Paul George, who joined the LA Clippers in a blockbuster deal from Oklahoma City Thunder to play alongside Kawhi Leonard, dismissed any claims of an inner power struggle within the LA squad after a sudden drop in form. The Clippers, who were without the services of star player Kawhi Leonard, were made to work hard in order to beat the Knicks by a 135-132 scoreline. In conversation with Ben Golliver of Washington Post, Paul George said that “We’re shaping up well… We’re going through this experience w/ a full-on team mindset… [The locker room] isn’t an issue at all. It’s coming from a guy who wants to win & it’s coming from a good place.”
