圣安东尼奥遭遇背靠背比赛的第二场失利。
有人说没有所谓的“预定”失利。但从赛程安排的角度来看，在背靠背的第二场比赛中面对勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)和安东尼·戴维斯(Anthony Davis)几乎是最艰难的挑战——即使洛杉矶湖人也处于同样的境地。圣安东尼奥马刺队整晚都显得能量不足，最终以99-117输给了湖人队，赛季战绩跌至10胜9负。
圣安东尼奥开局打出9-2的比分，看起来他们有足够的能量在周二的比赛之后给湖人带来一场艰难的比赛。湖人队顶住了最初的冲击，并在第一节以32-23领先，并在接下来的比赛中一直保持领先。
马刺队在进攻端始终未能找到立足点，得分点也难以持续输出。他们的投篮命中率为42.4%，三分命中率为35%，同时出现了15次失误。文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)以20分、10个篮板和3次盖帽的数据领衔马刺，但他的投篮命中率仅为20投9中，三分球9投2中。
进攻端挣扎是一回事，但疲惫的双腿也影响了防守端。湖人队几乎予取予求，投篮命中率达到53.3%，三分命中率为38.2%。洛杉矶在内线得分上以58-42领先马刺，篮板球也以46-38胜出。圣安东尼奥在半场防守轮转中出现失误，并且在湖人队转换进攻时难以防守。
“我认为我们在比赛开始时的对抗性和信念都不够，”马刺代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)说道。“这令人失望，尤其是在对手不会给你任何机会的比赛中。”
“我们采用的是1-5红（人对人防守，无限换防）战术，因此需要很强的对抗性和沟通，我认为我们的球员在这方面执行得很好，”湖人主教练JJ·雷迪克(JJ Redick)说道。“我们很好地控制了球，没有被拉开。”
湖人的超级巨星们表现出色。勒布朗·詹姆斯砍下三双，得到16分、10个篮板和11次助攻。安东尼·戴维斯得到19分、14个篮板和7次助攻。他们在攻防两端都控制了比赛，尤其是戴维斯，他在内线占据绝对优势。
真正迎接挑战的是湖人的替补阵容。洛杉矶有7名球员得分上双。道尔顿·克奈希特(Dalton Knecht)得到20分，包括4记三分球和8个篮板。德安吉洛·拉塞尔(D’Angelo Russell)替补出场，贡献17分和5次助攻。
马刺队的侧翼球员表现出色，尤其是在第二节和第三节马刺队似乎有可能反扑的时候。德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)在因膝伤缺席5场比赛后迎来了复出首秀。他替补出场得到14分和2次抢断，三分球3投2中。
“他看起来不错，”约翰逊说。“我们知道德文能够得分并帮助我们，随着他逐渐找到自己的节奏，我们只需要继续让他融入球队的体系，我认为这不会花很长时间。”
朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)和哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)帮助马刺队在比赛进入第四节湖人队拉开比分之前一直保持着竞争力。巴恩斯三分球6投5中，得到19分。尚帕尼在进攻端为马刺队贡献了各种各样的得分方式，他攻击对手的防守漏洞并命中三分球。他12投6中，得到18分和5个篮板。
在背靠背的比赛之后，马刺队将有三天的休息时间，然后他们将在周日前往萨克拉门托挑战国王队。这是他们两场客场之旅的第一场比赛，接下来他们将在下周二与菲尼克斯太阳进行一场重要的NBA杯比赛。
“我希望（这场失利）不是一次检验，”约翰逊说。随后，他补充道，“我们开始慢慢恢复健康，所以我一两周后会告诉你（休息时间）是不是一件好事。”

Running on empty: Lakers snap lethargic Spurs winning streak
San Antonio experiences the second game of a back-to-back blues.
Some say there is no such thing as a “scheduled” loss. But facing LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the second game of a back-to-back is about as tough as it gets from a scheduling perspective – even if the Los Angeles Lakers were in the same boat. A low-energy San Antonio Spurs squad was outmatched all night as they lost to the Lakers, 117-99, falling to 10-9 on the season.
San Antonio jumped out to a quick 9-2 win and looked like they’d have the juice to give the Lakers a tough game coming off a game on Tuesday. The Lakers took that initial punch and responded by grabbing a 32-23 lead in the first, and never gave it up for the rest of the game.
The Spurs never quite found their footing offensively and struggled to find consistent production from its scorers. They shot 42.4% from the field and 35% from deep while turning the ball over 15 times. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks, but he shot just 9-20 from the field and 2-9 from deep.
Struggling on the offensive end is one thing, but those tired legs translated to the defensive end, too. The Lakers got just about whatever they wanted, shooting 53.3% from the field and 38.2% from three. Los Angeles outscored the Spurs in the paint 58-42 and out-rebounded them 46-38. San Antonio missed rotations in the half-court and struggled to guard the Lakers when they attacked in transition.
“I thought our physicality and conviction at the start of the game wasn’t there,” said Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson. “That was disappointing, especially in a game where you have an opposition that is not going to give you anything.”
“We were in 1-5 red (man-to-man defense, switching everything) so that requires a lot of physicality and communication, and I thought our guys executed that to a great level,” said Lakers head coach JJ Redick. “We did a great job of containing the basketball and not getting spread out.”
The Lakers got strong performances from their superstars. LeBron James had a triple-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists. Anthony Davis had 19 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 assists. They controlled the game on both ends, especially Davis, who was a force inside.
It was the Lakers supporting cast that really rose to the challenge. Los Angeles had 7 players score double-digit points. Dalton Knecht had 20 points, including 4 deep balls and 8 rebounds. D’Angelo Russell provided a spark off the bench with 17 points and 5 assists.
The Spurs got solid performances from their wings, particularly in the second and third quarters when it seemed the Spurs might come back. Devin Vassell played his first game since returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for 5 games. He had 14 points off the bench and 2 steals while shooting 2-3 from three.
“He looked good,” Johnson said. “We know Devin is going to be able to score and help us out as he continues to find his rhythm. We just need to continue to build him back into the fabric of the team, and I don’t think that will take long.”
Julian Champagnie and Harrison Barnes helped keep the Spurs in the game until the Lakers ran away with it in the fourth. Barnes was automatic from deep, shooting 5-6 from deep on his way to 19 points. Champagnie gave the Spurs a bit of everything offensively, attacking closeouts and connecting from three. He had 18 points and 5 rebounds on 6-12 shooting from the field.
After the back-to-back, the Spurs have three days off before they head to Sacramento for a matchup with the Kings on Sunday. It’s the first game of a two-game road trip that includes an important NBA Cup matchup against the Phoenix Suns next Tuesday.
“I would hope (the loss) is not a heat check,” Johnson said. Later, he added, “We’re starting to hopefully get a little bit healthier, so I’ll tell you in a week or two if (the time off) was a good thing.”
