against his former team on Thursday night. Paul had 18 points, six rebounds, five assists, and four steals in the Thunder’s 113-92 win over the Rockets.
And CP3 added an absolutely filthy, streeball-esque highlight in the fourth quarter, when he nutmegged Houston’s Isaiah Hartenstein before sinking a floater.
Cp3 turns 35 in May, but the nine-time All-Star still has plenty of skill and tricks up his sleeve. He’s played a big part in the surprising Thunder winning 11 of their last 13 games.
