NBA History: 5 greatest Paul George performances of all time

#3 Pacers Vs Cavaliers: April 21, 2017

Cleveland Cavaliers v Indiana Pacers - Game Three

The Indiana Pacers were facing LeBron James and the mighty Cavaliers in the third game of the first round Playoffs series. Pacers lost the first two games and were looking to get a victory over the Cavs.

Indiana took a huge 25 point lead and were up 74-49 by halftime but couldn't hold the lead as the Cavs tied up the score in the last quarter. The game ended up in favour of Cleveland 119-114. George tried his best and did everything to win the game but his attempt proved unsuccessful. Pacers went down 3–0 in the series.

Paul scored 36 points, grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds (in playoffs) and gave nine assists, one short of his second postseason triple-double. It was one of his best performance ever for the Pacers in the Playoffs. He was frustrated after the game and said, "I should have stepped in and demanded the ball a little bit more."
