数据统计：马刺对阵掘金
马刺对阵掘金 – 最终评分
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)
文班亚马又打出了一场精彩的比赛。他的投篮选择很明智， resulting in a stunningly efficient night from the field. 他很好地把握住了得分机会，利用错位优势强势得分，并命中了一些关键的三分球。在投篮方面，文班亚马简直就像一个 certified monster。虽然他的传球也不错，但他的进攻表现却被 8 次失误所掩盖。这些失误主要是由于粗心大意造成的。在防守端，文班亚马的表现相当出色。他的篮板球就像着了魔一样，而且随着比赛的进行，他的状态似乎越来越好。这位法国人虽然遭遇了犯规麻烦，但他还是能够在比赛后期留在场上，并 spearhead a handful of key stops。总而言之，虽然文班亚马远非完美无瑕，但这 still an epic effort that exhibited exciting growth in his game.
评分：A-
德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell)
优点：瓦塞尔 12 次两分球出手命中了一半。他送出了不少高质量的传球。他命中了关键投篮，并在关键的防守回合中发挥了重要作用。我喜欢他在攻防两端展现出的活力。缺点：瓦塞尔的投篮选择有时有些问题。尽管他有 6 次助攻，但他错过了三四次本该传出的球。瓦塞尔前四次罚球错失三次的表现也不太好。总的来说，他需要继续专注于打团队篮球。
评分：B-
克里斯·保罗 (Chris Paul)
虽然保罗在处理丹佛队外线的体型和运动能力方面遇到了一些问题，但他在这场令人印象深刻的胜利中发挥了重要作用。在进攻端，虽然他只投中了三个球，但这三个进球都非常及时。在组织进攻和传球方面，保罗几乎完美无瑕。在防守端，保罗积极拼抢，并贡献了 8 个篮板。这位 39 岁的老将继续教导这支年轻的球队如何在关键时刻保持镇定并取得胜利。
评分：B+
哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)
对巴恩斯来说，这是一场不寻常的比赛。他三个三分球全部投失，但仍然打出了一场稳健的比赛。他通过冲击篮筐得分，传球比平时更好，防守也比平时更有活力。此外，巴恩斯整场比赛没有出现失误或犯规。总的来说，很高兴看到他在不依赖三分球的情况下对比赛产生了积极的影响。
评分：B
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)
卡斯尔的投篮看起来很糟糕，但我喜欢他不断出手尝试。他需要提高命中率才能发挥出自己的潜力，但这位新秀至少没有胆怯。卡斯尔在得分和传球方面都做得足够好，让掘金队不得不重视他。我喜欢他的防守，而且他在攻防两端都避免了代价高昂的失误。
评分：B-
凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)
马刺队在第二节以 28-22 领先掘金队，这很大程度上要归功于约翰逊的表现。他在第二节 7 投 5 中得到 13 分，其中包括三个三分球。当约翰逊投篮状态良好并充满活力地突破时，他很难被阻挡。不幸的是，他本赛季的外线投篮一直不稳定。除了第二节，约翰逊在最后一节完成一次老式三罚全中之前几乎没有做出任何贡献。不过值得称赞的是，我认为他整晚的防守都出奇的稳固。
评分：B
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie)
和约翰逊一样，尚帕尼也一度状态火热，足以carry球队。尚帕尼的闪光时刻出现在第一节，他在 6 分钟内得到 9 分。这股能量帮助圣安东尼奥保持了活力。尚帕尼在随后的比赛中又投中了两个三分球。他拉开空间和成为外线得分利器的能力对这支球队非常宝贵。
评分：B+
特雷·琼斯 (Tre Jones)
是的，又是一场典型的特雷·琼斯式的比赛。得分不多，但他很好地推进了比赛节奏，传出了正确的球，并在防守端努力拼搏。琼斯现在的打法并不华丽，但他通过做出正确的决定，仍然是一名有积极影响的球员。
评分：B-
扎克·科林斯 (Zach Collins)
和文班亚马一样，科林斯大部分时间都不得不克服犯规麻烦。尽管有这个麻烦，这位替补中锋的表现还不错。他抢篮板，防守合理，即使在情况变得艰难时也一直在努力拼搏。当这位超级二年级生坐在替补席上时，球队想念文班亚马，但科林斯的表现还算合格。
评分：B
米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson)
约翰逊的执教很聪明。他把球传到了文班亚马的有利位置。我总体上喜欢他的轮换阵容。他也避免了因犯规麻烦而可能造成的恐慌。约翰逊在比赛最后阶段的执教尤其令人印象深刻。他在正确的时间做出了正确的选择，帮助圣安东尼奥赢得了这场胜利。

Grades: San Antonio Spurs at Denver Nuggets – Game #34
The San Antonio Spurs notched one of their most impressive wins of the season on Friday night by defeating the Denver Nuggets by a final score of 113-110. Playing on the road, the Spurs closed strong to improve their record to 18-16. The loss dropped the Nuggets to 19-14.
Coming out of the gates, the Spurs looked strong. San Antonio led for a vast majority of the first half. The Nuggets battled back in the third quarter and then the two teams fought in the fourth period. The Spurs could have folded a few times but they kept executing and ended up getting enough stops at the end to eke out the victory.
The good guys have to be very pleased with how they played — particularly in crunch time. Being able to win these types of close games is the difference between being a playoff team and a lottery team.

Spurs at Nuggets – Final Grades
Victor Wembanyama
It was another great game by Wembanyama. His shot-selection was smart, which resulted in a stunningly efficient night from the field. He picked his spots well, bullied mismatches and knocked in some big time three-pointers. Wembanyama simply looked like a certified monster when it came to shooting the ball. While he also passed it well, his offensive performance was marred by his eight turnovers. Those miscues were mostly a matter of carelessness. Defensively, Wembanyama was pretty damn good. He rebounded like a man possessed and seemed to get better and better as the night progressed. The Frenchman dealt with foul trouble but he was able to stay in the game late and spearhead a handful of key stops. All in all, while Wembanyama was far from flawless, it was an epic effort that exhibited exciting growth in his game.
Grade: A-
Devin Vassell
The good: Vassell hit half of his 12 two-point attempts. He authored more than his share of quality passes. He hit timely shots and played an important role in timely stops. I liked how much moxie he played with on both ends of the court. The bad: Vassell’s shot-selection was iffy at times. And even though he had six assists, he missed three or four passes he needed to make. Vassell missing three of his first four free throws wasn’t a good look. Overall, he needs to keep concentrating on playing a team-first brand of basketball.
Grade: B-
Chris Paul
While Paul had some issues dealing with Denver’s length and athleticism on the perimeter, he played an important role in this impressive win. Offensively, while he only hit three shots, each of those three makes were timely. When it came to running the show and making the right pass, Paul was virtually flawless. On defense, Paul competed and he helped the cause by grabbing eight boards. The 39-year-old continues to teach this young squad how to stay composed and thrive in money time.
Grade: B+
Harrison Barnes
This was an unusual outing for Barnes. He missed all three of his longballs but still managed to have a solid affair. He made shots going to the rim, he passed the ball better than normal and his defense was more lively than usual. Additionally, Barnes finished the game without a turnover or a foul. Net-net, it was good to see him have a positive impact on the game without relying on three-point shooting.
Grade: B
Stephon Castle
Castle’s shooting looked ugly but I liked that he kept firing attempts. He needs to hit at a higher percentage to reach his potential but the rookie at least isn’t timid. Castle did enough to keep the Nuggets locked in on him — both scoring-wise and passing-wise. I liked his defense and he avoided costly errors on both sides of the ball.
Grade: B-
Keldon Johnson
The Spurs outscored the Nuggets 28-22 in the second quarter in large part due to Johnson’s play. He had 13 points in the second on 5-for-7 shooting from the field, including a trio of triples. When Johnson is shooting well and driving with adrenaline, he’s difficult to stop. Unfortunately, his outside shot has been off this season. Outside of the second quarter, Johnson didn’t do much of anything until an old fashioned three-point play in the final stanza. To his credit, though, I thought his defense was surprisingly stout for much of the evening.
Grade: B
Julian Champagnie
Like Johnson, Champagnie got hot enough to carry the squad. Champagnie’s time to shine came in the first period when he scored nine points in six minutes. That boost helped San Antonio keep things humming. Champagnie would later go on to knock down two more three-pointers later in the game. His ability to space the court and be a go-to perimeter assassin is very valuable to this team.
Grade: B+
Tre Jones
Yep, another Tre Jones-esque game from Tre Jones. Not much scoring but he’s pushing the pace well, making the right pass and hustling on defense. Jones isn’t playing flashy at all right now but he’s remaining a positive impact player by stacking up correct decisions.
Grade: B-
Zach Collins
Like Wembanyama, Collins had to survive foul trouble for the majority of the game. Despite that bothersome subplot, the backup center did okay. He rebounded, he defended reasonably well, and kept scratching and clawing even when the circumstances got tough. The team missed Wembanyama when the superstar sophomore was on the bench but Collins held up adequately well.
Grade: B
Mitch Johnson
A lot of smart coaching from Johnson. He got the ball to Wembanyama at advantageous spots. I liked the rotation for the most part. He also avoided panicking that could have been caused by foul trouble. Johnson’s coaching down the stretch of the game was particularly impressive. He pushed the right buttons at the right times to help San Antonio capture this W.
