Monday night was the first time this season the Sixers got to as many as 110 points in regulation. (They scored 118 points in overtime against the Indiana Pacers in their only win.) They made 20 3s, they played fast, they had 27 assists. George’s gravity and his ability to create a basketball advantage helped in all of those areas.

The Sixers forward, who was out with a bone bruise after hyperextending his left knee, is happiest about the opportunity to help teammates.

The Philadelphia 76ers have yet to see new addition Paul George on the floor since they brought him in on a 4-year $212 million deal in the offseason. George was the biggest prize of the offseason as the Sixers were able to land a legitimate star to form a Big 3 with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
