When it comes to finally beginning to reach their potential as a team, the Oklahoma City Thunder seem to be on the same page as of late. It may be time to take the Thunder seriously, at least star forward Paul George seems to think so.

According to an article published today by staff writer Royce Young of ESPN, George and his Thunder teammates have really begun to figure things out recently and close out games in the fourth quarter.

“There's no confusion,” George said. “We're just playing. We trust one another. We're on the same page with one another. We just figured it out, how to close, how to play well, how to tighten up. We're just comfortable, I think. That's what took a little time, is the comfort level.”
