Player to watch: Chris Paul, Clippers

Blake Griffin is out injured, but the 12th-year pro just keeps going, all the way to 10th place on the NBA's all-time assists list. The only players who reached 8,000 assists in their careers faster than Paul were John Stockton, Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson.

VOICES
