圣安东尼奥的进攻在背靠背的第二场比赛中再次哑火。
周五晚上，文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在圣安东尼奥马刺对阵洛杉矶湖人的比赛第四节与安东尼·戴维斯相撞导致膝盖受伤。那一刻注定了马刺在背靠背第二场对阵达拉斯独行侠的比赛中的命运。文班亚马和德文·瓦塞尔缺席了比赛，独行侠以110-93击败了马刺。
独行侠利用马刺缺少这位7尺3寸盖帽高手的优势，统治了油漆区。达拉斯在内线得分以56-32领先圣安东尼奥，篮板球也以53-45胜出。丹尼尔·加福德在他18分钟的替补出场时间里表现出色，得到22分、7个篮板和3次盖帽。尽管内线挣扎，扎克·科林斯依然以20分（其中8分来自罚球）、6个篮板和3次盖帽领衔马刺得分。
圣安东尼奥的进攻整体表现不佳，他们的投篮命中率仅为31.8%，三分球命中率为27.5%。他们将失误控制在12次，但仍然无法创造足够的进攻来与达拉斯抗衡。
马刺将在接下来的几个晚上得到休息，然后在周二的第二场NBA杯比赛中迎战俄克拉荷马城雷霆。在圣安东尼奥下一场比赛之前，我们应该会对文班和瓦塞尔的状态有更多了解。
观察
- 查尔斯·巴塞(Charles Bassey)在文班缺阵的情况下获得了第一次长时间上场的机会。这是一场有高有低的比赛，在防守端有一些亮点。巴塞在他21分钟的出场时间里没有得分，但抢下了6个篮板和3次盖帽。
- 对于斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)来说，这是一场进攻端表现不稳定的比赛，但他的防守依然出色。他得到12分、4个篮板、3次助攻和2次抢断。卡斯尔在无球端极具破坏性，并且在面对像卢卡·东契奇和凯里·欧文这样的强力进攻对手时也能稳住阵脚。这种防守能力是这位新秀即使在得分低迷的夜晚也能继续做出贡献的关键。
- 马刺在文班和瓦塞尔之外的进攻创造力仍然是一个问题。除了投篮不中之外，他们在进攻端很难创造优势。圣安东尼奥在这场失利中只有21次助攻。
- 特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)伤愈复出后在替补席上表现稳健。由于文班和瓦塞尔的缺席，他被要求承担更多的进攻任务，但这未必是他最有效率的角色。琼斯替补出场得到3分和4次助攻。随着他融入到拥有更多得分手的阵容中，预计他作为场上指挥官和节奏掌控者的表现会更好。

San Antonio vs. Dallas, Final Score: Shorthanded Spurs lose to Mavericks 110-93
San Antonio’s offense sputters in second-straight loss.
On Friday night, Victor Wembanyama banged knees with Anthony Davis in the fourth quarter of the San Antonio Spurs game against the Los Angeles Lakers. That moment sealed the Spurs’ fate in the second game of a back-to-back against the Dallas Mavericks. Wembanyama and Devin Vassell missed the game, and the Mavericks beat the Spurs 110-93.
The Mavs took advantage of the Spurs’ lack of their 7-foot-3 shot blocker by dominating the painted area. Dallas outscored San Antonio 56-32 in the paint and out-rebounded them 53-45. Daniel Gafford was a force in his 18 minutes off the bench, scoring 22 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, and erasing 3 shots at the rim. Despite the interior struggles, Zach Collins led the Spurs in scoring with 20 points (8 of which came on free throws) and added in 6 rebounds and 3 blocks.
San Antonio’s offense struggled overall, as they shot just 31.8% from the field and 27.5% from deep. They managed to keep the turnovers low with just 12, but couldn’t create enough offense to stick around with Dallas.
The Spurs will get a few nights off before taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder in their second NBA Cup game on Tuesday. We should know more about Wembanyama and Vassell’s status in the days before San Antonio’s next contest.
Observations
- Charles Bassey got his first shot at extended minutes with Wembanyama out. It was an up-and-down performance with some defensive highs. Bassey failed to score in his 21 minutes but grabbed 6 rebounds and blocked 3 shots.
- It was an uneven offensive game for Stephon Castle, but his defense remained stellar. He had 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Castle was disruptive off the ball and held his own against tough offensive matchups like Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. That defensive ability is key to the rookie continuing to contribute even when he’s having an off-scoring night.
- The Spurs’ offensive creation outside of Wemby and Vassell remains an issue. They struggled to create advantages on the offensive end on top of missing shots. San Antonio only had 21 assists in the loss.
- Tre Jones was solid off the bench in his return from injury. He was asked to carry more of an offensive load with Wembanyama and Vassell sitting out, which isn’t necessarily his most effective role. Jones had 3 points and 4 assists off the bench. As he settles into lineups with more scorers, expect him to look better as a floor general and pace-setter.
