OKC Thunder in the news: Rise to top of west via No. 1 defense and Paul George surge

OKC Thunder’s rise to the top of the Western Conference standings has everyone talking. The Thunder have the No.1 defense in the league combined with Paul George’s recent outrageous surge to solidify the team as a real contender, TI’s In the news brings you the specifics.

Paul George for MVP?

Russell Westbrook has obviously been the ring-leader for the OKC Thunder franchise, but during nights when Westbrook is a little less than perfect (‘little less’ used generously here) the team has struggled with coping. That is, until this season.

It has been a long time coming, a player that can fill the gap consistently and offer support to the weight on Russ’s shoulders, as broad as they may be, he can’t do it all on his own.
