文班和卡斯尔闪耀全场，马刺队在 NBA 杯赛中保持活力。
圣安东尼奥马刺队在与犹他爵士队的比赛中迎来了继续保持 NBA 杯赛晋级希望以及延续连胜势头的机会。凭借着队内超级球星和新秀的出色表现，他们以 128-115 击败了爵士队。
维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在攻防两端都展现出了统治力，砍下全场最高的 34 分，外加 7 个篮板和 3 次盖帽。他的新搭档，也是“51 区”组合的另一半，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)得到 23 分和 5 次助攻，追平了他职业生涯的得分纪录。这对崭露头角的二人组得到了朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)和克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)等人的支持，他们在第四节打出一波进攻高潮，压制了爵士队，并为马刺队赢得了比赛。
这场胜利使马刺队在 NBA 杯赛西区 B 组中保持第二名的位置。他们需要洛杉矶湖人队输给菲尼克斯太阳队才有机会从小组出线。如果太阳队在周二获胜，那么下周马刺队和太阳队的胜者很可能会决定该小组的最终胜者。
圣安东尼奥马刺队将于周三晚前往洛杉矶挑战湖人队，两队都将进行背靠背的第二场比赛。
赛后观察：
- 马刺队的四连胜是他们自 2022 年 3 月以来的最长连胜。圣安东尼奥在 2021-2022 赛季末凭借这一波连胜获得了附加赛的资格。今年的马刺队正在努力争取再次获得附加赛的机会。
- 扎克·科林斯(Zach Collins)在上半场仅出场 6 分钟且未能得分后，下半场被安排在了替补席上。马刺队代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)选择让查尔斯·巴塞(Charles Bassey)在下半场担任文班亚马的替补。两位球员的表现都不是特别出色，但巴塞在替补席上提供了一些对抗强度。巴塞在 5 分钟内得到 2 分和 2 个篮板。
- 尚帕尼选择了一个绝佳的时机找到了他的三分球手感。他在关键时刻命中了三个三分球，帮助马刺队拉开了比分。他全场得到 15 分，三分球 9 投 4 中。
- 马刺队抢下了 13 个进攻篮板，其中许多都是在关键时刻抢到的。在比赛的最后阶段，长篮板都落入了马刺队的手中，他们几乎赢下了每一次的争抢球。圣安东尼奥在最合适的时机提升了他们的强度，并在第四节锁定胜局。
- 桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利(Sandro Mamukelashvili)贡献了精彩的出场时间，尤其是在第四节。在 12 分钟的出场时间里，马穆 4 投 4 中，得到 9 分。在整个连胜期间，他都参与了一些马刺队的积极进攻回合，很明显教练组喜欢他在文班亚马身边带来的场上作用。
- 圣安东尼奥的防守在第四节非常出色，这是他们打出制胜一击的关键因素。爵士队出现了 21 次失误。马刺队充分利用了这些失误，得到了 33 分。圣安东尼奥整晚都很好地干扰了爵士队的进攻，贡献了 12 次抢断和 4 次盖帽。

San Antonio vs. Utah, Final Score: Spurs beat Jazz in fourth straight win, 128-115
Wembanyama and Castle shine as Spurs stay alive in the NBA Cup.
The San Antonio Spurs came into their matchup against the Utah Jazz with their NBA Cup chances on the line and an opportunity to extend their winning streak. They got a strong performance from their superstar and rookie as they defeated the Jazz 128-115.
Victor Wembanyama showed up on both ends, scoring a game-high 34 points while adding in 7 rebounds and 3 blocks. His rising partner in crime and the second half of the “Area 51” nickname, Stephon Castle, had 23 points and 5 assists, matching his career-high in scoring. The budding duo was supported by the likes of Julian Champagnie and Chris Paul on a fourth-quarter run that stifled the Jazz and won the game for the Spurs.
With the win, the Spurs stay in second place in West Group B for the NBA Cup. They’ll need the Los Angeles Lakers to lose to the Phoenix Suns to have a chance to advance out of their group. If Phoenix wins on Tuesday, the winner of the Spurs and Suns next week will likely decide the winner of the group.
San Antonio will travel to Los Angeles for a matchup with the Lakers on Wednesday night, where both teams will be playing the second game of a back-to-back.
Observations:
- The Spurs’ four-game winning streak is their longest since March of 2022. San Antonio rode that hot stretch at the end of the 2021-2022 season to a play-in appearance. This year’s Spurs are fighting for a chance to get back there this season.
- Zach Collins was relegated to the bench in the second half after playing just 6 minutes in the first half and failing to score a basket. Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson elected to go with Charles Bassey as Wembanyama’s backup in the second half. Neither player was particularly effective, but Bassey provided some physicality off the bench. Bassey finished with 2 points and 2 rebounds in 5 minutes.
- Champagnie picked a great time to get hot from three. He hit three deep balls down the stretch to help the Spurs pull ahead. The wing finished with 15 points while shooting 4-9 from three.
- Spurs grabbed 13 offensive rebounds, many of them in the clutch. Long rebounds landed in the Spurs’ hands as they beat the Jazz to nearly every 50-50 ball down the stretch. San Antonio ratcheted up their intensity at the perfect time to seal a win in the fourth quarter.
- Sandro Mamukelashvili gave great minutes, especially in the fourth quarter. In 12 minutes, Mamu was a perfect 4-4 from the field, scoring 9 points. He’s been a part of some positive Spurs runs throughout this winning streak, and it’s obvious that the coaching staff likes what he brings to the court alongside Wembanyama.
- San Antonio’s defense was swarming in the fourth quarter and was a big part of what set them on their game-winning run. The Jazz turned the ball over 21 times. The Spurs took advantage, scoring 33 points off those giveaways. San Antonio did a good job of disrupting the Jazz offense for most of the night with 12 steals and 4 blocks.
