During an interview soon after the game, Russell Westbrook was asked about Paul George’s performance during the last game. Russell replied that when Paul George is at his best, no one can beat his team.
“When did you know Paul George had it going?” the reporter asked during the post-game interview.
“When he woke up this morning… Listen, when PG’s at his best, not too many teams can beat us and when he’s aggressive, miss or making shots, he’s a different player.” Westbrook said during the interview.
