The Clippers won 18 games in 21 games, and the number one contributor: George 38 points + 18 points in the final quarter 11 points to win
On January 17, Beijing time, in a key matchup in the top four in the West, the two sides started a tug-of-war, George scored only 2 points in the first quarter and only 10 points in the first half, and he exploded in the second two quarters to save the team with 28 points. George once hit consecutive key shots to score 11 points in the final quarter, and scored 18 points in the final quarter to win, becoming the number one contributor to the Clippers' narrow 128-117 victory over the Thunder, helping the Clippers win 18 of their last 21 games. In this game, George hit 6 three-pointers and scored a team-high 38 points, his last 3 games 2 times 30+, and the last 15 games 14 games 20+, such a stable performance is undoubtedly expected to renew the Clippers, and the Clippers Big Four combined 81 points.
When Leonard has already taken a three-year contract extension with the Clippers, George's contract extension negotiations are still continuing, and he is likely to sign a contract extension similar to Leonard's salary cut to help the Clippers function better in the offseason, especially to try to keep Harden as much as possible.
George, who is in the middle of contract renewal negotiations, naturally needs to play a quality performance to prove his worth. George had previously scored 20+ points in 13 consecutive games, but had a poor performance against the Timberwolves in his last game, scoring just 16 points on 5-of-19 shooting.
Fortunately, now facing the game against the Thunder, George once again ushered in a resurgence performance, he only scored 2 points and 2 assists in 1 of 8 minutes and 22 seconds in the first quarter, and his presence on the court was not strong. George gradually turned on the offensive mode in the second quarter, and he scored 8 points on 3-of-7 shooting in a single quarter, especially hitting two three-pointers from the outside, so that he surpassed Pierce in the regular season three-pointers in his career, and ushered in a milestone record of 12th in history, and had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the first half.
In the second half, George continued to give a strong performance, he scored 10 points in 4 of 6 in the third quarter, and in the first three quarters, he has improved to 8 of 15 and got 20+5+5 data, becoming the Clippers' most stable offensive scoring point.
It's just that the fierce battle between the Clippers and the Thunder continues, and George continued to fire in the final quarter, especially in the final stage, when he scored 11 points in a row, as well as a counterattack after stealing Alexander, which helped the Clippers gradually expand their 11-point lead to lay the victory, and naturally became the number one contributor to the Clippers' victory.
