Chris Paul and the Oklahoma City Thunder were trailing the Houston Rockets by six points with three and a half minutes to go in what could have been their final game of the season. What followed next was vintage CP3 at his best.

With Robert Covington on him, a former NBA All-Defensive First Team player, Paul drilled back-to-back 3-pointers to tie up the game. Paul later hit two clutch free throws to put the Thunder up for good with 13.1 seconds left in the game.

Paul scored 28 points, including 15 alone in the fourth quarter, to lead the Thunder to the 104-100 victory on Monday and force Game 7 on Wednesday night. He shot 10-of-20 from the field and made 3-of-6 from 3-point range with each triple coming in the final period.

The Thunder trailed by as many as nine points in the third quarter but went on a 16-3 run to come back and take the lead. After struggling mightily in Game 5, Thunder rookie Luguentz Dort went on a personal 8-0 run to end the third period as he finished with 13 points in the contest.

Dort got into early foul trouble in the first quarter after getting whistled three times in the period. He sat for the entire second quarter before he returned with 10 points alone in the third period. Instead of getting down on himself, he came back and helped the Thunder stay alive.

The Thunder have emerged as the best team in crunch-time situations this season and the group once again proved that they are not done until the final buzzer. Paul & Co. will need to replicate that magic one more time to advance to the second round and play the Los Angeles Lakers.
