George slams refs after win vs. Bulls

Paul George won't let officials get the best of him.

George's 33-point, eight-rebound performance on Friday could have been tarnished had he succumbed to his frustrations toward referee Nick Buchert in the Indiana Pacers' 104-92 win over the Chicago Bulls.

Shortly after Buchert called George for an offensive foul against Jimmy Butler, he received a technical foul for shouting at him. But rather than allowing his anger to get the best of him, he avoided taking a second tech and instead used it as motivation.

"If I feel I didn't get a call, I get more aggressive," George said following the game.

"I don’t understand how they are so quick with technicals. I wasn't going to let the stripes get a hold of this one.”
