All-Star small forward Paul George wore this Indiana Pacers yellow alternate home jersey during Game 3 of the 2017 Eastern Conference First Round playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Indianapolis’ Bankers Life Fieldhouse. This jersey has been photo matched by Resolution Photomatching to the April 20th, 2017 game in which George did it all for the Pacers, scoring 36 points with a game-high 15 rebounds and nine assists in a valiant performance against LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
With the final score 119-114 Cleveland, the Cavaliers ended the night with a 3-0 series lead and all the momentum. Although the series ended after the next game, it was an extremely even series, with no game decided by more than six points. George had an excellent year for the Pacers in 2016-17, leading the team in scoring (23.7) while contributing 6.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game for Nate MacMillan’s squad. The former Fresno State star upped his game in the playoffs, averaging 28.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists in the Eastern Conference First Round.
This offered Pacers alternate jersey is yellow, with blue, white, and gray accents. “INDIANA” is applied to the chest in blue and white, while George’s number “13” is sewn on the chest in blue mesh over white tackle twill. “GEORGE” is sewn across the back shoulders in blue tackle twill while a second “13” is sewn on the back in blue mesh over white and yellow tackle twill. An Adidas size “L” tag with an attached “Length +2”” flag is sewn on the front left tail and a Pacers 50th Anniversary patch is located on the chest. This jersey comes with a LOA from Resolution Photomatching (426218), who have photo matched this jersey to Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round Series played on April 20th, 2017.
