Ja Morant Lame After Injury in Game 3 Against Golden State (From Twitter)

Chris Paul recorded a fantastic regular season, opening the playoffs with a storm, but tonight (Sunday through Monday) experienced a not-so-easy evening.

It started with his Phoenix's 111: 101 loss to Dallas, which set up a 2-2 draw in the series after a very weak game by the veteran quarterback, who settled for just 5 points.

The sequel also included an unusual incident in the stands, between Paul's family members and a violent Dallas fan.



According to ESPN, the fan in question verbally harassed and even physically assaulted Paul's mother and his wife and children who also came to support him at the game in Texas.

Another curse fan sitting next to Paul's wife cursed at her over and over, while her children watched in fear of what was happening.

Even when she tried to move to another seat, the same fan followed her in the aisle and kept cursing.



Paul was documented trying to reach the fans in question at the end of the game, and then demands from the security guards instead to keep them away.

Dallas has already managed to locate these fans and kept them away until further notice, but agitated Paul has not calmed down.



"The players are fined for things they say to the fans, but fans are allowed to get their hands on our families. Z * n on that," Paul tweeted after a while.

This is one of many incidents in recent times.

Just in the playoffs, Drymond Green waved a triple finger at Memphis fans who cursed him and was fined $ 25,000, and Joel Ambide confronted and criticized Toronto fans who harassed him in one of the games in the first round.

Luka Doncic, too, almost physically confronted a Phoenix fan who insulted him on his way to the locker room after the second game in the series.



Either way, Chris Paul's frustration started even earlier, when he was stopped on just 5 points, as mentioned, and received just 23 minutes after coming out on 6 offenses.

It was the first time in CP3's long career that he finishes a playoff game with more offenses than points.



"It's crazy. .

Paul himself is considered an expert in extortion offenses, but this time he has often fallen victim to tricks he himself is used to doing.

In the final seconds of the first half he tried to take an offensive rebound, and Luka Doncic took advantage of that to put the body in front of him and squeeze out a fourth offense at a critical moment.



"I saw him jump for a rebound and I was quite surprised. He asked me after the offense was whistled if he really pushed me so hard I fell like that, and I replied, 'No' it was not so strong, but it was a smart move. 'He admitted I was right. "Doncic told of the dialogue between them, during which Paul was seen complaining to Doncic about impersonation, and Doncic replied:"

The Offense Extortion Wizard got involved in the offenses himself.

One thing is clear: to go all the way, the Suns need Paul on the hardwood floor as much as possible.

Further proof of this came in the minutes he was forced to sit on the bench tonight, during which Phoenix was only 42 percent accurate from the field and 27 percent from the three (compared to 53 percent from the field and 50 percent from the three when he was on the floor).



"I'm sure for the next game Chris will come differently. We will all come differently, and we will play the Phoenix Suns basketball," declared Devin Booker who was the bright spot for the Suns with 35 points.

"I've played in something like 500 NBA games so far, and I've never seen a refereeing show like the one there was today. It was a completely different game, from the beginning. "We have to concentrate on our basketball, without thinking about whether the referees are against us or not. Every player on our team has been in worse situations than we are in now."

Scares the rivalry again.

And while Chris Paul was suffering, James Harden was finally back to enjoying himself.

The 31 points he sniped marched Philadelphia to a 108-116 victory over Miami that set up a 2-2 draw in the series between them, and mentioned that on a given evening he was still capable of being the deadliest scorer ever.

Harden had 16 points in the final quarter alone, and he sniped 6 threes - the most since moving to the Sixers in a trade three months ago.

His aggressiveness is reflected in 18 shots from the field and 10 shots from the penalty spot, his most in the current playoffs.



"We get more confidence as the series progresses," Harden said.

"Obviously Joel Ambide's return helped us. We feel better when he's on the field, and it's clear why - he's the NBA MVP."



Harden explained that "I just took what the defense gave me. These are the same shots I always take, this time I just scored them. Nothing changed for me, except that I started scoring."

Coach Philly Doc Rivers actually recognized the differences, saying "he went left many times, which is something he has not done so much before. We will have to decipher it and find ways to use it more, because today was unstoppable. He scored everything, in front of every guard. "He did not care at all who was in front of him. He is a player who is very difficult to stop."



Players in the NBA also praised Harden, and Andre Iguodala tweeted: "He silences the critics."

Festus Azili also tweeted: "You all talk about how complete James Harden is, today he shows we have a lot more to give."
