Paul George: 'Philadelphia 76ers kept battling'

Paul George has said that the Philadelphia 76ers deserve credit for "battling" in their loss to the Indiana Pacers.

The Sixers slipped to their 19th defeat in a row with a 101-94 loss to the Eastern Conference leaders last night.

The small forward told reporters: "This game could have easily been a blowout-type of game. You've got to give them credit, they kept battling."

Philadelphia sit 14th in their conference with a 15-50 record.
