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

#1 LaMarcus Aldridge and Patty Mills shone for the Spurs

Golden State Warriors v San Antonio Spurs-Game Four

On a night when none of the Spurs' players had any sort of rhythm going into the second half, LaMarcus Aldridge virtually willed the Spurs back into the game on his own. He had only 5 points in the first half, but his back-to-the-basket style of play and overall hustle paid dividends in the latter half as the Spurs kept pace with the Warriors for the length of the second half to go 53-52.

Aldridge had 25 points in the second half, and he finished with 30 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal. He also went 14-for-14 from the free throw line, which was the primary reason why the Spurs kept themselves close late in the game.

Patty Mills was his supporting star for the most part. Mills had 18 points and 5 rebounds on 7-of-15 shooting, including 4-of-10 from 3-point range. At times when the Spurs had basically nothing going on the offensive end, it was he who bailed them out with a couple of 3-balls.
