He said that his team was “playing against the extra 3” when they lost to the Nuggets 111–108.
As the first month for the season goes on, more and more people are calling out NBA refs in public.
After the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets 111–108 on Tuesday night, Paul George became the latest person to say bad things about the team.
The guard mostly said that the judges were bad, that the Clippers had been playing against them, that he should have gone for the line more, and that the technical foul call George got made him mad.
In the first month of the season, more and more people are speaking out against NBA judges.
After the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the crowned NBA champion Denver Nuggets 111–108 on Tuesday night, Paul George became the latest person to say bad things about them.
To sum up, the guard said that the refs were bad, that the Clippers had been playing against them in their final days that he should have absent to the line more, and that he didn’t like the official foul George got.
Paul George or the LA Clippers are still having a hard time since James Harden joined the team. They have yet to win since Harden arrived.
They lost their second game during the In-Season Tournament to the defending winners, the Denver Nuggets (108–111). They are now down six straight games.
After Tuesday’s loss to the Nuggets, Paul George, who scored 35 points, was upset about the loss and yelled at the refs for how they handled the game.
On Tuesday night, the LA Clippers played the reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets in a nationally televised in-season tournament game.
They had a real chance to win. With 13.0 minutes left, the game was down by three points, and Paul George, who had scored 35 points, enjoyed the ball.
Even though Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was on top of him and George had missed his previous four third-quarter shots, he tried to make a game-tying field goal that turned into the latest embarrassing image of LA’s losing streak: a wedgie.
A wedgie isn’t the worst thing which can happen for a team that is trying to tie the game, though. You can’t just expect the defenders to get the rebound; it’s a jump ball.
But the Clippers’ starting center, Ivica Zubac, has had trouble keeping tips in center court all season, and this game was no different. Their loss was 111–108 to the Nuggets.
It was only one game at home for the Denver Nuggets. On Tuesday night, they played the second NBA Cup game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Paul George had a big game for Los Angeles, and James Harden scored the most points he ever has in a Clippers uniform. But Nikola Jokic had been up to the job.
Because L.A. wasn’t big enough, they lost in the end, with Joker dominating within the post and on the floor.
Reggie Jackson as well as Aaron Gordon, who used to play for the Clippers, helped him on offense.
Denver was ahead at the start, fell behind in the end, but then made a comeback to win 111–108.
Both teams got off to a slow start from the field. During a Nuggets possession, they took three shots but didn’t make any field goals.
Joey and Jackson scored their initial eight points for Denver, while George scored the initial seven for the Clippers.
The first Denver sub, Jalen Pickett, was a big deal. He took over for Jackson. The attack for Denver was still led by Jokic, and George was still scoring goals for Los Angeles. For the remainder of the second half of the quarter, Denver’s bench began to come in.
It was a lot more exciting for them than the last two games, and they led a charge to take the lead. While George was taking a break, Harden caused most of the harm for the Clippers by throwing up a lot of points.
There was less than a minute left, and Pickett made a nice step-back three. This gave Denver a 28–26 lead going into the second quarter.
