Oklahoma City Thunder star Paul George's scoring average has taken a hit within the past month and so has his acumen for long-range shots, dialing in merely 29.5 percent from long range since the start of March.

Last night against the Golden State Warriors, the same woes reflected — making only 5-of-19 from the floor and 3-of-9 from deep — despite having several open looks.

“I've got to figure out something mechanical with my shot that I've had struggles throughout the season and in my career with shooting the three,” said George after a 111-107 loss on Tuesday. “It's all just game, though. Not making shots.”

“I don't know what it is. It just feels funny. Shooting the ball feels funny.”

George has gone from a team where he was tasked with all the ball-handling duties with the Indiana Pacers, to another where he's able to spot up consistently and knock down shots.

That worked to his favor in the early go, knocking down 40 percent or more of his shots from downtown in every month since the start of the season — even getting up to a career-high 43 percent by the All-Star break. Yet ever since, George has been off the mark, which could cost him down the stretch, where his shot-making will count the most.
