It has to be extremely tough for Paul and other players with wives and kids to be away from their families for so long. The advancement in technology has allowed guys to do video calls while staying in the bubble, but nothing can replace human touch and interaction.

Paul played 27 minutes versus the Jazz. He finished with 18 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, as the Thunder defeated Utah by a final score of 110-94. OKC has the same record as the Houston Rockets (41-24), an impressive feat considering the Rockets traded Paul to the Thunder for Russell Westbrook last summer.

Entering Saturday's game against the Jazz, Paul was averaging 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.8 assists. He has meshed very well with Thunder rising star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Both guys are hounds on both ends of the court and OKC has surrounded them with solid role players in Steven Adams, Dennis Schroder, Andre Roberson and Nerlens Noel — veterans who know how to get it done when it counts the most.

Chris Paul and the Thunder's next game is on Monday against the Denver Nuggets.
