RecapPaul George finished Tuesday’s win over the 76ers with 36 points (14-of-22 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, one assist and six three-pointers.
On a night when most of the basketball world focused on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, George stole the show in his first regular-season game in Philadelphia since the offseason trade. After scoring 17 points in the first half, PG-13 dropped 14 in just over seven fourth-quarter minutes to help the Celtics put the game away. In his new home, George has remained healthy, and his production has been very good. It’s early, but he could be one of the steals of fantasy basketball this season.
