克里斯·保罗和文班亚马领衔球队客场之旅
万圣节之夜，客场作战的圣安东尼奥马刺队击败了犹他爵士队，完成了本赛季的首次背靠背比赛，取得了一胜一负的战绩。
德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)（右脚）和特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)（右脚踝）缺席了本场比赛。
劳里·马尔卡宁(Lauri Markkanen)因背部痉挛缺席了本场比赛。
爵士队开场打出9-0的攻击波后，马刺队回敬了13分，但此后进攻却陷入泥潭。首节马刺队24投仅6中，而爵士队则凭借帕蒂·米尔斯(Patty Mills)和约翰·科林斯(John Collins)的出色发挥，在节末打出一波11-0的得分高潮。
第二节开始时，爵士队以30-19领先，但客队将分差缩小到6分，这主要归功于文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)、克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)、杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)和凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)的出色表现。
易边再战，马刺队利用高效的哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)-文班亚马挡拆战术打出一波12-2的进攻高潮，奠定了内线进攻的基调。防守端，他们频频使用全场紧逼以及2-2-1联防，并且内线防守强悍，将爵士队第三节的内线命中率限制在13投4中。
第四节开始时，马刺队以77-67领先。保罗进一步组织进攻，带领球队打出了本场第二高效的进攻表现，顺利地将胜利收入囊中。
让我们回顾一下比赛的精彩瞬间。
观察
- 在前一天晚上对攻防两端影响甚微之后，文班亚马用多个三分球为马刺队打开了进攻局面。上半场，他还通过保罗的空接、补篮和朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)的助攻三次在油漆区得分。防守端，他一开始主防沃克·凯斯勒(Walker Kessler)，在一次篮下防守中被对手突破。然而，文班亚马随后很好地限制了凯斯勒，即使在协防后回位，也成功阻止了凯斯勒的进攻，并在一次挡拆进攻中送给对手大帽。他本场比赛的最佳表现包括：在爵士队的挡拆进攻中抢断布莱斯·森萨博(Brice Sensabaugh)的球，然后快攻扣篮得分；以及高高跃起封盖科林·塞克斯顿(Collin Sexton)的跳投。
- 下半场，文班亚马的挡拆防守非常稳固。他在蹲坑防守中将对手的传球挡给了巴恩斯，并在同样的防守策略下压制了凯斯勒，为巴恩斯的快攻扣篮创造了机会。
- 前马刺球员帕蒂·米尔斯在首节末段53秒内命中三个三分球，其中两个面对着不错的防守，另一个底角三分出手略晚，以此向老东家表达了敬意。除此之外，马刺队放松了对底角的保护，以干扰对手的突破。尽管如此，马刺队大部分时间都能及时回到外线进行防守。爵士队的三分球命中率仅为21.9%。
- 马刺队的远投进攻未能抓住爵士队留出的多次空位机会，这也使得内线得分更加困难。马刺队上半场三分球26投7中，下半场17投5中，内线命中率为57.5%。
- 克里斯·保罗是马刺队表现第二好的球员，第四节的比赛完全在他的掌控之中。他通过中距离投篮得到4分，命中三个三分球，并送出10次助攻，没有一次失误。
- 马刺队的替补席贡献了37分，但比对手少了13分。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)是圣安东尼奥替补席上表现最强的球员，因为他在防守端大部分时间都能有效地干扰对手的球，并且8投3中。
马刺队将于周六主场迎战明尼苏达森林狼队。比赛将于美国中部时间晚上7:00在FanDuel Sports平台播出。

San Antonio at Utah, Final Score: Spurs overwhelm the hosts in the second half, 106-88
Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama lead the club on tour
The visiting San Antonio Spurs bested the Utah Jazz on Halloween and completed its first back-to-back set of the season with a split.
Devin Vassell (right foot) and Tre Jones (right ankle) were absent for the Spurs.
Lauri Markkanen was out (back spasms) for the Jazz.
The Spurs countered a 9-0 opening Jazz run with 13 points, but the offense was stuck in the mud the rest of the frame. They only made six of 24 baskets as the Jazz punished them with 11 straight digits close to the period from Patty Mills and John Collins.
The second quarter started with the Jazz up 30-19, but the visitors managed to cut it to six points, mainly thanks to action from Victor Wembanyama, Chris Paul, Jeremy Sochan and Keldon Johnson.
Then, the Spurs came out of the break running a fruitful Harrison Barnes-Wembanyama pick-and-roll play that set the tone of going inside on a 12-2 run. Defensively, they flashed the regular full-court press plus the 2-2-1 and the paint protection was strong, holding Utah to four of 13 makes in the interior for the third frame.
The fourth quarter started with the Spurs ahead 77-67. Paul further organized the offense to the second-sharpest shooting sequence of the game as the team coasted to the finish line.
Let’s review what happened.
Observations
- On a night after making a very low impact on both sides, Victor Wembanyama uncorked the offense for the Spurs with multiple 3-pointers. He also scored thrice in the square in the first half on a lob set up by Paul, plus on a putback and on a feed by Julian Champagnie. Defensively, he started guarding Walker Kessler, getting beat on a rim roll. Yet, Wembanyama checked him well and denied him even when recovering from helping a teammate stop the ball and rejected a pick-and-roll set at the cup. His best plays of the game were coming up on the Jazz’s PnR and stripping the ball from Brice Sensabaugh then finishing a dunk on the break; and staying high and blowing up Collin Sexton’s jump shot.
- In the second half, Wembanyama’s pick-and-roll defense was solid. He deflected an opposing pass to Barnes in drop coverage and stifled Kessler in the same scheme, which set up a Barnes open-court dunk.
- Former Spur Patty Mills sent his regards, splashing three triples in 53 seconds at the end of first interval against two decent challenges and one slightly late in the corner. On top of that, the Spurs loosened up corner protections to bother dribble penetration. Still, the Spurs recovered on time for the most part to the perimeter on the catch. The Jazz only converted 21.9 percent of hoisted 3-pointers.
- The Spurs’ long range attack wasn’t able to capitalize on various instances the Jazz left them open to also make inside scoring harder. The Silver and Black registered seven of 26 first-half trifectas, 5 of 17 in the second half and made 57.5 percent of attempts in the paint.
- Chris Paul was the second-best Spur, and his fingerprints are all over the fourth quarter. He maneuvered to the mid-range for four baskets, swished three 3-pointers, and set up 10 plays without one turnover.
- The Spurs’ bench provided a boost of 37 points, but was outscored by 13. Stephon Castle was the strongest San Antonio reserve because he bothered the ball mostly well on defense and connected on three of eight looks.
The Spurs will return home on Saturday to face the Minnesota Timberwolves. Tip off will be at 7:00 PM CT on FanDuel Sports.
