Hornets point guard Chris Paul is approaching an NBA record for consecutive games with a steal, as he sits just 12 games shy of the watermark.

Former Spurs guard Alvin Robertson recorded a steal in 105 straight games in the mid-1980s.

Paul has a steal in 93 straight contests, having surpassed Michael Jordan's record (77) at the end of last season.

"He's got an uncanny ability to know where the ball is going," New Orleans coach Bryon Scott said.

Paul is averaging three steals per game this season.
