Paul George and the Oklahoma City Thunder will kick off a three-game road trip with Tuesday night's matchup against the Orlando Magic. The Thunder have won five straight, and George is hoping they won't have any setbacks on this trek.

George, who scored 36 points and 13 rebounds in Sunday's 118-112 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, spoke with reporters after Tuesday morning's shootaround:

“We're playing good right now,” George said of the Thunder. “We don't want any setbacks at this point. We've had our fair share of those — winning big ones, then coming out and laying an egg.

“I think this group is pretty focused, based on today's shootaround,” George added. “This group is focused coming into tonight. We wanna have a good road trip. (Orlando) plays well at home, Miami plays well at home, and Boston is just a tough place to win — period.

“We like these environments, though,” George said in closing. “Where we're gonna come into a team that's ready to play and give us their best shot.”
