On Monday night, Paul George proclaimed the city of Indianapolis his in a win over the Western Conference’s 4th place Utah Jazz. After nailing a 3-pointer to end an 11-0 Jazz run, and put the Pacers up 3, PG13 put the game on ice with a mid-range dagger.
This led to him letting the city of Indianapolis and Bankers Life know whose city that “Naptown” is. It may have also been a reminder to Indy native and fellow All-Star, Gordon Hayward. Maybe it was a message that the 317 belongs to Paul George, the face of the Indiana Pacers, and not the face of Butler University’s Cinderella tournament runs that Indiana citizens hold so close to their hearts.
