The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Milwaukee Bucks at home, 118-112. Behind the offense of Paul George and some stout first half defense, OKC was able to slow down the Eastern Conference-leading Bucks and hold them off in the end.
Paul George was once again the best player on the court, scoring 36 points on 12-21 shooting, including 8-12 from three, to go along with 13 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals. His first half in particular put OKC on the right foot, as he scored 21 out of the gates to put the Bucks on their heels.
