What really makes him special is the assist to turnover ratio. Which head coach Monty Williams described as “That’s just Chris” referring to the last two games where Paul recording 27 assist and 1 turnover. The one turnover? A questionable carrying call that the refs are trying to hamper down on this season.
Reaching 9 assist in every game this season, the “Point God” dish out 12 last night as well as dropping 15 points, 8 boards and 3 steals.
Back to the Points…
