00:00In a game where the Clippers looked disjointed and the Nuggets seemed to bottle up Kawhi
00:04Leonard just a little bit again, Paul George stepped up to be the leader that the Clippers
00:09really needed him to be.
00:10While George may have struggled in the first round of the playoffs, the second round has
00:14not been the same.
00:16He had a fantastic line tonight, basically carrying the Clippers with 32 points, 4 rebounds,
00:214 assists, 2 steals on 12 out of 18 field goals.
00:25He basically kept the Clippers in the game until they decided to turn it up in the fourth
00:28quarter and win the game, which is what they did.
00:32You know, Doc Rivers and Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams, all the players basically
00:36said, they know he made some big plays offensively, but defensively is where he stepped it up
00:41and that's what they appreciated the most.
00:43George has often said that he wants to make Kawhi Leonard's life easier and alleviate
00:47the pressure for Kawhi.
00:49And for Kawhi tonight, that's exactly what he did.
00:51And Kawhi said, we followed his lead.
00:54And that's how the Clippers ended up winning game three, through the great shooting of
00:58Paul George, which kept them alive enough for the fantastic execution in the fourth
01:03quarter.
