The news came just before dusk, on a stormy night. But through the shadows, clouds, lightning and, yes, Thunder, the light of incredible news broke through. Paul George is headed for Oklahoma City.
Sorry, Lakers. Sorry, Boston. Sorry, Cleveland. You all could have used the Pacers' star swingman. But no team will make better use of George than the Thunder.
OKC is back in the championship hunt.
Thunder wizard Sam Presti pulled off a stunner Friday night that trumped even the Rockets' acquisition of Chris Paul. There is no figuring out how Russell Westbrook and George will mesh.
