The Thunder were heading for a sixth defeat in seven NBA games when they trailed the Pacers by 10 in the third quarter, but they came storming back to win 107-99.
Oklahoma scored 24 points without reply to turn the tide as the Pacers faltered.
George, who led the way with 31 points against his former team, said: “That was us at our best.
“On the defensive end I knew that we had to pick it up, I definitely try to do that to give us a little spark.”
He added: “We got the ball in good spots. We got it where we wanted. We set up one another. We screened for one another. We just had a good pace.
“We were running with some thrust and it was hard to guard us. It’s just a tough match up when we’re running with some speed.”
Russell Westbrook claimed a 29th triple-double of the season with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists.
