Chris Paul and the Houston Rockets were having none of his former Los Angeles Clippers team on the road Wednesday night.

Already up 99-73 late in the third quarter, Paul took an inbounds pass and nailed a Stephen Curry-like 61-foot three-point shot as the buzzer sounded.

Talk about giving it some English off the backboard. Paul hoisted up the desperation shot like it was nothing. A total of 61 feet later, and his prayer was answered.

The All-Star point guard finished the first three stanzas with 29 points, four rebounds and seven assists.

His former fans inside the Staples Center in Southern California certainly were not appreciative of this effort.
