What happened: George, who moved into eighth all-time in 3-pointers made on Oct. 20, finished 8-of-16 from the field across 36 minutes of action.

Why it matters: The seven-assist performance more than doubled his early-season playmaking average while extending his two-way production in the opening week of the 2026-27 regular season.

By the numbers: 2026-27 season averages: 22.3 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 3.5 APG, 2.3 SPG | Shooting splits: 47% FG, 44% 3PT, 87% FT, 61% TS.

What to watch: George looks to maintain his shooting efficiency and all-around volume in the next game on the regular-season schedule.
