Pacers' Paul George: Opts not to rest, plays 29 minutes in Tuesday's season finale

George scored 19 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) with six assists, four rebounds and two steals during 29 minutes in Tuesday's 102-90 win against the Knicks.

It was odd to see George suit up considering the Pacers already wrapped up a playoff berth, but his minutes were limited anyway. In fact, George hasn't played more than 30 minutes in four of the last five games in an attempt to keep him fresh for the first round. After missing basically all of last season, George will set a new career high in points per game (23.2), assuming he sits out Wednesday's season finale vs. the Bucks.
