Wednesday 12 December 2018 11:32, UK
Chris Paul supplied a triple-double to help the Houston Rockets to a 111-104 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, ending his team's three-game losing skid.
Paul shot poorly (2-of-12 from the field) but provided 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to pace the Rockets to their first win since December 2.
'CP3' was at his mesmeric best in the opening quarter, teasing Portland's defense before setting up team-mates Gerald Green and Danuel House for three-pointers.
With Houston edging in front in the fourth quarter, Paul connected with a fadeaway jump shot from mid-range to extend the lead to seven points. He then found center Clint Capela with a delightful lofted pass for an alley-oop dunk before sealing the win at the free throw line.
