'He really had it going' - Nick Nurse on former 76ers star Paul George's 30-point night for the Celtics

Yeah, I think the biggest thing was just trying to be there for him. You know, it is going to be emotional no matter how the game went. And I think we did that as a team. We tried to be there for him as much as possible. So, I think he did a good job of just hanging in there. I know it was tough. He got into foul trouble early and it's a difficult situation, but it's okay. Oh, yeah, it's good to see Paul. I don't want to see Paul get six threes and 30 points. I love him. I love him. I love his family. I don't care less if he gets it. I don't want him to score zero points. But it is good to see Pete. Pete, my guy, he's a good dude. Thank You know, he gave us everything he had while he was here. You know, what he did in the playoffs last year. So, appreciate him. Great person, great family. And we'll see him again. Well, you know, first of all, give him credit. I mean, he's pretty crafty at getting open. you. You know, we've known that and seen that. But he was doing a lot of change of direction, push-offs, those kind of things to get the ball in really good areas. I thought, again, he... Played one-on-one. We didn't let him, we didn't force him to play off the dribble nearly enough. A lot of it was catch and shoot or look us in the eye and shoot stuff, which he's really good at. And he really had it going. You know, he post up and one, fall aways. You know, he really down the lane, high archer off the glass and one. And he scored in about every way he could tonight.
