Paul George played through illness to contribute 13 points, including three three-pointers, in a crucial Game 7 victory against the Celtics. Despite a modest stat line, George’s defensive efforts were pivotal throughout, and his series-wide 22-of-40 shooting from beyond the arc proved significant. As the 76ers prepare for their second-round match-up against the Knicks starting Monday, George’s consistent performance on both ends remains crucial for their ongoing playoff success.
