A+. . SF. Oklahoma City Thunder. PAUL GEORGE

Often awards are built around narratives and the timing of when the performances occur. In Paul George’s case he’s consistently been bringing his A plus game this season, but with the Thunder winning and decisively so you have to wonder if his name is going to be the one on pundits lips come season end.

George set a new OKC Thunder record scoring 10 triples in the game. He had a game high 43 points adding seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and was a gaudy plus +28.

He shot 10 of 16 from deep, 14 of 23 from the field and 5 of 6 from the charity stripe. For those 50-40-90 enthusiasts, that line translates into 60-62.5 and just shy of the 90 percential with an 83.3 free throw rate.
