“I thought we were bad on the ball, bad off the ball. It’s a good team. Phoenix has been together. They’re a decent team.”

Asked again about Ty Lue meeting with him to make sure he doesn’t take “a backseat” and remains aggressive and that it’s a “one-one” situation with Kawhi, Paul George reiterated it’s not that big a deal and he knows what he can do alongside Kawhi. “He’s 1A. I’m 1B.” – 12:48 AM

Paul George makes a 3 after Marcus Morris spent multiple possessions getting buckets. Williams calls an urgent timeout, Suns up 82-72 with 2:28 left in 3rd quarter.
It’s the closest Clippers have been since the first subs were made.
Also, the hot dog cannon is back. – 11:47 PM

Paul George 3. #Clippers down 10. Trailed by as many as 22.

More on this storyline

LA Clippers star guard Paul George was in the middle of a big second quarter when he said a technical foul “turned my aggression up.” He proceeded to take his anger out on the Sacramento Kings. George exploded for 40 points to go with six rebounds and six assists to lead the Clippers to a 111-109 win over the Kings at the Golden 1 Center on Saturday. -via ESPN / October 23, 2022
