Paul had 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 99-95 loss to Dallas.
The veteran floor general turned back time and was impressive despite the loss, shooting efficiently from the field and dishing out double-digit dimes for the third straight game since returning from a seven-game absence due to a hip injury. Paul has double-doubles in all three outings since returning to the court, shooting 53.5 percent from the field in that span.
