Jimmy Butler just might have Paul George's number.

As the dynamic Indiana Pacers wing glided toward the hoop for a left-handed layup, Butler - the Chicago Bulls' do-it-all star - blocked George's attempt off the backboard.

The stifling defensive play led to a speedy fastbreak featuring a crosscourt bounce pass from Derrick Rose to Nikola Mirotic.

This isn't the first time Butler has owned "PG-13" with lockdown man-to-man defense.

The 26-year-old Texan preserved a Bulls win against the Pacers with a last-second swat on Nov. 16.
