Feel the Heat:

Oklahoma City came off of a historic month of January and kept the ball rolling with 118-102 win over Miami on Feb. 2. Paul George had his fingerprints all over the win, dropping 43 points on 14-23 shooting. He also went 10-16 from behind the arc and had seven rebounds with five assists and two steals.

Other than George, it was a good win for the team as a whole. Russell Westbrook finished with another triple-double, Dennis Schroder scored 28 points off the bench and Steven Adams earned a hard-fought 13 points.

Winning on the road is tough in the NBA, so getting the victory in dominating fashion was a good feeling. It was the perfect way to start the new month for Oklahoma City.
