OKC Thunder: 35 moments in honor of Chris Paul’s 35th birthday

November 18th and 19th versus the LA clubs:

Although the back-to-back sets at the Staples Center both resulted in losses, Paul was at his scrappy best collecting four steals in each match. Two points and five points were the difference versus the Clippers and Lakers.

Nerlens Noel was the recipient of one of the sweetest dimes CP3 dished this season (6:02 of video).

Again, it would be great to see how the Thunder would’ve performed in these same matches had the games been played after the team developed their chemistry and clutch time mastery.

November 25th at the Golden State Warriors:

With 15 games completed the Thunder had yet to deliver a victory on the road in their six matches. This was the game where OKC changed that dynamic with another clutch time victory.

Paul was critical to the win producing 20 points, seven rebounds, five assists, a steal and he hit four of eight 3-pointers. Two of those triples came at critical moments in the game as the Warriors had built a double-digit lead of 12 points. CP3 hits a three to cut the deficit to 50-59 and then hits a half-court shot at the buzzer to narrow the gap to 53-59 (4:43 of the video above)
