Paul George calls out refs as Clippers lose close game to Nuggets

DENVER -- The LA Clippers played their best game with James Harden to date. But they could not overcome the defending champion Denver Nuggets -- and, in Paul George's view, the officiating crew.

The Clippers star was livid with the referees following the Nuggets' 111-108 win over the Clippers at Ball Arena on Tuesday night.

George led all scorers with 35 points and seven rebounds but the Clippers dropped their sixth straight game and fifth with Harden in the lineup.

George felt he should have gone to the line more than the five times that the crew of Josh Tiven, Natalie Sago and Matt Boland called during the game.
