He was the target of networks and globally the entire basketball world for three games, but this night Paul George responded. And if we will remove from this performance the pressure of a folded match after fifteen minutes, Paulo still wanted to remember what kind of aesthetic shooting he was.
He obviously didn’t become a crook overnight, probably it took him a few days to digest a bubble that had been ruthless with him. An electric meeting with his executioner of spring 2019 Damian Lillard, an increased presence on the networks but not necessarily on the floor, a game winner of Devin Booker on his welcoming forehead, statements of repeating in college, then a hardcore start to the series. to Mavs? Indeed, the cup was full and Paul George had to put the dots on the i’s and the loops on his g’s. At the same time recalling what he was once the kind of guy on the verge of knocking LeBron James off his throne in the East, also recalling that he was barely over a year ago on the MVP podium. .
Operation successful therefore, and recall validated by him after this Game 5 flared as we torch a kid in the nursery. 154 points for the Clippers, franchise record in Playoffs youpi, and especially this game of rebirth for PG13. 35 points at 12/18 shooting including 4/8 redeem parking and 7/7 throwing, all in 25 minutes and without making a millimeter too much. The feats Pat Beverley or this horny pony of JaMychal Green did it well, and it is therefore only towards the basket that Playoffs Piss will be once again the time of an evening Playoffs P. Tim Hardaway Jr. will have tried well to stop the beast by slapping him in the face in the third quarter, but between the circle and Paulo tonight it was the Dolce Vita, and nothing could get between the sniper and his target.
A perfect answer to its detractors, and above all an insoluble problem for the Mavs, unable to resist the double power Kawhi / PG. We are now waiting for the second Kiss-cool effect in Game 6, especially if you are fans of the Clippers, and we also logically await the declaration of a Paul George who will perhaps claim to have his place in the debate during the day. GOAT.
???? @Yg_Trece (35 PTS) and Kawhi Leonard (32 PTS) combine for 67 to put the @LAClippers up 3-2 vs. DAL!
