马刺和步行者在巴黎的第二幕
在一月份的大部分时间里表现挣扎之后，或许圣安东尼奥马刺队只是需要换个环境？在文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)的家乡进行的两场比赛中的第一场，他们以140-110击败了印第安纳步行者队，看起来一切终于再次为他们 clicking。140分是球队本赛季单场比赛的最高得分，而净胜分也是本赛季最大的。他们有机会以另一场对阵步行者队的精彩表现来结束这次国际之旅，在经历了过去几周的艰难时期后，或许这可以成为球队在二月份和全明星周末到来之前摆脱一月阴霾的催化剂。

比赛看点
- 自从本月初对阵丹佛的第一场比赛以来，文班亚马就一直没有找回自己，至少不像他迅速蜕变后的那个样子。他本月投篮有些挣扎，甚至在对阵密尔沃基的比赛中，感觉他甚至都不想出手。与联盟大多数球队的情况一样，如果文班没有打出像场上最佳球员那样的表现，马刺队将很难赢下与联盟中几乎任何球队的比赛。周四在他回到家乡对阵步行者队的比赛中，他爆发了，这是自对阵丹佛的第一场比赛以来，他第一次得分达到30分，这是一个令人鼓舞的迹象。需要注意的是：他并没有真正地获得罚球机会。周四的比赛是他过去7场比赛中第4次没有罚球。
- 泰瑞斯·哈利伯顿(Tyrese Halliburton)在本赛季并没有打出他在上赛季带领印第安纳打进东部决赛后人们所预期的那种爆炸性赛季。在这次巴黎之旅的第一场对阵马刺的比赛中，他的表现并不亮眼，只得到了13分和7次助攻。控制住哈利伯顿会让印第安纳的其他进攻更加困难。
- 德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)在周四的比赛中投篮效率惊人，13投9中，三分球6投5中，得到25分。由于文班的出色发挥，以及斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)在一定程度上的出色表现，瓦塞尔本赛季不止一次地退居二线，但作为首发球员中可以说是最好的射手，马刺需要他保持侵略性和效率。他在过去的5场比赛中每场都至少得到20分。
- 帕斯卡尔·西亚卡姆(Pascal Siakam)是印第安纳在需要有人凭空创造得分机会时最放心的球员。在法国的第一场比赛中，他的效率很高，但只得到了18分。如果有机会（以及出手机会），他完全有能力砍下30分。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Indiana Pacers
Act 2 in Paris for the Spurs and the Pacers
After struggling mightily throughout most of January, perhaps the San Antonio Spurs just needed a change of scenery? They put a beat down on the Indiana Pacers in the first of their two games in Victor Wembanyama’s homeland to the tune of 140-110, looking like things were finally clicking for them once again. That 140-mark is the most points that the team has scored in a game this entire season, while the margin of victory was the biggest of the year as well. They have a chance to close out this international trip with another big performance against Indiana, and after what has been a trying time these last few weeks, perhaps it can be the catalyst the team needed to shake off January as February and the All Star break approaches.

What to watch for
- Victor Wembanyama hadn’t looked like himself really since that first game against Denver at the beginning of the month, at least not like the guy he seemed to be quickly turning into.He’s struggled with his shot a bit this month and even had a game against Milwaukee where it felt like he wasn’t even looking to shoot the ball. As is the case around the league for most teams, the Spurs are going to struggle to win games against almost anyone in the league if he’s not playing like he’s the best player on the court. Thursday’s breakout in his homecoming against Indiana was the first time he’s reached the 30-point mark since that first Denver game, an encouraging sign. Something to keep an eye on: He’s not really getting to the free throw line. Thursday’s game marked the 4th time in his last 7 games where he failed to attempt a single free throw.
- Tyrese Halliburton hasn’t had the explosive season that he seemed destined for after Indiana’s run to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. He didn’t light it up in Act 1 against the Spurs on this trip, being held to just 13 points and 7 assists. Keeping Halliburton in check makes things that much more difficult on the rest of Indiana’s offense.
- Devin Vassell had a ridiculously efficient shooting performance in the win Thursday, going 9-13 from the floor and 5/6 from beyond the arc on his way to 25 points. Vassell has taken a back seat more than once this season thanks to the breakout play of Wembanymama and, to a lesser extent, Stephon Castle, but as arguably the best shooter out of any of the starters, the Spurs need him to stay aggressive and efficient. He’s now scored at least 20 in each of the last 5 games.
- Pascal Siakam is the guy that Indiana feels most comfortable giving the ball to when they need someone to create a bucket out of nothing. He had an efficient outing in the first game in France, but was held to just 18 points. If given the chance (and the looks), he’s more than capable of going off for a 30-point game.
