George is averaging 28.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game for the Thunder while shooting a career-high 41.3% from three-point range.
In three games versus the Trail Blazers he’s averaging 40.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists, shooting 50% from the field and 57.1% from the arc.
MVP indeed.
