Scores 18 points in loss
Castle chipped in 18 points (7-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 106-103 Game 2 loss to the Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs.
Analysis
Castle struggled with efficiency but still led the Spurs in scoring on a night when Victor Wembanyama went down with a concussion in the second quarter. Although Castle didn't deliver his most efficient shooting performance, he contributed across the stat sheet yet again. He's shooting just 33.3 percent from the floor through two first-round games but has recorded 35 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists in the series. The second-year guard may need to take on an increased role on the offensive end if Wembanyma is unable to return for Friday's Game 3 in Portland.

Strong showing in Game 1
Castle posted 17 points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-98 victory over the Trail Blazers in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Analysis
The second-year guard continues to emerge as a multi-category complement to Victor Wembanyama. Two of Castle's five career triple-doubles have come in the last eight games, a stretch in which he's averaging 18.0 points, 9.3 assists, 7.8 boards and 1.8 threes while shooting 42.4 percent from downtown.
