Paul George has said that defense it a vital part of the Indiana Pacers' style of basketball following their low-scoring victory over the Washington Wizards.
The small forward led the Eastern Conference's top seeds with 23 points during their 85-63 victory over the Wizards in their conference semi-final.
The 24-year-old told reporters: "This was probably the ugliest game of the post-season thus far. This is our style of basketball.
"That's what we do. Whether you like it or not, are a fan of watching our games or not, defense is what we hang our hats on."
The Pacers restricted the Wizards to their lowest points total in the franchise's history.
