OKC looks to get inside, whether or not Gobert is waiting

Deep in the paint, Paul George met resistance and spun.

The Thunder was in the midst of a stirring third-quarter run in its 107-99 come-from-behind win against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, and George had made a play right at the rim, elevating and scoring to cut what had been a 25-point lead to 12.

It was a notable bucket mostly because of the guy George spun away from — and scored over.

The Oklahoma City forward had gone into Rudy Gobert's chest, a test the Thunder has been failing for much of this best-of-7 Western Conference playoff series, which resumes Friday night in Salt Lake City with the Jazz leading 3-2.
