马刺输给太阳，无缘NBA杯赛下一轮。
圣安东尼奥马刺队前往亚利桑那州，他们的NBA杯赛晋级希望命悬一线。如果战胜菲尼克斯太阳队，他们就能赢得小组第一，晋级淘汰赛阶段。然而，马刺队未能克服进攻端的困境，最终以93-104落败。
圣安东尼奥的进攻始终找不到节奏，尤其是在三分线外，他们44投仅8中（18.2%）。即使是良好的空位投篮机会，马刺也未能把握住。尽管如此，他们仍坚持出手三分，全场命中率仅为35%。太阳队的进攻表现也不算最佳，他们的投篮命中率为48.7%，三分球命中率为34.3%。
德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)是圣安东尼奥队的得分王，他在第四节竭尽全力试图帮助马刺队扭转局势。他14投10中，得到25分，是马刺队唯一在外线构成威胁的球员，5次三分出手命中4球。
太阳队取胜的关键在于德文·布克(Devin Booker)的出色表现，他贡献了29分、9个篮板和5次助攻。凯文·杜兰特(Kevin Durant)在第二节扭伤脚踝离场前也表现不俗，他得到了13分，其中包括两个三分球。尽管赢得了比赛，但由于俄克拉荷马城雷霆队击败了犹他爵士队，并在与太阳队的直接交锋中胜出，太阳队也被淘汰出NBA杯赛。
马刺队将返回圣安东尼奥，在周四晚上迎战芝加哥公牛队。
观察
- 杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)伤愈复出后状态出色。这位前锋拿到了两双，贡献14分和12个篮板，其中7个是进攻篮板。他的活力一如既往，并在马刺队需要的时候提供了能量。鉴于索汉看起来已经恢复到100%的状态，圣安东尼奥很难将他排除在首发阵容之外。
- 维克多·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)本场比赛表现不佳，难以找到进攻节奏。他得到15分、13个篮板和7次助攻，但投篮18投仅6中，三分球8投1中。他不断尝试远投，只有在第三节的短暂时间里，他在内线打得比较积极。当这位大个子在油漆区接到球时，圣安东尼奥的进攻开始变得流畅，但这在大部分时间里都很少见。
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)通过攻击篮筐给太阳队制造了麻烦。这位新秀通过不断冲击篮筐，并利用自己的力量和体型在内线创造角度，最终得到16分。
- 圣安东尼奥队在一段时间以来首次出现失误过多问题，全场出现14次失误。太阳队利用这些失误得到了21分。似乎每当圣安东尼奥队需要保持进攻势头时，他们都会因为失误而功亏一篑。在这样一场重要的比赛中，这样的错误会大大降低你的获胜几率。

San Antonio at Phoenix, Final Score: Suns melt the ice-cold Spurs, 104-93
The Spurs are eliminated from the NBA Cup with a loss to the Suns.
The San Antonio Spurs traveled to Arizona with their NBA Cup chances on the line. A win against the Phoenix Suns meant they would win their group, and advance to the knockout rounds. The Spurs couldn’t overcome their offensive struggles as they lost 104-93.
San Antonio never could find a rhythm offensively, especially from the three-point line where they went 8-44 (18.2%). Even good, open looks weren’t falling for the Spurs. They continued to hoist up threes regardless and finished the game shooting just 35% from the field. It wasn’t Phoenix’s best offensive game either, as they shot 48.7% from the field and 34.3% from deep.
San Antonio was led by Devin Vassell, who did everything he could to get the Spurs back in the game in the fourth quarter. He had 25 points on 10-14 shooting from the field and was the only Spur who was a threat from deep, hitting four of his five threes.
The Suns were led by a solid performance from Devin Booker, who had 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists in the victory. Kevin Durant was having a nice game before leaving the game after turning his ankle in the second quarter – he finished with 13 points including a pair of threes. Despite the win, the Suns were also eliminated from the NBA Cup, thanks to the Oklahoma City Thunder defeating the Utah Jazz, winning the head-to-head matchup with Phoenix.
The Spurs will travel back to San Antonio for their next matchup with the Chicago Bulls on Thursday Night.
Observations
- Jeremy Sochan looked great coming back from injury. The forward had a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds, 7 of which came on the offensive glass. His energy picked up right where it left off and provided a spark for the Spurs when they needed it. With Sochan looking like he’s playing at 100%, it’ll be hard for San Antonio to keep him out of the starting lineup.
- It was not a great game for Victor Wembanyama, who struggled to find any offensive rhythm. He had 15 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists but shot only 6-18 from the field and 1-8 from deep. He continued to launch shots from deep and only had a short spurt in the third quarter when he was aggressive on the interior. San Antonio’s offense started to click when the big man caught the ball in the paint, but it was a rarity for most of the night.
- Stephon Castle showed up and punished the Suns by attacking the basket. The rookie had 16 points by routinely getting to the rim and using his strength and size to create angles for himself inside.
- San Antonio struggled with turnovers for the first time in a while, coughing it up 14 times. The Suns were able to convert 21 points off those miscues. It seemed like whenever San Antonio needed to maintain a run, they’d shoot themselves in the foot with a turnover. Mistakes like that will significantly hurt your chances in an important game like this one.
