I don't know what shocked me more - the Clippers beating the Thunder in OKC, or the Kobe-less Lakers winning in 'San Anton'.

 

After Paul picked himself off the ground, he sat on the bench during a timeout as Vinny Del Negro drew up a play. After the huddle broke, Paul gathered Del Negro and the coaches together for a quick huddle as if to say, “With all due respect to whatever you just said, I’m doing whatever I have to do to win.”

 

Every Thunder player on the court knew Paul would take the last shot for Clippers. As Paul dribbled the ball all the way down to two seconds on the shot clock and 10 seconds remaining in the game, they all seemingly braced themselves for the inevitable. Every last one of them was within arm’s length of Paul as he drove past them and scored what would be the game-winning basket to give the Clippers a 100-98 win.

 

Paul finished with a game-high 31 points, six rebounds and four assists; even more impressively, he scored 24 points in the second half and 11 points in the fourth quarter, hitting five of six shots in the final period. This season, in the last five minutes of games with the Clippers within five points, Paul is third in the NBA with 119 points. He is only behind Kobe Bryant and Durant in such situations. Despite being down by double-digits in the second half for the second consecutive road game, he would not let the team be denied, as it was Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, when they came back from a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter only to lose.

Paul wills the Clippers to their biggest win

 

CP3 is one sick insane sun of a gun!!
