With the Thunder trailing by three points, and just 6.9 seconds left Saturday afternoon against the Philadelphia 76ers, Paul George stepped up and drained his second game-winner of the season to lift his team to a 117-115 victory.

Prior to this season, George was 0-of-14 in his career on potential go-ahead shots in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime but he now has two such shots this season for the Thunder.

George drained a 3-pointer with just 3.1 seconds left on Dec. 5 against the Brooklyn Nets to give the Thunder a 114-112 win as his second game-winner came Saturday in Philadelphia.

After his game-winner against the Nets, George was asked about hitting his first go-ahead shot and downplayed any talk that he hasn’t been clutch throughout his career.

He echoed that once again Saturday afternoon.

“I don’t think about it,” George said. “That’s not my job. My job is to be a ballplayer and I know what comes with it: you make shots, you miss shots. It’s not my job to keep stats of what I make and what I miss. I don’t worry about that. I’m going to shoot it with confidence, if I make it, we win; if I miss it, we lose it. That’s what it comes down to and I knew that going into that shot. I just know that I have spent a lot of time shooting the ball in my life. … I don’t let it linger. I don’t hang my head. That’s the media’s job to try to put this over me that Paul can’t shoot this or he’s not clutch.”

George is 13th in the NBA this season with 73 points scored during the last five minutes of games that are within five points, and is tied for eighth with eight made 3-pointers.

He has emerged as a great option for the Thunder this season that the team can count on with the game on the line after hitting two game-winners already this season.
