The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Portland Trail Blazers at home, 120-111, for OKC’s 4th win in a row. Powered behind another dominant performance by Paul George, OKC led nearly throughout behind timely shooting and a stout defense over a tired Blazers team playing on the 2nd night of a back-to-back.
George continued his assault on the league by recording his own triple-double, scoring 47 points on 15-26 shooting, including 8-13 from three, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to go with 2 steals. His counterpart Russell Westbrook, again struggling from the floor, still grabbed his 10th straight triple-double (23rd on the season) with 21 points (10-13 from the FT line), 14 rebounds, and 11 assists.
