银黑军团开局不利，但在萨克拉门托艰难取胜
马刺队今晚在萨克拉门托的比赛开局非常低迷，但他们在比赛后期掌控了局面，顶住了德玛尔·德罗赞(Demar DeRozan)和德阿隆·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)的关键时刻的冲击，在客场赢得了一场激烈的比赛。文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)是全场明星，但他的队友们也表现出色，推动银黑军团在下半场发起反击，并取得了这场顽强的胜利。
文班再次拿下三双，德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)伤愈复出后也打出了他最好的比赛，得到21分，并在第四节命中了一些关键球。克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)在最后时刻也有一些精彩表现，马刺队不得不克服德罗赞在第四节中距离的出色发挥，尽管马刺队在比赛后期发起猛攻，但他仍然让国王队保持着竞争力。这是一场势均力敌、艰苦卓绝的比赛，有助于增强团队凝聚力，这对马刺队来说无疑是一个好兆头，他们将在周二前往菲尼克斯挑战太阳队，力争击败对手，确保NBA杯淘汰赛的席位。
观察
- 雅各布·托比(Jacob Tobey)在本赛季初的解说席上似乎显得有些笨拙，但在他第一个赛季还不到四分之一的时候，他似乎已经适应了，而且他与肖恩以及其他工作人员的关系看起来很融洽。他会做得很好。
- 马利克·蒙克(Malik Monk)出现在国王队的首发阵容中，并立即产生了影响。
- 第一节文班休息时，查尔斯·巴塞(Charles Bassey)替补他上场，而不是他通常的替补扎克·科林斯(Zach Collins)。巴塞陷入了犯规麻烦，而且在进攻端表现不佳，所以也许他不是最佳人选。扎克最终在第三节替补上场，表现还不错。
- 德罗赞是制造那些本该经验丰富的球员犯规的大师。令人惊讶的是，他即使被困在包围圈里，仍然能够造成犯规。这简直不可思议。
- 马刺队的防守在第一节形同虚设，国王队在12分钟后以42-28领先。
- 特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)在因伤缺席一段时间后，终于找到了一些节奏，但自从他回来后，看起来有些萎靡不振。不幸的是，他在萨博尼斯(Domantas Sabonis)一次严重的非法掩护后不得不离开比赛。
- 朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)拿着300万美元的合同，一定是联盟中最划算的球员之一。
- 马刺队错失了太多简单的上篮机会，感觉就像复活节一样。或者别的什么。他们在第二节加强了防守，看起来似乎有机会追上比分，但由于未能充分利用防守创造的机会，半场结束时以58-65落后。
- 马刺队从更衣室出来时看起来毫无生气，这促使约翰逊教练迅速叫了暂停，以防止比分失控。马刺队做出了回应，并在第三节中段以79-77反超比分，取得了本场比赛的第一次领先。
- 艾萨克·琼斯(Isaac Jones)为国王队提供了巨大的帮助，他们在第三节结束时表现强劲，以97-92领先。
- 国王队在第四节犯规次数激增，让马刺队在比赛还剩3分钟时就进入了罚球奖励状态。萨博尼斯在比赛还剩5分钟时将文班推向福克斯，几乎领到他的第六次犯规，但不知何故，在挑战后判罚被改判。
- 德罗赞在比赛后期接管了国王队的比赛，并阻止了马刺队扩大领先优势，比分一直胶着到最后几秒。保罗在比赛还剩20秒时投进的关键三分球似乎锁定了胜局，但国王队仍然紧追不舍，蒙克的三分球在比赛还剩11秒时将比分差距缩小到两分。
- 凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)罚丢了一个罚球，增加了比赛的戏剧性，但他神奇地抢到了自己的篮板，结束了比赛的悬念。保罗两罚全中，最终马刺队以127-125战胜了国王队，福克斯的压哨三分球也失去了意义。
马刺队目前徘徊在附加赛区域附近，但在周二晚上，他们将迎战太阳队，这场比赛对马刺队来说可能是几个赛季以来最重要的一场比赛。自2018-2019赛季以来，圣安东尼奥就没有进入过季后赛，他们在2022年参加了附加赛。如果马刺队能够晋级NBA杯淘汰赛阶段，对于年轻球员来说，学习如何在压力下比赛将是一次宝贵的经验。因此，周二的比赛对马刺球迷来说绝对不容错过。

San Antonio at Sacramento, Final Score: Spurs win a comeback over Kings 127-125
After a poor start, the Silver and Black eke out a win in Sacramento
The Spurs were really sluggish to start the game tonight in Sacramento, but they took over late and withstood a clutch run from Demar DeRozan and De’Aaron Fox to win a physically demanding contest on the road. Victor Wembanyama was the star, but his supporting cast played well enough to propel the Silver and Black to a second half surge and a gutty win.
Victor had another triple double, and Devin Vassell had his best game after returning from injury, scoring 21 and hitting some clutch shots in the fourth quarter. Chris Paul also made plays in the final minutes as the Spurs had to overcome a fourth quarter mid-range clutch exhibition from Demar DeRozan who kept the Kings in the contest despite the Spurs’ late surge. It was the kind of close, hard fought game that helps build team cohesion, and it can only be a good sign as the Spurs head to Phoenix on Tuesday to try to secure a spot in the NBA Cup knockout rounds by defeating the Suns.
Observations
- Jacob Tobey seemed pretty awkward in the broadcast booth at the beginning of the season, but less than 1/4th into his first year, he seems to be settling in, and his relationship with Sean and the rest of the crew seems comfortable. He’s going to be fine.
- Malik Monk was in the starting lineup for the Kings and made an instant impact.
- When Victor took a break in the first quarter, he was replaced with Charles Bassey, instead of Zach Collins, who is his usual replacement. Bassey got into foul trouble and didn’t look good on offense, so maybe he’s not the answer. Zach finally entered the game in the third quarter and was fine.
- DeRozan is the master of drawing fouls from players who ought to know better. It’s really amazing how he can be locked up inside a box and still draw a foul. It’s magical.
- The Spurs defense didn’t show up in the first quarter as the Kings led 42-28 after 12 minutes.
- Tre Jones is finally getting a little bit of rhythm after missing time to injury and looking a little lethargic since he’s been back. Unfortunately, he had to leave the game after a hard illegal screen from Sabonis.
- Julian Champagnie on a $3 million contract has got to be one of the biggest bargains in the league.
- The Spurs missed so many bunnies that it was starting to feel like Easter. Or something. They looked like they might catch up in the second quarter as they cranked up the defense knob, and trailed 58-65 at the half as they failed to take full advantage of the opportunities created by the defense.
- The Spurs looked dead coming out of the locker room, triggering a quick timeout from Coach Johnson to keep the score from getting out of hand. The Spurs responded and came back to take their first lead of the game at 79-77 halfway through the third.
- Isaac Jones provided a huge lift for the Kings as they finished the third quarter strong and led 97-92 after three.
- The Kings went foul crazy in the fourth, putting the Spurs into the bonus 3 minutes into the quarter. Sabonis almost picked up his sixth by pushing Wemby into Fox with 5 minutes left, but somehow the call was reversed on a challenge.
- Demar DeRozan took over the game late for the Kings and kept the Spurs from running away as it was close to the final seconds. A clutch triple from Chris Paul with 20 seconds left seemed to ice the game, but the Kings kept coming back, as Monk’s triple brought them within two with 11 seconds remaining.
- A missed free throw by Keldon Johnson added to the drama, but he somehow rebounded his own miss, which ended the drama as Chris Paul hit two free throws and the Spurs won 127-125 after Fox’s meaningless buzzer beating three.
The Spurs are just hanging around near the play-in range, but on Tuesday night, they will face the Suns for what could be the biggest game in several seasons for the Spurs. San Antonio hasn’t made the playoffs since the 2018-2019 season and they played in the play-in tournament in 2022. If the Spurs can advance to the NBA Cup knockout stage, it could be a valuable experience for the young guys to learn about playing under pressure. So Tuesday’s game is definitely a must-watch for Spurs fans.
