MEMPHIS >> Chris Paul found J.J. Redick on the right wing just as he curled. Redick drove into the paint off a few dribbles and scored a very important two points in the Clippers’ 99-88 win Friday night.
They didn’t matter much in the outcome, but that assist put Paul’s name atop the team’s record books.
With 11 assists against the Grizzlies, Paul now has 3,502 in his six seasons with the Clippers — more than anyone ever to wear a uniform in the franchise’s history.
Randy Smith was the previous record holder with 3,498.
“It’s cool, definitely cool, first of all, because Randy Smith is first in everything in Clipper history books,” Paul said after the game.
