On April 13, Beijing time, the NBA playoff Clippers played against the Timberwolves. Throughout the game, George shot 10 of 24, 6 of 12 from three-point range, got 34 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, was mocked by Timberwolves fans, and was madly wrapped up by opponents in the decisive moment, and it was too difficult to have no small card around.
The play-offs were seven, a single-game tiebreaker, but in the first half of the game, George was slow to heat up, shooting 2-of-10 at half-time and scoring only 9 points.
As a result, the Timberwolves let their guard down on George, didn't pack it, and they paid the price. Coming back at halftime, the familiar George also returned.
As soon as he came up, George broke through to a layup, and with 4:45 left in the third quarter, he received a pass from Reggie and he hit a three-point shot. Immediately after, George broke through the layup and scored again, and withdrew the three-point shot to hit again. Throughout the third quarter, George was on full fire, shooting 5-of-8 in a single quarter and scoring 17 points.
It is worth mentioning that the Timberwolves fans provoked George during the game, shouting playoff P when George was on the free throw line, taunting George for dropping the chain when he reached the key game. However, this battle George punched them in the face.
The Timberwolves also woke up and went crazy about George. Even though he's holding the ball two meters from the three-point line, the Timberwolves have two men waiting. In the fourth quarter they blasted a wave of 16-2 and completed the rebound. The Clippers were cornered with 1 minute and 24 seconds left, George hit a three-pointer, and after that, he hit another three-pointer, and it was too late. In the end, the Clippers fell short.
