巴恩斯、保罗和布拉纳姆是圣安东尼奥灰暗夜晚中的亮点
俄克拉荷马城雷霆队(Oklahoma City)以4胜0负的战绩，凭借联盟顶级的防守压制了马刺队。他们在第一节打出18-2的攻击波，早早确立了领先优势，并最终以105-93取得了胜利。雷霆队开场三分球手感火热（上半场命中14记三分），而圣安东尼奥马刺队的多次进攻则在对方两到三名防守球员的围堵下停滞于禁区深处。切特·霍姆格伦(Chet Holmgren)在上半场大部分时间里都压制住了名气更大的对手文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)，得到15分和2个盖帽，而文班亚马则打出了本赛季最糟糕的表现。
圣安东尼奥马刺队(San Antonio)以1胜3负的战绩，再次由杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)（17分9篮板）领衔，老将哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)（18分4篮板）和克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)（14分9助攻）也提供了支持。球队没能帮助文班（6分8篮板3盖帽）在半场阵地战中找到有利位置，而文班自己也陷入了沮丧的情绪，这使得情况更加雪上加霜。马拉基·布拉纳姆(Malaki Branham)替补出场贡献15分。
雷霆队由霍姆格伦（19分5篮板）领衔，四名首发球员得分上双——卢根茨·多尔特(Luguentz Dort)（20分6篮板）、谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大(Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)（18分5助攻）和杰伦·威廉姆斯(Jalen Williams)（12分8助攻）——他们全面压制了马刺队的对应球员。
客队在雷霆队密不透风的防守下难以突破内线，只能选择跳投，而很多投篮都偏出篮筐。俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的三分球命中率让他们稳坐钓鱼台。尽管马刺队在第一节最后两分钟稳住了阵脚，并限制了雷霆队的篮板球，但他们仍然在艰难的首节比赛后落后7分。
雷霆队（编者注：就像一场严重的痢疾——JRW）在攻防两端都给圣安东尼奥马刺队制造了麻烦，同时在半场进攻中自信而大胆地远投。马刺队的分差一度扩大到19分，直到他们派上一套老将阵容才稍微遏制住了这支充满希望的争冠球队。克里斯·保罗的及时得分阻止了雷霆队进一步扩大比分，但雷霆队仍然以59-44的比分领先进入下半场。
雷霆队在下半场一开始就肆意攻击篮筐。霍姆格伦在一次突破中用肘部击中了文班亚马的脸部，巴恩斯的後仰跳投帮助圣安东尼奥马刺队将分差缩小到11分。在巴恩斯和保罗的带领下，尽管俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的三分球命中率惊人，马刺队仍然以26-23赢得了第三节。
观察
- 由于凯尔特人队和步行者队的比赛拖入加时，马刺队和雷霆队的比赛开始时，圣安东尼奥马刺队以10-7领先。
- 根据《The Ringer》的扎克·克拉姆(Zach Kram)的说法，雷霆队每五个回合就能迫使对手出现一次失误。今晚，他们通过这种方式制造了无数的抢断和拦截，并最终取得了胜利。
- 圣安东尼奥的队服很一般。
- 随着马刺队再次出现在全国直播中，我们（好吧，主要是我）需要适应更长的电视暂停时间。
- 在这种艰难的客场比赛中，巴恩斯需要在进攻端更强势地展现自己——而他最终做到了！
- 我已经数不清蒂姆·莱格勒(Tim Legler)和戴夫·帕施(Dave Pasch)评论圣安东尼奥马刺队糟糕的进攻的次数了。
- 这可能是本赛季第一场让斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)感到力不从心的比赛。
- 文班的轻松时刻: 不确定该如何看待文班亚马站在罚球线上的打法（就像德克·诺维茨基(Dirk Nowitzki)过去那样）。虽然他能从那个位置很好地观察球场，但他还不能用中距离跳投来惩罚对手的防守。
- 比赛最佳回合: 在扎克·科林斯(Zach Collins)在第二节开始时 emphatically emphatically盖掉了亚伦·威金斯(Aaron Wiggins)的扣篮后，马拉基·布拉纳姆在外线命中投篮。
- 在开场的快节奏几分钟里，马刺队 briefly briefly短暂地取得了小幅领先。杰伦·威廉姆斯抢断保罗的横传球并完成快攻扣篮，这引起了波波维奇的愤怒。圣安东尼奥马刺队在外线的投篮命中率很低，而霍姆格伦则早早命中了两记三分球。随着马刺队的投篮荒持续了九次出手，雷霆队将比分扩大到20-10。扎克·科林斯的三分球和布雷克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley)的转身 lay-up lay-up上篮避免了比赛早早变成一边倒的局面。第一节结束，雷霆队以26-19领先马刺队。
- 圣安东尼奥马刺队在第一节末和第二节初迫使雷霆队两次出现进攻违例。文班亚马和他的防守球员一起摔倒在地，杰伦·威廉姆斯在转换进攻中助攻霍姆格伦完成扣篮。一个明显沮丧并且可能受伤的文班亚马径直走进了更衣室。在一次界外球失误后，霍姆格伦命中三分，随后阿杰·米切尔(Ajay Mitchell)也命中三分，马刺队落后19分。在霍姆格伦莫名其妙地试图用篮板给自己一个空接后，保罗命中了两记三分，将圣安东尼奥马刺队的分差缩小到10分。保罗的第三记三分很快就被杰伦·威廉姆斯和卢根茨·多尔特回应，马刺队在上半场结束时只落后15分已经很幸运了。
- 俄克拉荷马城雷霆队在下半场一开始就连续上篮得分，将领先优势扩大到19分，这也是他们本场比赛的最大领先优势。朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)令人鼓舞地命中了一记底角三分，巴恩斯的突破扣篮将圣安东尼奥马刺队的分差缩小到14分。多尔特在本节命中的第二记无人防守的三分球再次将雷霆队的领先优势扩大到19分。保罗命中一记标志性的中距离跳投，并助攻索汉完成一次杂耍般的上篮。巴恩斯在外线命中三分，将马刺队的分差缩小到8分，这是他们本场比赛第一次真正意义上的反击。在圣安东尼奥马刺队打出本场比赛最好的防守回合后，凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)的三分球将分差缩小到7分。
- 马拉基·布拉纳姆的擦板三分球在第四节开始时再次将圣安东尼奥马刺队的分差缩小到7分，这也是他们本场比赛最接近对手的时刻。在本节比赛中，没有其他马刺球员能够帮助布拉纳姆完成逆转。
圣安东尼奥马刺队将前往西部，在明天晚上8:00（中部夏令时间）与劳里·马尔卡宁(Lauri Markkanen)和犹他爵士队进行 背靠背 的客场比赛。
万圣节快乐，马刺球迷们！

San Antonio vs. Oklahoma City, Final Score: Spurs outshot and out-defended by Thunder, 93-105
Barnes, Paul, and Branham were the bright spots on a dim evening for San Antonio
Oklahoma City (4-0), clamping down on a Spurs squad with its top-ranked defense, used an 18-2 run in the first quarter to stake itself to a comfortable lead that was not threatened in a 105-93 victory. The Thunder started white hot from three (14 first half makes), while many San Antonio forays stalled out deep in the paint with 2-3 defenders lurking nearby. Chet Holmgren got the better of his more heralded counterpart throughout much of the first half with 15 points and two blocks, while Victor Wembanyama had his worst output of the young season.
San Antonio (1-3) was led again by Jeremy Sochan (17 points and 9 rebounds) accompanied by grizzled veterans Harrison Barnes (18 points and 4 rebounds) and Chris Paul (14 points and 9 assists). The team let Wembanyama (6 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks) down by not being able to find him in advantageous spots in the halfcourt, which was not helped by him getting bogged down by his own frustrations. Malaki Branham chipped in 15 points off the bench.
The Thunder were led by Holmgren (19 points and 5 rebounds) who paced four starters in double figures - Luguentz Dort (20 points and 6 rebounds), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (18 points and 5 assists), and Jalen Williams (12 points and 8 assists) — a group that thoroughly outplayed their counterparts.
The visitors had considerable difficulty getting through the lane amidst a sea of Thunder arms, and settled for jumpers with many of them clanging off the rim. Oklahoma City’s success from three allowed them to settle into the catbird seat. While the Spurs steadied themselves and kept OKC off the boards over the last two minutes of the first, they still ended a difficult opening frame down seven.
The Thunder (editor’s note: like a bad case of dysentery - JRW) made life difficult for San Antonio at one both ends, while shooting confidently and brazenly from distance in their halfcourt offense. The Spurs’ deficit ballooned to 19 before they found a veteran line-up that could somewhat deter the hopeful contenders. Chris Paul’s timely shooting staved off OKC running away with things, but the Thunder still went to the half up 59-44.
The Thunder started the second half by attacking the basket at-will. Holmgren tagged Wembanyama with an elbow to the face on a drive, and Harrison Barnes’ fadeaway brought San Antonio within 11. Behind Barnes and Paul, the Spurs managed to impressively win the quarter 26-23 despite Oklahoma City’s astounding success from distance.
Observations
- With the stirring Celtics / Pacers tilt spilling into overtime, the Spurs / Thunder telecast started with San Antonio up 10-7.
- OKC is forcing a turnover on one of every five possessions, per Zach Kram of The Ringer. They thusly generated countless deflections and steals in triumph tonight.
- Those SATX uniforms are pretty meh.
- With the Spurs being on the national airwaves again, we (well, mainly I) need to get used to the longer television timeouts.
- It’s these type of tough road games where Barnes needs to more forcefully assert himself on the offensive end - and he ended up doing that!
- I lost count of the times that Tim Legler and Dave Pasch commented on San Antonio’s suboptimal offense.
- This might have been the first game this season that felt a little too big for Stephon Castle.
- Victor Ease: Not sure how to feel about Wembanyama stationed on the free throw line (like Dirk Nowitzki used to). While he is able to see the floor well from that perch, he can’t punish the defense with that mid-range jumper yet.
- Sequence of the Game: After Zach Collins emphatically turned away Aaron Wiggin’s dunk attempt at the start of the second period, Malaki Branham’s connected from the wing.
- In a fast-paced opening handful of minutes, the Spurs briefly held a small lead. Jalen William’s steal of Paul’s crosscourt pass and breakaway dunk drew Pop’s ire. San Antonio had trouble converting its looks from the perimeter, while Holmgren hit two early ones of his own. As the Spurs’ field goal drought spanned nine attempts, OKC extended out to a 20-10 advantage. Zach Collins’ three and a spinning lay-up by Blake Wesley fended off an early blowout. The Thunder had the Spurs down 26-19 after one.
- San Antonio managed to get a pair of shot-clock violations on OKC late in the first and at the start of the second. Wembanyama tumbled to the floor with his defender, and Jalen Williams found a streaking Holmgren for a transition dunk. A visibly frustrated and possibly injured Wembanyama went straight to the locker room. Holmgren’s three after an inbounds turnover and Ajay Mitchell’s three put the Spurs down 19. After Holmgren inexplicably tried throwing himself a lob off the backboard, Paul hit a pair of threes to bring San Antonio within ten. Paul’s third three was answered very quickly by Jalen Williams and Luguentz Dort, and the Spurs were fortunate to be down only 15 at the break.
- OKC held a lay-up parade to start the second half to match their biggest lead at 19. Julian Champagnie encouragingly hit a corner three, and Barnes’ driving dunk brought San Antonio within two touchdowns. Dort’s second uncontested three of the frame put the Thunder up 19 again. Paul hit a patented mid-range jumper and found Sochan for an acrobatic lay-up. Barnes’ wing three brought the Spurs within eight as they mounted their first serious push. After San Antonio’s finest defensive stand of the game, Keldon Johnson’s three trimmed their deficit to seven.
- Malaki Branham’s bankshot three again brought San Antonio within seven to start the fourth, which ended up being the closest that they would get. No other Spurs could help Branham mount a comeback attempt in the stanza.
San Antonio heads west for a road SEGABABA against Lauri Markkanen and the Utah Jazz tomorrow night at 8:00 PM CDT.
Happy Halloween Pounders!
