In the middle of their annihilation of the Houston Rockets, Chris Paul of the Oklahoma City Thunder nutmegged Isaiah Hartenstein en route to a smooth floater finish.

Hartenstein thought he had planted a good defensive stance. But Paul, one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game, has a deep arsenal of tricks that he utilizes to get by any form of defense.

In their dominant 113-92 win over the Rockets, Paul chipped in 18 points, six rebounds, and five assists. The Thunder spoiled Russell Westbrook's first game back. While the former MVP had a stellar stat line of 34 points, two rebounds, and five assists, it was Paul and the Thunder who were the main attraction.
