Paul George has been fined $10,000 by the NBA for criticizing officials.

"We felt like it was a lot of bad calls," George said after the Indiana Pacers lost to the Toronto Raptors. "Close games like that, let us play. You got a guy like Lowry who's down on one end doing what he wants, then on the other end he gets touched and the whistle is getting blown. So we was frustrated. We was very frustrated."

George had 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in 37 minutes.

The Indiana Pacers have requested waivers on guard Toney Douglas.

Douglas played in five preseason games and averaged 6.6 points and 1.6 assists per game.

The Oklahoma City Thunder led the NBA in efficiency differential during the preseason with a mark of +12.5.
