Paul George had himself a day against the Atlanta Hawks

He had 24 of the Pacers’ 50 points in the first half.

Apparently Paul George likes Sunday afternoon basketball games, because he is putting on a clinic against the Atlanta Hawks. He started the first quarter with 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting, then finished the first half with 24 points on 9-of-12 shooting. Efficient Paul George to the rescue.

After an impressive first half, George came out and immediately got fouled on a three-pointer, hit the shot, and the free throw.

Midway through the third quarter, George was still cooking. This includes six three-pointers, as well.

George only got one shot off in the fourth but helped set up the game-winner that got the Pacers win against Atlanta, 97-96. He finished with 34 points, five rebounds, and four assists.

Sunday afternoon Paul George is good.
