From the get-go Chris Paul seemed to have a different energy, dancing with the ball, hitting threes, and even toying with defenders.
Chris Paul finished the night with 32 points and 11 assists and was a +20 on the floor for Houston.
Paul had two buzzer beaters against Brooklyn, one to end the first half and another to end the third quarter.
Paul was not the only player who had a strong showing last night, Clint Capela also stepped up with 22 points and 13 rebounds as did Carmelo Anthony who finished with 28 points on an efficient 75% shooting from the field.
