Paul George dinged $10K by league for criticizing refs
Nick Turchiaro-USA TODAY Sports
Paul George has discovered that the slightest criticism of NBA referees is a quick way to get a five-figure fine.
The Indiana Pacers forward was fined $10,000 by the league Thursday for comments made after the previous night's 106-99 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
"We felt like it was a lot of bad calls," George said after the game. "Close games like that, let us play. You got a guy like (Kyle) Lowry who's down on one end doing what he wants, then on the other end he gets touched and the whistle is getting blown. So we was frustrated. We was very frustrated."
