“Chris Paul had a little too much of LeBron James’ Lobos Tequila before Game 3”: Nick Wright trolls the Point God for a subpar performance on his birthday leading to a Suns’ loss vs Mavs

Chris Paul had a mediocre performance on his birthday, recording a 12/7/4 stat line along with 7 turnovers resulting in the Suns’ Game 3 loss against the Mavericks.

Luka Doncic elevated his game to a different level altogether with Game 3 of the Suns–Mavericks series being played at the American Airlines Center. Putting up 26 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 steals, Chris Paul and co. simply couldn’t stop the Slovenian prodigy from asserting his dominance in the clash.

Monty Williams’ boys didn’t play the elite level of team basketball they have been playing all season long. In fact, all the starters combined for an awful plus-minus of -41. And it was CP3 who had the most forgettable performance of this postseason, resulting in Dallas grabbing a much-needed 103-94 Game 3 win.

The birthday boy, who had only 2 assists and 7 turnovers in the first two periods, finished the night with a subpar stat line – 12 points. 7 rebounds, and 4 assists on 55.6% shooting from the field.

As soon as Paul’s stats went viral on social media, NBA Twitter exploded the 37-year-old for his subpar outing.

Analyst Nick Wright also commented on Chris’ game, hilariously stating that the veteran guard drank too much Tequilla with LeBron James during his pre-birthday celebrations.

With Luka heating up, Chirs Paul can’t afford to have such lackluster performances throughout the remainder of the series.
