Paul George played a crucial role in the 76ers’ Game 7 victory against the Celtics, contributing 13 points, three rebounds, one assist, and three three-pointers despite dealing with an illness. His defensive impact and efficient shooting from beyond the arc, as shown by his 22-of-40 performance from three in the series, were key factors in the win. The Sixers will rely on his consistent two-way play as they prepare for their second-round match-up against the Knicks.
