Paul George: Knew Russell Westbrook, James Harden pairing with Rockets would work

PLAYA VISTA, Calif. -- Paul George and Russell Westbrook might've gone their separate ways but George immediately thought his former teammate would fit in just fine with James Harden.

Not long after George worked a trade out with the Oklahoma City Thunder to go back home and play for the LA Clippers, the All-Star watched Westbrook land with the Houston Rockets to join forces with his friend Harden.

As George plays against Westbrook for the first time since both departed OKC after two seasons together, George says he never had any doubts about how Westbrook would work with Harden.
