Chris Paul: Ruled out for Game 6

Paul tweaked his troublesome right hamstring with just under a minute left in
Thursday’s Game 5 win, and while he was able to walk off the court under his own
power, he was visibly hampered. The fact that Houston has already ruled him out
well in advance of Game 6 isn’t the most encouraging sign, but Paul will now set
his sights on a potential Game 7 return, should the Rockets fall in Game 6. In
Paul’s absence, expect Eric Gordon to take on a much larger offensive burden.
