马刺在波特兰完成了一场激动人心的逆转，但在主场输给了森林狼，进攻表现低迷。
欢迎来到“周回顾”：这是一个周一发布的专题，回顾 *圣安东尼奥马刺 * 过去一周的表现，展望未来一周的赛程等等。敬请欣赏！
第7周 : 伤病、糟糕的防守和不稳定的三分球命中率导致马刺在一周相对轻松的赛程中仅取得1胜3负的战绩，并被淘汰出NBA杯赛（这或许是因祸得福）。
第8周：1胜1负 (13胜13负，西部第11)
118-116 战胜 @ 波特兰开拓者
回顾 : 马刺本就因伤缺席了四名轮换球员，在第一节克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)因与裁判争论被驱逐出场后，他们雪上加霜。在经历了糟糕的第三节后，马刺在第四节初落后17分，似乎已经无力回天。但突然之间，他们找到了感觉，完成了一场大逆转。朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)的几个三分球吹响了反击的号角，文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)的关键罚球锁定胜局。
92-106 负于 明尼苏达森林狼
回顾 : 与前一周的两场主场失利类似，当三分球失准时，马刺的进攻就会陷入困境。本场比赛，面对森林狼坚固的防守，马刺的进攻表现低迷。除了第三节的短暂爆发让比赛一度充满悬念外，马刺始终无法得到足够的分数来掌控比赛，最终在第四节崩盘。

马刺上周一胜一负，仍然徘徊在西部附加赛区域之外。查看上周两场比赛数据
三个要点
马刺上周81个进球中有66个来自助攻，助攻率高达71.3%，这是过去21个赛季所有球队中的最高值（超过了他们上赛季71.2%的纪录）。
由克里斯·保罗、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)、朱利安·尚帕尼、哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)和文班亚马组成的阵容每百回合净胜对手18.4分。在出场时间至少达到150分钟的15套阵容中，这是第二好的数据。但周日卡斯尔复出后，他自11月4日以来首次替补出场，由索汉(Jeremy Sochan)顶替他首发。索汉的首发阵容表现不错（13.2分钟内净胜12分），但卡斯尔和德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)的替补表现糟糕（两人合计19投3中）。
瓦塞尔本赛季的有效命中率（56.5%）仍然是他职业生涯的最佳数据。但马刺在他出场的271分钟里每百回合净负17.5分，这个数字在他与文班亚马共同出场的125分钟里甚至更糟（每百回合净负20.5分，进攻乏力）。
马刺是仅有的三支只与另一分区球队交手过两场的球队之一（另外两支是黄蜂和开拓者）。他们将于周四主场迎战老鹰，上赛季他们与老鹰的两场比赛均告负。
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points — 19 (上周: 19)
本赛季西部的一匹黑马是圣安东尼奥马刺，这支年轻的球队正在崛起。文班亚马正朝着他的首次全明星之旅迈进，马刺队也在克里斯·保罗和哈里森·巴恩斯的带领下不断进步。随着德文·瓦塞尔与保罗和文班的磨合时间增加，他也将成为这支球队的一个亮点。
即将到来: 12月19日 周四 vs. 亚特兰大老鹰; 12月21日 周六 vs. 波特兰开拓者
预测：2胜0负 — 我知道这可能会被打脸，但还是预测一下。主场对阵开拓者应该是一场预定的胜利，但与老鹰的比赛就很有意思了。经过一段时间的休整，马刺应该会在几天后更接近全员健康（在对阵森林狼的比赛前，只有凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)被列为“缺席”，而不是“每日观察”），如果说有一支球队是马刺有动力去击败的，那就是老鹰，因为马刺拥有他们2025年的首轮签，且没有任何限制条件。
问题是？老鹰的表现超出预期，过去10场比赛赢了7场，目前位列东部第7。现在，同样处于上升期的马刺队正着眼于两个中段首轮签，而不是在一个备受期待的选秀年中至少获得一个靠前的签位，所以他们至少可以做的是尽自己所能把老鹰的排名往下拉。（而且不，如果老鹰最终“太好”了，我不希望他们自己摆烂来提高自己的选秀顺位。他们现在太优秀了，不至于这么做。）

Week in Review: Short week brings mixed results for shorthanded Spurs
The Spurs won a thrilling comeback in Portland but lost at home to the T-wolves behind a timid offensive performance.
Welcome to the Week in Review: a Monday feature that looks back at the week that was for the San Antonio Spurs, takes a look at the week ahead, and more. Enjoy!
Week 7: Injuries, poor defense, and fleeting three-point shooting led to a disappointing 1-3 week and elimination from the NBA Cup Tournament (which may have been a blessing in disguise) despite a friendly schedule.
Week 8: 1-1 (13-13, 11th in West)
118-116 win @ Portland Trail Blazers
Recap: Already down four rotation players to injury, the Spurs soon lost another in Chris Paul after he was ejected in the first quarter for arguing with the officials. After a horrid third quarter, it seemed like they just didn’t have enough personnel as they got down by 17 a few minutes into the fourth quarter, but everything suddenly clicked as they pulled off a massive comeback, kicked off by a few Julian Champagnie threes and sealed by clutch Victor Wembanyama free throws.
92-106 loss vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Recap: Similar to their two home losses the week before, when the threes stop falling, the Spurs’ offense struggles. That was the case in this game with a lethargic offensive display against an admittedly strong Wolves defense. Outside of a third quarter outburst to briefly make the game interesting, the Spurs just couldn’t score enough to ever gain control before the game finally got out of hand in the fourth quarter.

The Spurs remain just outside the Play-In Tournament group in the West, having split their two games last week.
Three takeaways
Having recorded 66 assists on their 81 field goals last week, the Spurs have an assist rate of 71.3%, the highest rate for any team in the last 21 seasons (topping their mark of 71.2% last season).
The Spurs’ lineup of Chris Paul, Stephon Castle, Julian Champagnie, Harrison Barnes and Victor Wembanyama has outscored opponents by 18.4 points per 100 possessions. That is the second-best mark among 15 lineups that have played at least 150 minutes. But when Castle returned from a one-game absence on Sunday, he came off the bench for the first time since Nov. 4, with Jeremy Sochan starting in his place. The Sochan lineup was good (plus-12 in 13.2 minutes), but bench minutes from Castle and Devin Vassell (who combined to shoot 3-for-19) were rough.
Vassell’s effective field goal percentage for the season (56.5%) is still the best mark of his career. But the Spurs have been outscored by a brutal 17.5 points per 100 possessions in his 271 minutes on the floor, and that number is even worse (minus 20.5 per 100 with anemic offense) in his 125 minutes alongside Wembanyama.
The Spurs are one of three teams — the Hornets and Blazers are the other — that have played just two games against the opposite conference. They’ll host the Hawks on Thursday, having lost both meetings with Atlanta last season.
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points— 19 (last week: 19)
One of the surprise teams in the West this season has been the San Antonio Spurs, a younger team that is on the rise. Victor Wembanyama is heading to his first All-Star Game, and the Spurs continue to evolve under the leadership of Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes. As Devin Vassell gets more time next to Paul and Wemby, he too will blossom into a bright spot for this organization.
Coming up: Thurs. 12/19 vs. Atlanta Hawks; Sat. 12/21 vs. Portland Trail Blazers
Prediction: 2-0 — I’m setting myself up to get burned again, but here we go. A home game against Portland should be a scheduled win, but the Hawks game is interesting. With another extended break, the Spurs figure to be closer to full strength in a few days (with only Keldon Johnson still listed as “out” as opposed to “day-to-day” before the Timberwolves game), and if there’s one team the Spurs have incentive to beat, it’s the Hawks due to owning their 2025 first round pick outright with no restrictions.
The problem? Atlanta is overachieving, having won 7 of their last 10 and currently sitting in East’s 7th seed. Right now, the Spurs, who are on the rise themselves, are looking at two mid first-round picks instead of at least one early pick in what figures to be a highly anticipated class, so the least they can do is play what minimal role they can in knocking the Hawks back down a tier. (And no, I don’t want them to tank themselves to improve their own pick if the Hawks end up being too “good”. They’re too good for that, too.)
