An overtime victory over the Charlotte Hornets marked Paul George's first home win as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. Although he didn’t play in overtime, PG played a big role in the victory.
Nick Nurse said after the 107-105 win that George didn’t play any minutes of overtime because of a minutes restriction. He was up to 33 when regulation ended. His missed jumper at the end of the fourth quarter, opting to pull up over Cody Martin rather than drive into the paint with five seconds left. In the heat of the battle, he wanted to fight until the end.
