PAUL'S 'MASTERCLASS'
Chris Paul recorded a double-double on Monday with 15 points and 12 assists in the Warriors' 121-116 victory over the Houston Rockets. Paul was the primary playmaker for the Dubs' offense and dished out 10 assists before committing his first and only turnover. 

"He controlled the tempo and the action, trying to get us organized offensively," Stephen Curry said postgame. "It was a master class of him reading the flow."

Klay Thompson scored a season-high 20 points in the contest, including 12 in the first quarter and Paul assisted on five of his seven baskets, looking for the Splash Brother early and often.

"Every time he [Thompson] shoots it, I think it is going in," Paul said. "He is a big part of our team and everything that we do…every time that I am pushing the ball up the court, I am looking for him.”
