LOS ANGELES - Chris Paul will return to the court tonight for Game 3 against the Rockets.
Head coach Doc Rivers said Paul will be on a minutes restriction, but the point guard will make his first start since straining his hamstring six days ago in Game 7 against the Spurs.
“We really pushed him in some of the things he had to do with pick-and-roll and stuff like that,” Rivers said. “He just looked good. Still, it’s not the game. No matter what you do, it’s never the game.
