Thunder: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shows why Paul George trade was a blessing

In the middle of a rip-roaring game, a wildly entertaining shootout in which the Thunder rallied from another huge deficit while renewing old acquaintance with a superstar who caught the last train for the coast, Paul George looked up during a stoppage in play and noticed where he was.

On the baseline by the Thunder bench. And George figured he knew what that meant. Clay Bennett was nearby.

So PG13 found the Thunder chairman for an in-game hug. Soon enough, George and Bennett shared a post-game hug. Bennett didn’t reveal what was said between the guys who for two years either signed or cashed awfully big Oklahoma City checks, but hopefully there was a big thank-you dropped.
