文班亚马在客场胜利中拿下三双。
在如今的NBA，三天的休息时间并不常见，但这正是圣安东尼奥马刺在周日晚上所经历的。马刺开启了西海岸客场之旅，首战在萨克拉门托迎战国王。圣安东尼奥在比赛初期由于长时间休息显得有些生疏，但在接下来的三个小节中强势反弹，最终以127-125战胜萨克拉门托国王，将赛季战绩提升至11胜9负。
由于国王队的火热开局，马刺在第一节结束时以28-42落后。萨克拉门托队在攻防两端都打得非常强硬，获得了大量的空位投篮机会，而圣安东尼奥队在防守端显得力不从心。国王队在第一节的投篮命中率高达70%，三分球命中率也达到了44%。
“我在防守端没有感受到太多的身体对抗或阻力——他们显然是一支很有天赋的球队，但我们本可以做得更好，让他们更难得分，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)在赛后告诉记者。“我们在第二节和第四节加强了防守，这带来了很大的改变。”
圣安东尼奥在第二节的进攻爆发让他们重回比赛。朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)的三分球手感火热，文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)也在第二节焕发生机。尚帕尼全场命中4记三分，得到19分。马刺队的三分球为他们的进攻提供了巨大的帮助，他们全场命中23记三分，创下了队史新纪录。
圣安东尼奥队的超级巨星引领了他们的外线进攻。文班亚马命中5记三分，拿下了职业生涯的第三个三双。他在这场胜利中得到34分、14个篮板、11次助攻和3次盖帽。他在防守端也展现了强大的统治力，并在关键时刻命中了重要的投篮，帮助马刺保持领先。
国王队竭尽全力跟上马刺队的得分狂潮，尤其是在内线。他们在上半场内线得分以30-8领先圣安东尼奥，全场内线得分52-28。萨克拉门托的篮板球以51-38领先马刺，并抢下了多达21个进攻篮板。尽管赢得了身体对抗，但国王队还是无法抵挡马刺队的投篮，马刺全场投篮命中率为51.2%，三分球命中率为50%。国王队的得分王是德玛尔·德罗赞(DeMar DeRozan)，他得到了28分。
圣安东尼奥队在大部分时间都处于落后，直到第四节才扭转了局面。国王队在比赛还剩8分钟时领到了他们的第五次犯规，马刺队抓住了这个机会。圣安东尼奥队罚球24罚20中，在比赛后期命中了他们需要的罚球。
“我认为我们的犯规很不幸，”国王队主教练迈克·布朗(Mike Brown)说道。
马刺队在第四节得到了替补球员的出色表现。德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)展现了他的得分创造能力，他12投8中，高效地得到了21分。特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)在防守端制造了混乱，全场贡献了2次抢断和2次盖帽，以及7分。琼斯在第四节因多曼塔斯·萨博尼斯(Domantas Sabonis)的强硬掩护导致肩部受伤而离场。凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)在比赛的最后时刻做出了重要的贡献，包括一个关键的进攻篮板（来自文班亚马的点拨），锁定了胜局。约翰逊替补出场得到17分。
在比赛的关键时刻，马刺队选择了克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)和文班亚马的挡拆配合。保罗在比赛的最后几分钟命中了一记关键的三分球，最终成为了制胜一球。他得到了13分和10次助攻的两双数据。这位老将在球队的关键时刻表现至关重要。马刺本赛季在关键比赛中取得了5胜3负的战绩。
圣安东尼奥将在周二与菲尼克斯太阳进行一场至关重要的NBA杯赛，以此结束他们的客场之旅。如果马刺赢下这场比赛，他们将赢得小组第一，并晋级杯赛的淘汰赛阶段。

The Spurs overcome a shaky start to dethrone the Kings
Victor Wembanyama posts a triple-double in a road win.
Three days’ rest is abnormal in the modern NBA, but it’s exactly where the San Antonio Spurs found themselves on Sunday night. The Spurs hit the road for a west coast road trip that began in Sacramento for a matchup with the Kings. San Antonio showed a bit of rust from all that rest early but surged back in the final three quarters to secure a 127-125 win over the Sacramento Kings to improve to 11-9 on the season.
The Spurs found themselves in a 42-28 hole in the first quarter thanks to a hot start from the Kings. Sacramento was physical on both ends and found a load of open shots as San Antonio struggled to defend them. The Kings shot 70% from the field and 44% from three in the first quarter.
“I didn’t feel much physicality or resistance on defense – they are obviously a talented team, but we could have done a better job making them work for some stuff,” Spurs’ coach, Mitch Johnson, told reporters after the game. “We picked it up in the second and fourth quarters, and it was a big difference.”
San Antonio rode an offensive burst in the next quarter to get back into the game. Julian Champagnie got hot from three, and Victor Wembanyama came alive in the second quarter. Champagnie hit four threes in the game, scoring 19 points overall. The Spurs got a big boost offensively from the three-point line, where they hit 23 shots, a new franchise record.
San Antonio was led by their superstar from deep. Wembanyama hit five threes on his way to his third-career triple-double. He had 34 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 blocks in the win. He was a force defensively and hit huge shots down the stretch that kept the Spurs in front.
The Kings did everything they could to keep up with the Spurs scoring barrage, especially inside. They outscored San Antonio 30-8 in the paint in the first half and 52-28 throughout the game. Sacramento out-rebounded the Spurs 51-38 and had a whopping 21 offensive rebounds. Despite winning the physical battle, the Kings couldn’t overcome the Spurs’ shotmaking, as they hit 51.2% from the field and 50% from three. Sacramento was led in scoring by DeMar DeRozan with 28 points.
San Antonio trailed for most of the game until the fourth quarter. The Kings picked up their fifth foul with 8 minutes left in the game, and the Spurs took advantage. San Antonio was 20-24 from the free throw line, hitting the shots they needed to late in the game.
“I thought our fouling was unfortunate,” said Kings’ head coach, Mike Brown.
The Spurs got great performances from their bench in the fourth. Devin Vassell showed off his shot-creating ability on his way to 21 points on an efficient 8-12 shooting from the field. Tre Jones caused havoc on the defensive end, finishing the game with 2 steals and 2 blocks to go along with his 7 points. Jones left the game in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury after Domantas Sabonis hit him with a hard screen. Keldon Johnson made big plays in the game’s closing moments, including a huge offensive rebound (courtesy of a tip from Wembanyama) that sealed the game. Johnson had 17 off the bench.
When the game was on the line, the Spurs went to the pick-and-roll with Chris Paul and Wembanyama. Paul hit what eventually became the dagger on a huge pull-up three in the last minutes of the game. He had a double-double with 13 points and 10 assists. The veteran has been essential to the team’s late-game success. The Spurs are now 5-3 in clutch games this season.
San Antonio will finish its road trip with a crucial NBA Cup matchup with the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. If the Spurs win that game, they’ll win their group and advance to the elimination round of the Cup.
