Oklahoma City Thunder star small forward Paul George has done something that Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant have never done as members of the Thunder/SuperSonics.

After scoring 39 points on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic, Paul George has now scored at least 35 points in five straight games, which is a Thunder/SuperSonics record.

George is playing the best basketball of his NBA career this season with OKC. The All-Star swingman entered Tuesday averaging a career-high 27.8 points per game.

The Thunder, who are now 34-19 on the season, look like a legitimate championship contender, with PG leading the way.

When George re-signed with the Thunder last summer, many around the league questioned the move.

The 28-year-old was linked to joining the Los Angeles Lakers for so many years, so when he stayed in OKC to run it back with Westbrook, the move caught a lot of people in NBA circles off guard.

It looks like Paul George made the right decision. PG and Westbrook have a great relationship, both on and off the floor. Russ is doing a great job this season letting George take over the offense late in games lately.

With the way George has been scoring the ball, it's only right that George gets to take the shots in money time.
