Paul George can play without pressure for the Boston Celtics

On Saturday, October 10, Paul George made his preseason debut for the Boston Celtics. George, 36, was impressive, helping the Celtics secure a blowout win over a shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers while playing high-level defense. In 25 minutes, George grabbed five steals, six deflections, five rebounds, four assists, and 13 points on 3-of-10 shooting. Most importantly, though, the Celtics played a free-flowing brand of basketball. The ball moved at pace, with Boston looking to kick the rock ahead and force transition play whenever possible.
