On fire from 3-point range, Paul George flirted with the franchise record
« He was ‘scared’, he didn’t want to make ten threes, but it doesn’t matter », chambre Tirese Mackey after praising the performance Paul George face auk Bucks. The Sixers guard knew his franchise record was on the line.
Another 3-pointer from his teammate and the record fell. The author of three awarded baskets in the first period, “PG” experienced serious heat in the third quarter: four missiles behind the line at 7m25!
At this stage of the game, the Sixers have already made more 3-pointers than they did during their trip to Charlotte, finishing with a 37-point loss on 9/30 from distance. Neither Paul George nor Joel Embiid played that night.
« Watching them last night in Charlotte, they looked tired. And obviously there was everything that happened that day: waiting for the plane, waiting for take off, arriving super late. Then you think you’re going to play the game at 7:00 p.m., when it moves to 3:00 p.m. So they were tired », again sets up the winger.
Rebooting the tired Sickers
To better turn the page of this terrible defeat, “PG” wanted ” provide additional energy » to his teammates. ” If I could be a driving force and boost the morale of the team, that was my whole state of mind in this match. »
A successful operation, as he made two more game-winning baskets in the fourth quarter, including the final one in the corner, although it was heavily contested by Kyle Kuzma. Paul George came close to his season high with 32 points on 11/21 shooting, including 9/15 from 3-point range, with 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. In doing so, he tied the franchise record for triples, also held by Tyrese Maxey (2022), Danny Green (2021) and Dana Barros (1995).
« I was a bit greedy at the end of the match, trying to get to ten. Kyle (Lowry) was behind me the whole fourth quarter trying to get me to put up two more. But these things happen when everything is aligned ” said the winger, whose second game of the season was 30 points or more, after a best of 35 in Atlanta in mid-December.
But every time he’s faced the Bucks this season, he’s gone over the 20-point mark. The Doc Rivers “effect”? ” I only know Doc, his defense systems, his system announcements, I know what he’s looking at, what he’s looking for and how he’s going to defend me. But no, nothing more than that. Right now I feel like I’m having the best days in terms of how my body is responding “, concludes the former Clippers player.
