Chris Paul Says He 'Was A Lot Better Defensively' In Game 3 Win
Chris Paul noted the improvements he made in the Oklahoma City Thunder\'s 119-107 overtime win versus the Houston Rockets in game 3.
The Thunder are down 2-1 in the series.
\"I think I needed to play with better pace. Be more aggressive. Take shots when they\'re there. And be better defensively. ... I gave up a lot of corner 3s, a lot of defensive assignments. Aside from the shots, I think I was a lot better defensively,\" said Paul of how he approached game 3.
Paul finished the game with 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Bill Donovan credited the Thunder\'s improved spacing on pick and rolls for Paul\'s game.
\"Chris is the master at manipulating pick-and-rolls. When we get the floor in a fashion against them that is not spaced correctly, it\'s hard to play in pick-and-rolls because they\'re switching everything. Tonight I thought we had better spacing and were able to move a little freer.\"
