The All-Stars

A-. James Harden played at a high level as always. However, he struggled with his shooting for most of the game. He didn’t hit a 3-pointer until the end of the 3rd quarter when he hit three in a row.<br /> The Pacers have always had Harden’s number shooting wise as they are the team that the Beard has the lowest career shooting percentage against. Still, he contributed to the game in many other ways and assured that the Rockets walked out of their with a victory. He had 29 points to go along with 10 assists and 8 rebounds. He also committed just one turnover. <a rel=. SG. Houston Rockets. JAMES HARDEN

Chris Paul played better than his stats may look. He finished with 13 points, 6 rebounds & 7 assists. While those stats do not stand out, the way he led the second team on offense was incredible. While he didn’t have any steals on defense, he still played well on that end of the court. He also only had one turnover, like James Harden.<br /> CP3 found some efficiency tonight after struggling to score the last two games. He shot 5/8 from the floor and 2/3 from downtown. He is perfectly content to run the offense and have Harden get the stats, most of the time.. PG. Houston Rockets. CHRIS PAUL. B+
