Following the Indian Pacers' upset loss at home to the eighth seeded Atlanta Hawks on Saturday for the opening game of the first round of NBA Playoff basketball, Pacers' star forward Paul George took to the lakes for "a lil R&R" on Sunday.

George's team lost 101-93 in what has been a rough month for the ball club as they struggle with an identity crisis, according to the Los Angeles Times' Bleacher Report.

On Sunday, George posted a photo of himself holding up some fish alongside friend and bass fishing pro Jacob Wheeler on his personal Instagram account.

"A lil R&R out on the lake with my bro@jacob_wheeler12" George wrote.

George's day on the lake could be the rest he needed after scoring 24 points and playing 40 minutes on Saturday, according to his game stats on NBA.com.

George, George Hill and Lance Stephenson were the only three Pacers players to score in double digits for the team while the rest of the squad struggled with scoring despite having high rebound and assist numbers.

Despite George's efforts while playing at a high level, it was not enough to stop the Hawks' star players Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague from scoring a combined 53 points.

Following the game, TNT analyst Charles Barkley had some choice words to say about the No. 1 team in the NBA's Eastern Conference.

"I'm an Indiana fan because of everything (they) stand for," Barkley said. "But to come out and play like flat wussies ... and I'm only calling y'all wussies because I don't want to get the FCC pissed off at me ... They're embarrassing coach (Frank) Vogel and the great Larry Bird."

The Pacers, who ended their season 56-26, will play their second game against the Hawks on Tuesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indiana before traveling to Atlanta for games three and four at the Phillips Arena on Thursday and Saturday.
