Paul was called for an offensive foul on the play, giving the ball to the Rockets.
Though that play did not go Paul’s way, CP3 had a nice game overall. He was 11-for-20 shooting with 26 points, six rebounds and five assists. The Thunder took advantage of James Harden fouling out and got the win. They now trail the Rockets 2-1 in the series.
