Paul George nailed a contested layup as his dominance against the Raptors continues in Game 5.
The Toronto Raptors entered their first round series against the Indiana Pacers knowing that they had to stop Paul George to have a shot at winning.
So far this series, that is something that the Raptors have had trouble doing that as George has at least 20 points in four of the five games of the series. His all-around game has given them fits too as he has averaged just under four assists per game and just over five rebounds per game in the series entering Game 5.
George’s dominance continued in Game 5 as he might be having his most dominant performance of the series. The Raptors have had no answer for him as he has 37 points on 10 of 16 shooting with just over nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. His dominance can be summed up in one play, a contested layup that miraculously went in. Everything is coming up George right now.
When he can get those kinds of shots going for him, there’s not too much that teams can do to stop him. George has had an impressive season coming back from a devastating injury. He had a career-high 23.1 points per game during the regular season.
