6 years agoOklahoma City Thunder small/power forward Paul George wasn’t going to let teammate Russell Westbrook have all of the triple-double fun, as George logged his third career triple-double during Monday’s victory over the Portland Trail Blazers with 47 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to his credit. George tied his season high with the 47-point outburst, giving him six games this season above the 40-point threshold. The All-Star logged 43 minutes and shot 15-for-26 from the field overall, knocking down eight threes to help lead his team to victory. Firmly in the MVP conversation stemming from performances such as Monday, George wraps up the first half of the season Thursday against New Orleans.--Jesse Borek
