在丹佛击败掘金后，马刺一天后在圣安东尼奥差点再次击败他们。唉，最终功亏一篑。圣安东尼奥的进攻在第四节崩溃，马刺最终在加时赛中以122-111输给了掘金。
上半场比分胶着，马刺在第三节火力全开。圣安东尼奥的领先优势一度扩大到12分，主队似乎准备再次爆冷获胜。
可惜事与愿违。马刺在第四节打得像一支疲惫的球队，掘金趁机追上比分。经过双方球员的一系列关键发挥，掘金在加时赛中一举夺得胜利。
总而言之，这两场比赛对马刺来说是令人鼓舞的。他们挑战了西部联盟的劲旅，并且很有可能横扫这个两场比赛的系列赛。即使输了球，马刺也应该能够从这场比赛中学到一些教训。
数据：马刺 vs. 掘金
马刺 vs. 掘金 – 最终评分
维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)
文班亚马在与尼古拉·约基奇的对抗中连续第二场陷入犯规麻烦。虽然约基奇的数据令人印象深刻（46分、10次助攻和9个篮板），但我认为文班对他的防守相当不错——尤其是考虑到马刺并没有采取很多包夹战术。文班亚马还很好地保护了篮筐，同时抢下了职业生涯最高的23个防守篮板。在进攻端，这位二年级球员的表现既有积极的一面也有消极的一面。他三分球12投仅2中，只获得了4次罚球机会。在三分线内，他7投5中，有时看起来占据统治地位。不幸的是，人们记住文班亚马这场比赛的方式将是它的结尾。在第四节还剩大约五分钟时完成一次空中接力后，他在接下来的常规时间和整个加时赛中都未能得分。显然，为了取得成功，马刺需要文班亚马在艰难比赛的最后时刻有更好的发挥。
评分：B-
德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)
瓦塞尔仍然是个谜。自从进入首发阵容以来，他的三分球命中率一直很低。对阵丹佛的比赛也是如此。他凭借充满活力的突破和充满运动能力的终结保持了一定的进攻价值。在比赛的关键时刻，瓦塞尔有胆量出手投篮。但是，总的来说，他糟糕的投篮选择和一对一单打的倾向限制了他的价值。瓦塞尔的防守还可以，但他必须在进攻端打得更聪明，才能真正成为一支获胜球队的宝贵一员。他最终如何融入球队已经初见端倪，但他需要更加稳定。
评分：C
克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)
保罗像往常一样很好地掌控了球队。他限制了自己的失误，并在球的分配方面做得很好。遗憾的是，他这场比赛的其他方面都平淡无奇。他9投只有1中，包括几次可能会改变比赛局势的投篮不中。在防守端，保罗也比平时挣扎得多。组织球队固然有用，但这名老将控球后卫在其他重要方面都表现不佳。
评分：C-
哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)
巴恩斯是马刺的得分王，当他找到状态时，圣安东尼奥看起来状态最佳。我喜欢他在进攻端的侵略性和他在攻防两端的决策。不幸的是，并非一切都尽如人意。巴恩斯在第四节和加时赛中都没有投篮命中。他在篮板球方面几乎没有贡献，而且他在几次重要的防守回合中缺乏脚步移动速度的弱点暴露无遗。
评分：B-
杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)
由于下背部酸痛缺席了一场比赛后，索汉回到了首发阵容，但他的表现异常安静。（老实说，看起来他的背部问题限制了他的移动。）他抢到了8个篮板，但本可以抢到更多。他在26分钟内只出手了4次——不过值得称赞的是，他的命中率达到了50%。希望索汉能尽快恢复到100%的健康状态，因为这个沉默寡言的他让人很不熟悉。他的防守仍然还可以，但他缺少了往日在攻防两端的活力。
评分：C
凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)
约翰逊的努力程度绰绰有余。他在攻防两端都充满激情地拼抢篮板，身体对抗也很积极。但他缺乏进攻效率对球队产生了负面影响，一些防守失误也是如此。在索汉行动迟缓的情况下，如果约翰逊能打出一场好球就好了……但这并没有发生。
评分：C-
朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)
关于尚帕尼的表现没有什么可抱怨的。他投篮命中，获得了罚球机会，而且防守相对较好。在替补出场的9场比赛中，他的三分球命中率高达45.1%。作为替补，他的得分效率也有所提高。无论首发还是替补都能茁壮成长，这增加了尚帕尼的价值。
评分：B+
特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)
很高兴看到琼斯在得分方面有所复苏。他的9分看起来可能并不引人注目，但这比他前四场比赛的总得分还要多。他的三分球也是他一个多月以来第一次命中三分。琼斯对阵掘金的传球再次非常出色。他的防守也很稳固。如果他能重新开始得分，他的价值将会迅速提升。
评分：B+
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)
好的方面：卡斯尔命中了一个三分球，完成了一次3+1，并且送出了几次高质量的传球。我大部分时间都喜欢他的防守，而且他充满自信。这位新秀也值得称赞，因为他限制了自己的失误。不好的方面：卡斯尔在进攻端的效率仍然不足。在16分钟内出手10次，尤其事后看来，太多了。少一些强行出手，多一些耐心会更好。
评分：B-
扎克·科林斯(Zach Collins)
科林斯再次犯规过多，而且他的三分球现在看起来完全失灵了。他远距离的出手甚至都没沾到篮筐。他的终结能力还有很多不足之处，他的传球能力被隐藏了起来，他做的每件事都显得匆忙。马刺需要他们的替补中锋有更好的发挥，尤其是在文班亚马陷入犯规麻烦的夜晚。
评分：D+
查尔斯·巴塞(Charles Bassey)
教练组给了巴塞一个机会，让他作为球队的替补中锋打了一段时间。他并不比科林斯好多少。他在防守方面的经验不足显而易见，而且他在上场的4分钟内未能以任何积极的方式影响比赛。
评分：C-
米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)
一方面，约翰逊和球队都值得称赞，因为他们连续两天差点击败掘金。我认为防守端的比赛计划很好。在进攻端，如果能为文班亚马在篮下创造更多机会就更好了。然而，约翰逊在这场比赛中最大的缺点是，他让他的球队耗尽了体力。一些球员在加时赛中已经筋疲力尽，尤其是文班亚马。

Grades: San Antonio Spurs vs. Denver Nuggets – Game #35
After defeating the Nuggets in Denver, the Spurs almost beat them again a day later in San Antonio. Alas, it didn’t quite happen. San Antonio’s offense collapsed in the fourth quarter and the Spurs went on to eventually lose to the Nuggets in overtime by a final count of 122-111.
After a tight first half, the Spurs came out on fire in the third quarter. San Antonio’s advantage grew to as many as 12 points and the home team looked poised to pull off another upset win.
Sadly, that’s not what happened. The Spurs played like a tired team in the fourth period and the Nuggets were able to catch up. After a series of big plays by players on both teams, the Nuggets were able to sprint to the victory in the overtime session.
All in all, these two games have to be encouraging for the Spurs. They took on a Western Conference contender and had a very real chance of sweeping the two-game series. Even though they lost, the good guys should be able to learn a few lessons from this game.
Stats: Spurs vs. Nuggets
Spurs vs. Nuggets – Final Grades
Victor Wembanyama
Wembanyama dealt with foul trouble for a second straight game going against Nikola Jokic. While Jokic had an impressive stat line (46 points, ten assists and nine rebounds), I thought the Frenchman guarded him decently well — especially considering the Spurs weren’t sending many double teams. Wembanyama also protected the rim well while pulling down a career-high 23 defensive rebounds. Offensively, the sophomore’s outing had positives and negatives. He was only 2-for-12 from deep and only got to the line for four shots. Inside of the arc, he was 5-for-7 from the field and looked dominant at times. Unfortunately, Wembanyama’s evening will be remembered for how it ended. After finishing an alleyoop with around five minutes to go in the fourth quarter, he went scoreless the rest of regulation and all of the overtime. Obviously, the Spurs need better play from Wembanyama down the stretch of difficult games in order to succeed.
Grade: B-
Devin Vassell
Vassell continues to be a conundrum. His three-point shooting has been poor since moving into the starting lineup. That was again the case versus Denver. He retained some of his offensive value by driving to the hoop with vigor and finishing with athleticism. When the going got tough, it was Vassell who had the chutzpah to shoot the big shots. But, overall, his iffy shot-selection and tendency to go one-on-one is limiting his value. Vassell’s defense was okay but he has to play smarter offensively for him to truly become a valuable piece to a winning team. There are glimpses of how he could eventually fit but he needs more consistency.
Grade: C
Chris Paul
Paul ran the team well like usual. He limited his mistakes and did a good job of distributing the ball. Regrettably, the rest of his outing was forgettable. He was only 1-for-9 from the field, including multiple misses that could have changed the complexion of the game. Defensively, Paul also struggled a lot more than usual. Orchestrating the team is useful but the veteran point guard came up short in other important categories.
Grade: C-
Harrison Barnes
Barnes led the Spurs in scoring and San Antonio looked their best when he got rolling. I liked his aggression on offense and his decision-making on both ends. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all bluebonnets and sunshine. Barnes didn’t make a shot in the fourth quarter or in overtime. He was of little help on the boards and his lack of footspeed was painfully obvious on a handful of important defensive possessions.
Grade: B-
Jeremy Sochan
Back in the starting lineup after missing a game due to lower back soreness, Sochan was uncharacteristically quiet. (Honestly, it looked like his back issue limited his mobility.) He had eight rebounds but could have had more. He shot only four times in 26 minutes — though, to his credit, he did hit half of his shots. Hopefully Sochan can get back to 100% health soon because this muted version of him was very unfamiliar. His defense was still okay-ish but he was missing his usual level of vivacity on both ends.
Grade: C
Keldon Johnson
Johnson’s effort level was more than adequate. He passionately rebounded and he was physical on both ends. But his lack of offensive efficiency negatively impacted the team, as did a handful of defensive miscues. With Sochan slowed, it would have been helpful if Johnson had a good game … but that didn’t happen.
Grade: C-
Julian Champagnie
There’s not much to complain about regarding Champagnie’s play. He hit shots, he got to the line and he defended relatively well. In nine games off the bench, he’s shooting a sizzling 45.1% from three-point range. His scoring rate is also up as a reserve. His ability to thrive as a starter or a bench player has added to Champagnie’s value.
Grade: B+
Tre Jones
It was good to see some scoring life out of Jones. His nine points might not seem notable but that’s more points than he scored in his previous four games combined. His three-pointer was also his first make from deep in over a month. Jones’ passing was again really good against the Nuggets. His defense was also solid. If he can begin scoring again, his value will rise quickly.
Grade: B+
Stephon Castle
The good: Castle hit a three-pointer, finished off a three-point play and authored a handful of quality passes. I liked his defense for the most part and his confidence was high. The rookie also deserves credit for limiting his mistakes. The bad: Castle’s efficiency offensively was again lacking. Ten field goal attempts in 16 minutes was, especially in retrospect, too many. Less forcing the issue and more patience would have been preferred.
Grade: B-
Zach Collins
Collins again fouled too much and his three-point shot looks totally broken right now. His launches from deep aren’t even close. His finishing left much to be desired, his passing ability was hidden and he seemed rushed in everything he did. The Spurs need better play from their backup center, especially on a night when Wembanyama was saddled with foul trouble.
Grade: D+
Charles Bassey
The coaching staff gave Bassey an opportunity to play a bit as the team’s backup center. He wasn’t much better than Collins. His lack of experience on defense was apparent and he failed to impact the game in any positive manner during his four minutes on the court.
Grade: C-
Mitch Johnson
On one hand, Johnson and the team deserve credit for nearly beating the Nuggets two days in a row. I thought the gameplan was good defensively. Offensively, more plays for Wembanyama near the basket would have been appreciated. However, Johnson’s biggest flaw on this night was he allowed his team to run out of gas. A few players were running on fumes in overtime, most notably Wembanyama.
Grade: C
