I have no idea if Paul taking the ball more often helped or it was just one of those nights. But despite being down the entire game Harden only had 3 TOs tonight while Paul had 1. If anything, perhaps Paul being on this team can limit the unforced TOs by Harden and give him fresh legs in the second half.
IMO, it's a credit to our defense. We forced a LOT of turnovers, dove hard for loose balls and rebounds.
