Oklahoma City Thunder star Paul George wowed the hometown crowd Friday night with a windmill dunk in overtime -- then hit the game-winning buzzer-beater in double overtime, as the Thunder beat the Utah Jazz 148-147.
George, who plays shooting guard and small forward, slam dunked the ball into the hoop, tying the game at 133-133.
"Wind. It. Up. @Yg_Trece punishing the rim," the Thunder tweeted.

Then in double OT with 0.8 seconds remaining, George made a high-arching lob.
"I knew I just had to step over and put it up," George said after the game, according to the Associated Press. "I saw a little gap and so I put up the floater. It's a shot I work (on). Just thank God it went in."

George's scoring capped off a 45-point night.
"Tip your hat to him for making that play," Jazz coach Quinn Snyder said of George. "It's a heckuva play and that's why he is who he is. He's right there in the MVP conversation. It certainly looked like that tonight."
