Chris Paul has said that he needs to be more aggressive at the start of games for the Los Angeles Clippers.

The point guard scored 26 points during the team's 110-101 win over the Sacramento Kings last night.

The 28-year-old told reporters: "I came out a little slow and tried to let the game develop, but I can't be that way. I have to be more aggressive. Once I got more aggressive, that opened up things for everybody.

"I'm one of those people that let my teammates get me going, and I need that. [Coach] Doc [Rivers] talks to me about it but it's my teammates that help me."

The Clippers face the Houston Rockets on Monday.
