Chris Paul orchestrates another historic OKC Thunder triumph:
It doesn’t matter how many times you see Paul will his team to a win or bring his clutch mastery to a game, it always seems to amaze.
On December 16th against the Chicago Bulls, CP3 produced a performance for the books as the OKC Thunder also added another page to their historic feats.
The Thunder were trailing by 26 points against the Bulls at home and the chance of them pulling away with a win didn’t look very good. But as we witnessed with Paul anything is possible.
After scoring 11 points in the first three quarters, CP3 erupted in the fourth quarter for 19 points and five consecutive 3-pointers.

He was fired up, his teammates were fired up and everyone in Chesapeake Energy Arena was pumped. What they were seeing had only ever been done once in Thunder history. OKC went on to tie the largest comeback in franchise history of 26 points which was achieved last February against the Rockets. It was also their greatest comeback ever at home.
Paul recorded a total of 30 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, and six 3-pointers. The win also saw him join NBA great John Stockon as only the second player to reach 18,000 points, 9,000 assists, and 2000 steals.
