For the better part of the year, Clippers guard Paul George been the butt of many fans' jokes regarding his "Playoff P" nickname and his performance in last year's postseason.
One game does not cement a reputation, but George took a big step in changing the narrative on Saturday night.
George and Kawhi Leonard combined for 65 points in a 132-106 win over the Jazz in Game 3, allowing the Clippers to avoid falling into a 3-0 series deficit. George scored 31 points on 12-for-24 shooting—including 6-for-10 on three-pointers—while Leonard scored 34 points with 12 boards, five assists, two steals and a block.
