Talking after the match, the star forward expressed satisfaction about his performance which according to him is the fruit of a different ‘approach. George also showed faith in his fellow players and stated that the team is picking at the right moment.
“It means the approach for this season paid off, and that was [to prepare] as we haven't in years past,” said George. “But more so knowing what's at stake and the importance of the regular season.
“We just have the roster, we have the personnel, and now we're just putting it all together and we've been healthy. Let’s call a spade a spade. We've been healthy, and I think that's what's really gotten us off to a great start.”
