January 18th versus Portland Trail Blazers:

In an offensive explosion, the vet reminded everyone how easily he can take over a match. He led the team in scoring with 30 points adding four rebounds, seven assists, and connected on three of five perimeter shots.

January 20th at Houston Rockets:

Following the victory over the Rockets at Chesapeake Energy Arena the crew hit the road but netted the same result at the Toyota Center to take the season series.

Paul was spectacular again scoring 28 points, grabbing eight rebounds, dishing three dimes, collected two steals, blocked a shot, and hit four of his eight 3-point attempts.

January 24th at Atlanta Hawks:

A complete-game effort of 18 points, six rebounds, five assists, and a steal in a match the OKC Thunder won by 29 points.

Early on the teams played a close match and with 4.3 seconds remaining in the first quarter, the game was knotted at 30. Paul illustrated the perfect closeout to the quarter streaking down the court and delivering a pull-up 3-pointer with a hand in his face to give the Thunder the lead (1:05 of video).

OKC never trailed the match again.

Notably, this was the first game of a back-to-back set that played out versus the Wolves the next night. Paul collected a double-double of 25 points and 10 assists in that victory.
