Erik Horne (Oklahoman) on Paul George changing the narrative around his clutch-time shooting: “George was in the midst of his second-worst shooting performance of the season when he hoisted a potential game-winner against Sacramento on Saturday. In other seasons, George twirling past his initial defender and firing a deep 3-pointer in front of a 7-footer’s outstretched arms would have been a sure misfire in the final seconds of a game. Not this season. When George’s 30-foot attempt hit the front of the rim, Chesapeake Energy Arena was stunned. Even in a 4-of-19 game, George has raised the level of expectation to where his high-degree of difficulty shot was expected to go in.
