Paul George scored a team-high 23 points with six boards, six assists, one steal and two 3-pointers on 7-of-18 shooting in 43 minutes during Thursday's Game 5 loss.
His shot hasn't been falling at in this series, making just 36.1 percent of his shot attempts. George's saving grace in this series has been his terrific defense, but with the way the Pacers couldn't get anything going offensively, it wasn't enough. What's more, George has turned the ball over a whopping 5.0 times per game in this series, which was really another ugly point about the Pacers on Thursday. He and the Pacers will look to close out the Knicks at home on Saturday. May 16 - 10:48 PM

Paul George hit 6-of-19 shots and just 1-of-9 3-pointers, but still finished with 18 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks in Tuesday's Game 3 win over the Knicks.

George outplayed Carmelo Anthony (again) and anytime that happens, the Knicks aren't likely to win. Game 5 is Thursday in New York, and Melo and J.R. Smith better figure things out before that one tips off. Meanwhile, George looks like a late first-round fantasy pick next year.

Paul George - G/F - Pacers

Paul George went 2-of-12 from downtown in the Pacers' Game 3 victory, and the team as a whole racked up 33 attempts from deep.

"I don’t really like taking 33 threes," Frank Vogel said after the game. "But the way this [Knicks] defense plays, that’s what they're giving us." Indiana ranked 22nd in the NBA in 3-point percentage this season, and they connected on just 11 of their attempts on Saturday, but the end result was a double-digit victory.

Paul George - G/F - Pacers

Paul George led the Pacers with 20 points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and three 3-pointers on 8-of-16 shooting, along with seven turnovers, as the Pacers lost 105-79 in Tuesday's Game 2 in New York.

The series is even at 1-1 with Game 3 set for Saturday in Indy. David West (13) and George Hill (12) were the only other Pacers to hit double figures tonight. They entered the fourth quarter down just six points, but were outscored 33-13 in the final stanza and went more than nine minutes in the fourth quarter without scoring a point. They watched the Knicks go on a 36-4 run, and while this is not the outcome the Pacers were looking for, they've got to be happy to leave New York with homecourt advantage in the series.

Paul George filled the stat sheet in Game 5's loss to the Hawks with 21 points, 12 boards, two assists, four steals, one block and three 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

He shot 6-of-16 from the field and the Pacers usually go as George goes. In their regular-season losses, George shot just 35.7 percent from the field compared to 45.9 percent in wins. The Pacers will head back home for Game 5 on Wednesday.

Paul George is spending time watching film to study how to better defend Josh Smith.

George spent Sunday watching game tape with Brian Shaw. "Melo likes to post up, but he does it and usually squares you up before making his move to the basket," George said. "Smith is the first guy I’ve really guarded that does most his work on the block. I have to grow into guarding those types of players." It's nice to see George rising to the occasion.

Paul George backed up Sunday's Game 1 triple-double with 27 points, eight boards, three assists, four steals, a block and a 3-pointer on 11-of-21 shooting.

George received his Most Improved Player Award prior to the game and looked great again tonight. The Pacers will need him to play at a high level throughout the playoffs, as they will likely only get as far as he takes them. They off to a 2-0 start against the Hawks.

Paul George - G/F - Pacers

Paul George won the NBA's Most Improved Player award according to multiple reports on Monday.

George was the same dynamic force last year but Danny Granger's absence really opened things up for him and he didn't shy away from the challenge. This created a monster that averaged 17.4 points, 2.2 threes, 7.6 boards, 4.1 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. Jamal Crawford, Larry Sanders, Greivis Vasquez and Omer Asik were a few names also kicked around for the award.

Paul George triple-doubled in Sunday's Game 1 win over the Hawks with 23 points, 11 boards and 12 assists, while adding one steal and one block on 3-of-13 shooting from the field.

George made a living at the line and shot 17-of-18 from there in his 44 minutes of action. The Pacers won the battle at the line 30-7, which may have been the difference considering they shot 44.9 percent from the field compared to Atlanta's 50.0 percent. George is a legitimate candidate for Most Improved Player and he'll be off the board in the first round of fantasy drafts next year.

Frank Vogel wants Paul George to work on his shot before Game 1 against the Hawks.

"I hope he's (just) tired, (but) we'll see," Vogel said. "He's got to make sure he gets a lot of shots up this week." George failed to register double-digits in three of his last five games to round out the season, but the extra rest should do him well and we're not overly concerned about his production entering the postseason.

Paul George - G/F - Pacers

Paul George, David West, Roy Hibbert and George Hill are all out of Wednesday's regular season finale against Philadelphia.

All comes as expected with the Pacers having their postseason seed locked up. The Pacers will start a group of D.J. Augustin, Lance Stephenson, Gerald Green, Tyler Hansbrough and Ian Mahinmi on Wednesday evening.

The Pacers may rest Paul George for the final two games of the regular season.

George sat out Saturday's practice to get a breather and there is no incentive for Indiana to push him with their playoff seeding determined. Gerald Green and Sam Young figure to pick up the most minutes if George is indeed benched down the stretch.

Paul George shot 3-of-12 from the field for nine points with seven boards, 11 assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in 40 minutes against the Knicks on Sunday.

The 11 assists were nice and it's just another part of his game that has really come along in his breakout season. George's season stats are up across the board with the exception of shooting percentages and he's evolved into a first-round asset in fantasy leagues. As great as he's been, there's a very good chance he sits out Tuesday and/or Wednesday.

Paul George did not practice on Saturday for rest purposes.

He's certainly earned his rest and played 39.0 minutes per game over his last 10 games. George's offense has taken a dip lately and he's shot just 33.3 percent in his five April games. His owners might want to keep an eye out for his status against the Knicks on Sunday, but he should be considered probable.

Paul George was up to his usual tricks in Friday's game vs. Brooklyn, scoring 21 points with four boards, four assists, one steal, three blocks and three 3-pointers on 7-of-17 shooting.

The shooting numbers haven't been pleasant for George and he's shot just 35.0 percent from the field in his previous five games. Obviously, he fills up so many stats that there's no way that he'll be sliding out of the first round in drafts next year.
