December 16th versus Chicago Bulls:
In a game that will inevitably land in a list of top comeback efforts, the Thunder roared back from trailing by 26 points. Paul’s final frame was arguably his best of the season as he dropped 19 points on the Bulls, and hit five 3-pointers in a row.
The Clutch Time King was on full display with his teammates only accounting for eight of the 27 fourth-quarter points the Thunder scored in the final frame and CP3 assisted on all but an SGA two-point shot and Adams free throw (or three points).

CP3 finished with a double-double of 30 points and 10 rebounds missing out on the triple-double by two assists (8 assists) and connected on six of his eight 3-pointers.
December 22nd versus Los Angeles Clippers:
An overall game from the veteran as he managed the game and provided leadership. Trailing by six points as the third quarter neared completion he hit a critical 3-point shot to narrow the margin entering the final frame. In the victory, Paul delivered 12 points, seven rebounds, and six assists.
