LeBron James isn't just the only 35+ player in the NBA who's been constantly disrespecting Father Time this season. There's also Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul. The future Hall of Famer has simply been phenomenal as the anchor of his team's attack. Paul, who is turning 37 in May, added to his long list of accomplishments in his NBA career with a pair of dazzling performances against the Utah Jazz over the past three days.
Via Stats By STATS:
Chris Paul of the @Suns scored 15 points in the 4th quarter against the Jazz on Monday. He did the same thing against them tonight. He's the only NBA player in the last 20 seasons to score 15+ points in the 4th quarter against the same opponent 2 games in a row (regular season).
The Suns are on an eight-game unbeaten streak, with the last two of their wins coming at the expense of the Jazz, thank in large part to the exploits of CP3 in the final periods of those contests. In the Suns' 115-109 home win over Utah last Monday, Paul scored 15 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter. Then on Wednesday, he scattered 15 of his 21 points in the final frame again to pull off something not seen in the NBA in two decades.
The Jazz must be so relieved that they won't be facing Paul again any time soon.
