Spurs' LaMarcus Aldridge: Shoots 6-for-21 from the floor in Game 5 loss

Aldridge scored 20 points (6-21 FG, 8-9 FT) and collected nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and a blocked shot across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 95-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 5 of the series.

Analysis:

Aldridge has cleared 20 points in every game this series, but he's regressed in the last three contests after going off for 38 and 41 points, respectively, in the first two games. During this most recent three-game stretch, he's shooting just 36.7 percent from the floor, and those struggles have played a large part in the Thunder capturing two wins on the Spurs' home court. The Spurs will need Aldridge's shooting accuracy to return to form in order for his team to extend the series to seven games.
