Houston Rockets v Golden State Warriors - Game Four
#3 Chris Paul

Stat line: 27 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal on 10-20 FG's

Similar to Harden, Chris Paul had a slow start as well. After one quarter, he had no points and just one assist in 10 minutes of action.

While Harden did a little bit of everything while scoring 30, Paul took on the scoring load. He put up 27 for the game and was a huge part of the team's second-quarter revival. Heading into the locker rooms, the Rockets had turned the tables on the hosts. CP3 and Harden were a huge reason why.

Paul scored 14 in the second quarter and 8 in the final quarter, basically leading the way when the Rockets had big runs. In a defense-first game, where both teams, were missing plenty, it's difficult to fault him for getting just 4 assists and stuffing the stat sheet a little bit more. Despite the early struggles, he finished the game by shooting 50% from the field.
