PG: 'Home-court cooking' played role in loss to 76ers
Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George felt his team got the short end of the stick during Tuesday's road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Clippers were called for eight more personal fouls in the contest, which resulted in 12 more free-throw attempts for the 76ers.
"There was some home-court cooking tonight, to say the least," George said postgame, according to ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk.
"I mean, it was 19 to 11," he added, referring to the number of fouls called. "You all figure out what those numbers are. It was 19 to 11."
During the game's final six minutes, Philadelphia was whistled for only one personal foul compared to five against Los Angeles.
Overall, the 76ers finished 14-of-21 from the charity stripe while the Clippers shot 9-of-13.
The two clubs will meet again March 1 at the Staples Center.
