马刺队希望在与动荡的热火队的比赛中重回正轨。
过去几周对圣安东尼奥马刺队来说并不友好。背靠背惨败给孟菲斯灰熊队让他们胜率跌破五成，并且在过去五场比赛中输掉了四场。然而，这仍然比南海岸发生的事情要好。
迈阿密热火队在负面情绪方面领跑全联盟。吉米·巴特勒(Jimmy Butler)在因违反球队规定被禁赛七场后终于回归。自从今年早些时候申请交易以来，这位热火队的最佳球员看起来一直不在状态。在没有巴特勒的情况下，迈阿密专注于确立其年轻球员作为球队核心。泰勒·希罗(Tyler Herro)正处于职业生涯的巅峰期，巴姆·阿德巴约(Bam Adebayo)是球队的防守支柱，而像尼古拉·约维奇(Nikola Jovic)和海梅·哈克斯二世(Jaime Jaquez Jr.)这样的年轻球员也展现出了闪光点。
无论阵容如何，拥有埃里克·斯波尔斯特拉(Erik Spoelstra)执教的热火队都是一个强大的对手。尽管如此，与马刺队在一月份面对的对手，特别是像孟菲斯灰熊队这样的球队相比，他们的实力还是有所下降。随着巴黎之旅的临近，圣安东尼奥的赛程并不会轻松多少。马刺队有机会在客场战胜这支只想远离头条新闻的迈阿密队。

比赛看点:
拼搏精神的比拼
他们可不是白白被称为NBA中最顽强、状态最佳、最凶悍的球队。#热火文化 将在周日全力以赴。圣安东尼奥必须迎接挑战。说真的，热火队是NBA排名前十的防守强队。阿德巴约是防守悍将，他们身边有足够的武器让对手头疼。最近圣安东尼奥的进攻状态很不稳定。要想战胜强大的热火队，他们需要做出改变。
限制三分线
在与孟菲斯灰熊队的两场比赛中，马刺队都被三分球射穿了。热火队场均三分球命中数排名NBA第八。希罗是持球突破的威胁，邓肯·罗宾逊(Duncan Robinson)是联盟中最好的无球跑动射手之一，而海伍德·海史密斯(Haywood Highsmith)是一位出色的3D侧翼球员。马刺队必须限制持球人，并积极扑防射手，以防止迈阿密队火力全开。
激活文班亚马
维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在12月打出疯狂的数据后，状态有所回落。在对阵孟菲斯灰熊队的比赛中，他在进攻端似乎有些游离。米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)应该全力以赴，让他的超级巨星内线在对阵迈阿密的比赛中重回正轨。看看圣安东尼奥是否会采取更有针对性的战术，让文班在舒服的位置（无论是在外线还是在内线）拿到球。文班的强势反弹可以让他在本周晚些时候回家之前重回正轨。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Miami Heat
The Spurs look to get back on track against the turbulent Heat.
The last few weeks haven’t been kind to the San Antonio Spurs. Back-to-back blowout losses to the Memphis Grizzlies leave them two games below .500 and losers in four of their last five games. Somehow, it’s still better than what’s happening in South Beach.
The Miami Heat leads the league in bad vibes. Jimmy Butler is back after a seven-game suspension for breaking team policy. The Heat’s best player hasn’t looked engaged since requesting a trade earlier this year. Without Butler, Miami has focused on establishing its youth as the franchise’s core. Tyler Herro is having a career year, Bam Adebayo is a defensive anchor, and young pieces like Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez Jr. have shown flashes.
The Heat are a formidable opponent with Erik Spoelstra at the helm, regardless of who is on the roster. Still, they’ll be a step down from the competition the Spurs have faced in January, especially from teams like Memphis. San Antonio’s schedule doesn’t get much easier from here as a trip to Paris looms. The Spurs have an opportunity to steal a win on the road against a Miami team just trying to stay out of the headlines.

What to watch for:
Winning the hustle game
They don’t call them the toughest, best-conditioned, meanest franchise in the NBA for nothing. #HeatCulture will be out in full force on Sunday. San Antonio has to rise to the challenge. In all seriousness, the Heat are a top-10 defensive team in the NBA. Adebayo is a defensive force, and they have enough weapons around him to cause opposing teams headaches. San Antonio’s offense has been anything but consistent lately. That will need to change to overcome a tough Heat team.
Containing the three-point line
In two straight games against Memphis, the Spurs got lit up from three. The Heat are eighth in the NBA in three-pointers per game. Herro is a threat off the dribble, Duncan Robinson is one of the league’s best movement shooters, and Haywood Highsmith is a nice three-and-D wing. The Spurs must contain ball handlers and get out to shooters to keep Miami from getting hot.
Getting Wembanyama going
Victor Wembanyama has taken a step back after putting up insane stats in December. He seemed to float in and out of the game offensively against Memphis. Mitch Johnson should make a concerted effort to get his superstar big man back on track against Miami. Watch to see if San Antonio runs more intentional action to get Wembanyama the ball in spots where he’s comfortable, either on the perimeter or in the paint. A bounce-back Wembanyama performance could get him back on track before he heads home later this week.
