#2 43 at Denver Nuggets, February 1, 2018
Stat line: 43 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals on 73.1 percent shooting
Paul George was impressive in the game against the Washington Wizards on the road but the Wizards won the game, even without John Wall. Two nights later, they were up against the Denver Nuggets in a game at the Pepsi Center.
The Nuggets jumped to an early lead in the first quarter and at the 4:17 mark, George knocked down an open three-pointer to cut the deficit to 4 points. Apart from him, no one showed up for the Thunder and the Nuggets went into the halftime with a 72-57 lead.
In the fourth quarter, with the Thunder down by 6 points and 1:24 remaining, George made a huge three-pointer to create panic in the crowd. He then followed it up with a beautiful layup to cut the deficit to just one point.
The 5-time All-Star was not done and with just 1.4 seconds remaining in the game, he made a step-back three-pointer shot to tie the game. However, the Thunder lost the game on a game-winning three-pointer by Gary Harris and another Paul George's offensive explosion ended in a loss.
