Chris Paul makes Warriors history as a passer, shows life as a scorer

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:49:56 GMT

DETROIT — The Warriors wanted more structure and stability off the bench this year. Through eight games, Chris Paul has done just that.His six assists and zero turnovers in the Warriors’ 120-109 win over the Pistons on Monday night in Detroit just added to what’s been near perfect passing in his debut with Golden State. He has 62 assists and six turnovers and has tallied 31 assists since his last turnover, the longest streak of assists without a turnover by a Warriors player in the regular season since at least 1997-98 (when these stats were made available), according to Elias Sports Bureau.Even though Paul says life on the bench is still “an adjustment,” his sacrifice is paying off. The Warriors bench is outscoring opponents’ benches 331-224. Until his season-high 17-point game in Monday’s win, most of that scoring didn’t include Paul — who already has his legacy cemented as one of the NBA’s premier jump shooters of this e...
