Chris Paul has had an up-and-down start to his Oklahoma City Thunder career so far, but he certainly looked like the CP3 of old against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.

Tied at 107 after four quarters, the Thunder and Sixers game went to overtime at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

With the Thunder up by eight with under two minutes left in OT, Paul took control and sealed the win for his team. The nine-time All-Star sized up defender Furkan Korkmaz and calmly stopped on a dime before uncorking a perimeter jumper that iced the 127-119 win for OKC.

The home team managed to outscore the visitors 20-12 in the extra period.

Paul finished with a season-high 27 points, to go along with eight rebounds and five assists. Prior to the game, the 34-year-old guard was averaging 15.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in 29 minutes per game.
