Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon hit a tough 3-pointer to end the first half of Monday's Game 6 against the Oklahoma City Thunder despite Chris Paul being right in his face.

Eric Gordon and the Rockets are trying to send the Thunder home on Monday. With a win, Houston would advance to the second round of the playoffs and face LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers.

It's good to see Gordon hitting shots from deep. He's been sort of iffy from beyond the arc since returning from his ankle injury.

For the Rockets to ultimately win the title, Houston will need Gordon to be the team's third 20-point scorer behind James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
