Paul George exploded with 39 points as the Los Angeles Clippers recored their fifth win of the season by defeating the Phoenix Suns.

The 30-year-old superstar is averaging 25.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game so far this season and seems to have left behind the troubles of last year’s playoffs.

After the game, Kawhi Leonard, who had 14 points, admitted that PG was the one who carried the Clippers against the Blazers.

“Paul did his thing. He carried us tonight. That’s why he’s here,” he said, per Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson.
