Players of The Night: Chris Paul Drops 41 and James Harden 51[Video]

April Fool’s Day saw two big offensive explosion games in the NBA.

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored a career-high 51 points Wednesday in a 115-111 win over the  Sacramento Kings.  This is the MVP candidate’s second 50-point game this season. Harden feasted on the three point line making 8 of 9 threes.

 

Clippers point guard Chris Paul bounced back from being crossed over by Steph Curry Tuesday night. CP3 dropped a crazy double-double on the Portland Trailblazers Wednesday. Paul scored 41 points, had 17 assists, five rebounds and 4 steals in the Clippers win.

Lebron even shouted out CP3 Thursday morning.
