圣安东尼奥马刺队领先了 47 分钟以上，但芝加哥公牛队的逆转最终以科比·怀特的抛投和扣篮结束
扎克·拉文(Zach LaVine)和科比·怀特(Coby White)的后卫组合帮助芝加哥在最后 2 分半钟内发起猛烈反击，抹平了马刺 19 分的领先优势，并惩罚了他们在下半场糟糕的表现，延续了他们近期客场糟糕的收尾。克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)在第三节的个人 7-0 攻势和第四节的 7-2 攻势（包括第四节的三个关键跳投以及一个关键的进攻篮板）不足以阻止公牛队的胜利。
文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)（23 分、14 个篮板和 8 次盖帽）帮助圣安东尼奥在上半场取得了 15 分的领先优势。但除了保罗（18 分和 9 次助攻）在下半场的出色表现外，在关键时刻几乎没有其他球员提供支持。尽管他们在前 18 次得分中有 16 次来自助攻（总共 44 次得分中有 31 次来自助攻），但他们的进攻执行力在第四节大部分时间里停滞不前。
芝加哥的首发球员贡献了全队 114 分中的 100 分，主要由拉文的进攻爆发（35 分、10 个篮板和 8 次助攻）、怀特的火力（23 分和 4 次抢断）以及尼古拉·武切维奇(Nikola Vucevic)的稳定表现（24 分和 11 个篮板）所带领。
观察
- 《The Ringer》的迈克尔·皮纳(Michael Pina)列出了“本赛季进步最小的”NBA 球员。没有马刺球员上榜或获得提名（约翰逊先生和科林斯先生可以放心了），但公牛队的帕特里克·威廉姆斯(Patrick Williams)上榜了。
- 看着今晚的首发阵容，我想起了布林·福布斯(Bryn Forbes)在首发阵容中的日子，我不得不像电影《盗梦空间》那样提醒自己身在何处。
- Portillo’s 的“第四节香肠”（主场球迷在马刺连续两次投失后可获得免费热狗）促销活动轻松跻身联盟前五。凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)的两次投失为联合中心感激的观众送上了免费的热狗。
- 我刚刚注意到球场上总共有五个公牛队的标志。（扎克·洛维(Zach Lowe)的语气）“ *我们最多只需要看到三个。 *”
- 我喜欢现场播音员以“来自北卡罗来纳州……（怀特——提示《The Price is Right》失败的音效）”开头——因为这是 80 年代和 90 年代介绍迈克尔·乔丹(Michael Jordan)的方式。
- 德文（至少是防守端的）功绩： 德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)像丹尼·格林(Danny Green)附体一般，追上了飞奔的拉文，并盖掉了他的扣篮尝试，这激怒了这位前扣篮大赛冠军。瓦塞尔后来在第四节末段在篮筐处完成了一次盖帽，阻止了芝加哥的得分。
- 比赛精彩片段 #1： 在第一节初期，瓦塞尔抢断了一次公牛队的传球失误，并晃过防守球员命中一记跳投。
- 比赛精彩片段 #2： 在首节末段，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)巧妙地找到了朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)完成一次侧翼三分球后不久，他接到了特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)（他刚刚断掉了公牛的另一次传球失误）的传球，完成了一记风车扣篮！
- 比赛精彩片段 #3： 在文班亚马命中压哨三分，让武切维奇恼怒不已之后，瓦塞尔顶住了一名公牛球员并抢断了球。他及时地将球传给了文班亚马，后者完成了一次快攻扣篮。
- 轻松战胜武切维奇： 在他的第一次突破中，武切维奇认为他在篮下击败了文班亚马，并试图用左手完成上篮——结果被文班亚马扇飞到了边线外。
- 51 区： 卡斯尔在第二节开始时发起了一波小高潮——首先，他和文班亚马完成了一次势大力沉的空接扣篮，然后将球传给了凯尔登·约翰逊（他在另一端完成了一次抢断），后者投进了一记流畅的三分球。
- 在杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)完成一次空接扣篮后，肖恩·埃利奥特(Sean Elliott)称他为“非洲草皮”。
- 当马刺队取得一定的领先优势时，他们太容易“戏耍对手”了。
- 圣安东尼奥今晚赢得了两次挑战。
比赛回顾
- 公牛队开局冰冷，就像联合中心外的空气一样，在前 3 分半钟里疯狂打铁。索汉命中三分和近距离投篮，帮助圣安东尼奥以 7-0 领先，而文班亚马则在篮筐处盖掉了武切维奇的两次投篮。瓦塞尔在怀特突破时糟糕的防守迫使米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)叫了一个波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)式的暂停。前面提到的威廉姆斯命中了两记直线三分，让芝加哥紧咬比分。文班亚马一下场，公牛队就开始了对篮筐的冲击。哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)拼尽全力投进了一记绝望的三分和一个上篮，阻止了芝加哥的追分。卡斯尔一上场就在攻防两端都表现出色，成为了球队的火花塞，并贡献了精彩的集锦。马刺以 29-20 领先结束第一节。
- 卡斯尔和约翰逊在第二节开始时像脱缰的野狗一样，马刺一度领先 14 分。文班亚马盖掉了马塔斯·布泽利斯(Matas Buzelis)在篮筐处的投篮，这使得雅各布·托比(Jacob Tobey)脱口而出“ *文班亚马！ *”。在芝加哥连续两次投失后，终于在同一回合的第三次出手命中三分，约翰逊教练再次叫了一个波波维奇式的暂停。公牛队投出的大量三分球让他们得以保持比分差距。索汉的篮板和补篮将比分改写为 53-38。拉文在本节后半段砍下了一连串的得分，缩小了分差。怀特的一记空位三分将公牛队的分差缩小到 8 分，但文班亚马和瓦塞尔迅速将领先优势扩大到 15 分，进入半场。
- 文班亚马（5 分）在第三节的前三分钟几乎与芝加哥的得分（6 分）持平。文班亚马（这样的精彩时刻太多了）在武切维奇面前命中了一记后撤步三分，盖掉了怀特的一次上篮尝试，并在下一个回合中单手补扣了瓦塞尔的投篮。芝加哥抓住了马刺在接下来的几分钟里的松懈，打出了一波 11-0 的攻势。武切维奇尤其找到了手感，在马刺的内线横冲直撞。在开局不顺之后，克里斯·保罗打出了一波 7-0 的个人攻势。卡斯尔和尚帕尼连续的两记三分扩大了马刺的领先优势，圣安东尼奥成功地克服了开局的怪异表现，以 13 分的领先优势进入第四节。

San Antonio vs. Chicago, Final Score: Spurs suffer ignominious road loss to Bulls, 110-114
San Antonio held the lead for 47+ minutes before Chicago’s comeback culminated in a Coby White floater and dunk
The guard tandem of Zach LaVine and Coby White helped Chicago stage a furious comeback spanning the last 2 1⁄2 quarters to melt away a 19-point Spurs advantage and punish them for a poorly played second half and extend its recent misery of poor road finishes. Chris Paul’s personal 7-0 run in the third and 7-2 (three clutch jumpers in the fourth - along with a key offensive rebound) burst in the fourth were not enough to keep the Bulls from their conquest.
Wembanyama (23 points, 14 rebounds, and 8 blocks) helped stake San Antonio to a 15-point lead at the half. But outside of Paul’s (18 points and 9 assists) second-half brilliance, there was little support when it mattered in crunchtime. Despite assisting on 16 of their first 18 makes (and 31 of 44 overall), their offensive execution stalled out over much of the fourth quarter.
Chicago’s starters contributed 100 of the team’s 114 points tonight - led primarily by LaVine’s (35 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists) offensive explosion, White’s (23 points and 4 steals) fire, and Nicola Vucevic’s (24 points and 11 rebounds) steadiness.
Observations
- The Ringer’s Michael Pina generated his list of the “LEAST IMPROVED” NBA players in this current season. No Spurs made the list or honorable mention section (rest easy Mr. Johnson and Mr. Collins), but the Bulls’ Patrick Williams did.
- Looking at the starters tonight, I had flashbacks of Bryn Forbes in the starting line-up and I had to do the Inception thing to remember where I was.
- The Portillo’s “4th Quarter Franks” (whereby the home fans get a free hot dog for two Spurs misses in a row) promotion is easily top five in the league. Keldon Johnson gifted the grateful United Center throng with freebies on his two misses.
- I just noticed that there are five Bulls logos on the court total. (Zach Lowe voice) “We only need to see maybe three at the most.”
- I like that the PA Announcer started with “FROM NORTH CAROLINA… (White - cue the Price is Right losing sound)” - as that was the way Michael Jordan was introduced in the 80s and 90s.
- Devin’s (Defensive at least) Deeds: Channeling in his inner Danny Green, Vassell ran down a streaking LaVine and blocked his slam attempt - infuriating the former dunk contest winner. Vassell later saved a sure two by Chicago late in the fourth by earning a block shot at the rim.
- Sequence of the Game #1: Early in the first quarter, Vassell stole an errant Bull pass, and put his defender on a string to knock down a jumper.
- Sequence of the Game #2: Late in opening quarter action, moments after he niftily found Julian Champagnie for a wing three, Stephon Castle was the recipient of a transition pass from Tre Jones (who had tipped another errant Bulls pass) and uncorked a windmill jam!
- Sequence of the Game #3: After Wembanyama hit a buzzer beating three to stun an exasperated Vucevic, Vassell stood up a Bull and ripped the ball away. He left a timely pass to Wembanyama for a transition slam.
- Victor Ease: On his first drive, Vucevic thought he had Wembanyama beat down the lane, and tried to lay in a lefty - only to have it swatted beyond the sideline.
- Area 51: Castle initiated a brief run at the start of the second - first, by pairing with Wembanyama on a thunderous alley-oop, and then kicking it out to Keldon Johnson (who had chased netted a steal at the other end) for a smooth three.
- After a Sochan alley-oop, Sean Elliott referred to him as “Afroturf.”
- The Spurs have too much of a tendency to ‘play with their food’ when they amass a decent lead.
- San Antonio won both of its challenges tonight.
Game Rundown
- The Bulls started ice-cold like the air outside United Center and put up bricks galore in the first 3 1⁄2 minutes. Sochan hit from three and up close to help San Antonio go up 7-0, while Wembanyama turned away two Vucevic attempts at the rim. Vassell’s poor closeout on a White drive caused Mitch Johnson to call a Pop-like timeout. The aforementioned Williams hit two straightaway threes to keep Chicago in shouting distance. As soon as Wembanyama subbed out, the Bulls committed to attacking the basket. Harrison Barnes willed home a desperation three and a lay-up to keep Chicago at bay. Castle excelled as a sparkplug with highlight reels to boot on both ends as soon as he entered, and the Spurs left the quarter up 29-20.
- Castle and Johnson acted like unleashed hounds at the start of the second, and the Spurs went up 14. Wembanyama blocked Matas Buzelis at the rim, and it caused Jacob Tobey to blurt “WEMBLAMYAHYAH.” After Chicago ran down two bad bricks and finally hit it’s third three in the same possession, Coach Johnson again called a timeout that would have made Pop proud. The massive volume of threes put up by the Bulls allowed them to keep it a ballgame. Sochan’s rebound and putback made it 53-38. LaVine put up a flurry of points later in the stanza to eat into the deficit. White’s open three brought the Bulls within eight, but Wembanyama and Vassell quickly pushed the lead back up to 15 entering the half.
- Wembanyama (5) nearly matched Chicago’s (6) output over the first three minutes of the third period. Wembanyama (there’s just so many of these fun times) hit a stepback three over Vucevic, swatted away a White lay-up attempt, and then had a one-handed tip-slam off a Vassell miss the next possession. Chicago caught the Spurs complacent over the next handful of minutes and went on a 11-0 run. Vucevic specifically caught fire and rampaged through the Spurs’ interior. After a rigid start, Chris Paul went on a personal 7-0 run. Two threes in succession by Castle and Champagnie extended the Spurs’ lead, and San Antonio successfully weathered a weird start to head into the fourth up 13.
