Game 5: San Antonio Spurs 91-99 Golden State Warriors - 5 Talking Points

San Antonio Spurs v Golden State Warriors - Game Five
4 down, 12 wins to go for the defending champs.

#4 Poor 3-point shooting from both sides

Both the Spurs and the Warriors were just off from downtown this night, resulting in a match that went low on the scoring side when it could have been much higher.

The Spurs went 7-for-30 from 3-point territory, and 4 of those makes came off just one player. Danny Green, LaMarcus Aldridge and Dejounte Murray went scoreless from deep, while Ginobili and Rudy Gay were both 1-of-4 from downtown. Bertans knocked down a crucial 3-pointer to cut the Warriors' lead to 2 late in the 4th quarter, but that was more of an aberration than a true representation of the game.

The Warriors were even worse than their opponents, shooting just 18% from 3-point territory and going 5-of-27 from that range for the game. They had just one player who shot more than 1 3-pointer, and none of their players had any sort of rhythm going from downtown.
