NBA News Update: Paul George met with resistance in the locker room post Nuggets loss
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Paul George was preaching to his LA Clippers to remain committed to the team in the offseason after the loss to Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semi-finals. It was met by some eye rolls and bewilderment because George did not back up his words with action in the series.

According to The Athletic, Paul George was quoted as saying:
Paul George and the LA Clippers will face a bigger challenge next season, as the expectations of winning an NBA championship will still be there.
