ATLANTA – Paul George learned at a very young age in the NBA how to take the more challenging, but far more rewarding road when it comes to defense on the perimeter. As George has continued to lead in Oklahoma City, his personality has helped the Thunder place itself in the top defensive spot in the league through being able to do all the dirty work required on each possession.
As the Thunder hits the road again for a quick one-game trip to Atlanta to face the Hawks, it wants to continue shoring up some defensive slippage that cropped up last week in losses to the Washington Wizards, Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs.
