After the first quarter, Paul George piled up 20 points in less than 12 minutes of being on the court. He did it in a variety of ways. He showed touch on 16-foot jumpers and he exploited the Pistons' defense with 3-pointers from all over the court.
This is what coach Frank Vogel and president Larry Bird envisioned when they wanted George, the team's best asset, to move to the power forward position.
It did not matter that the Pacers defeated the Pistons 115-112 in their second preseason game.
