Paul George wrecks reeling Nets with 47-point masterpiece

This one was rated PG-13 for extreme suspense, violence to the rim and explicit language from the Barclays Center crowd.

Oklahoma City’s Paul George scored 47 points and turned a comedy into a slasher film on Wednesday night in Brooklyn, leading a get-your-popcorn Thunder comeback in the fourth quarter for a shocking 114-112 win over the shell-shocked Nets.

The devastating loss extended the Nets’ losing streak to eight games, and surpassed even Monday’s setback against the moribund Cavaliers for painfulness.

The Nets (8-18) took a 101-85 lead with 7:25 remaining. But George scored 25 of the Thunder’s next 29 points with an unstoppable barrage of 3-pointers, free throws, twisting layups and high-flying dunks.
