NEW YORK -- Paul George was fined $35,000 by the NBA on Thursday for saying the referees were "awful" and that the LA Clippers played against "the extra three" in their loss in Denver.

George scored a season-high 35 points in the Clippers' 111-108 defeat in the in-season tournament Tuesday, then took aim at the officiating.

"I thought we played great. It's tough, the adversity of playing against the extra three," George said. "I thought they were awful but, the defending champs, we've got to play better.

"So many times I got hit on layups, 3-pointers.
