场外收购达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)的消息令人兴奋，但马刺在“牛仔竞技表演之旅”开局的三场失利中，有两场都是在最后时刻被绝杀。
欢迎来到赛事回顾：这是一项周一推出的专题，回顾 圣安东尼奥马刺队 过去一周的表现，展望未来一周的赛事，以及其他内容。请尽情享受！
第15周 ：尽管战绩为1胜2负，但马刺在主场表现出了一些活力，他们大胜雄鹿队，结束了糟糕的一月。与此同时，他们也经历了一场与快船队的艰难失利，以及一场令人心碎的与热火队的比赛，热火队的巴姆·阿德巴约(Bam Adebayo)命中压哨球击败了马刺。当时的马刺队缺少了因呼吸道疾病而影响了本周表现的维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)。
第16周：1胜3负（22胜28负，西部第12名）
109-128 负于孟菲斯灰熊队
回顾 : 这可能是本周唯一一场“可以接受”的失利。灰熊队即使稍微健康一点，仍然是马刺队最大的眼中钉。马刺队无法应对孟菲斯的高压防守，失误23次（其中17次是抢断），让灰熊队额外得到34分。
126-125 胜于亚特兰大老鹰队
回顾 : 马刺队终于得到了一些急需的帮助，达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)完成了他在马刺队的首秀，他也没有让人失望，贡献了24分和13次助攻。但他们仍然遵循了一个令人不安的趋势，即在上半场取得巨大领先（本场比赛为20分），然后在糟糕的下半场中挥霍殆尽。不过，他们还是勉强守住了胜果，文班亚马在最后几秒命中制胜罚球，然后在故意罚丢第二球，以防止老鹰队获得良好的最后一攻机会。（至少他们从选秀的角度赢得了本周最重要的比赛！）
116-117 负于夏洛特黄蜂队
回顾 : 或许是轻视了一个实力较弱的对手，马刺队在上半场落后很多，而黄蜂队的三分球手感火热。但他们在下半场慢慢地追回了比分。由于2023年最佳关键球员福克斯的一些英雄表现，他们看起来可能会从失败的边缘偷走胜利，但斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)——他得到了职业生涯最高的33分——让迈尔斯·布里奇斯(Miles Bridges)在制胜三分球上无人盯防，而福克斯的回应压哨球只差了一点点。
111-112 负于奥兰多魔术队
回顾 : 这是五场比赛中的第三次，马刺在与同样在挣扎但身体对抗强硬、身高臂长的魔术队进行了一场激烈的比赛后，再次在最后时刻失利。经过一个胶着的上半场，马刺队在第三节一度领先13分，但奥兰多队奋起反击，在最后一回合取得领先，之后，本周一直受到精力不足困扰的文班亚马错失了自己的压哨绝杀机会。
实力榜
John Schuhmann, NBA.com — 21 (上周: 20)
进攻效率: 112.3 (16) 防守效率: 114.0 (21) 净效率: -1.8 (20) 节奏: 99.9 (14)
在六场“牛仔竞技表演之旅”中，马刺队的战绩为1胜2负*，这是他们第一次低于50%胜率6场。
三个要点
这次旅程中的所有三场比赛都是一分决胜负。在12月中旬之前，马刺队在关键时刻的比赛中是8胜3负，但在过去12场比赛的最后5分钟内分差在5分以内的比赛中，他们输掉了10场，在104次关键回合中只得到84分（每次0.81分）。
上周，关键时刻的进攻围绕着福克斯展开，他在还剩7.9秒时用一记后撤步跳投让马刺队在夏洛特领先一分。但随后他们让迈尔斯·布里奇斯(Miles Bridges)在弱侧底角获得一个大空位三分，而福克斯的绝杀三分来得有点晚，最终输掉了比赛。马刺队是四支球队之一，他们的对手投篮中有3分球的比例（最低）和对手3分球尝试来自底角的比例（最低）都排在前10。但他们在周三战胜亚特兰大的比赛中，也让对手在底角获得了一些空位机会。
马刺队有能力让福克斯或克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)在整场比赛中组织进攻，但在上周的四场比赛中，他们有38分钟两人都不在场上。在这38分钟里，他们输了14分，每100回合只得到102.4分。
马刺队目前对阵东部联盟的战绩为6胜10负，即使他们在过去的16场比赛中只输了每100回合1.8分。他们将以对阵联盟中最差的球队和卫冕冠军的比赛来结束他们的旅程。
编者按：马刺已经进入RRT的第四场比赛，而不是三场，而且实际上包括到3月1日的另外六场客场比赛。虽然下周有两场“主场”比赛，但它们在奥斯汀，然后RRT将继续进行四场比赛。*
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points — 22 (上周: 17)
如果圣安东尼奥马刺队想在全明星赛后构成威胁，他们真的需要解决进攻问题。达龙·福克斯和维克托·文班亚马彼此配合需要时间，但球队的其他成员已经合作了一个赛季。有了福克斯的帮助来组织进攻，马刺队的进攻没有理由像现在这样挣扎。也许在全明星赛前在波士顿赢得一场重要的客场比赛可以为马刺队带来动力。
接下来： 2月10日周一 @ 华盛顿奇才队；2月12日周三 @ 波士顿凯尔特人队
预测：1胜1负—— 马刺队本赛季已经击败过奇才队一次，但这需要文班亚马得到50分才能赢9分。希望他们能从与黄蜂队的比赛中吸取教训，不要再次轻视一个实力较弱的对手（尤其是现在奇才队在交易截止日后变得更糟了）。否则，他们可能要等很长时间才能再次品尝到胜利的滋味，因为我不认为他们能在波士顿获胜，然后他们将有8天的全明星假期。

Week in Review: Spurs struggle in the clutch in letdown week to start Rodeo Road Trip
It was an exciting week off the court with the acquisition of De’Aaron Fox, but the Spurs still fell at the buzzer in two of their three losses to start the Rodeo Road Trip.
Welcome to the Week in Review: a Monday feature that looks back at the week that was for the San Antonio Spurs, takes a look at the week ahead, and more. Enjoy!
Week 15: Despite going 1-2, the Spurs showed signs of life at home by blowing out the Bucks to end a rough month of January, sandwiched by a hard-fought loss to the Clippers and heartbreaker against Heat, where Bam Adebayo hit a buzzer beater to down the Spurs, who were missing Victor Wembanyama to a respiratory illness that would impact his performance this week as well.
Week 16: 1-3 (22-28, 12th in West)
109-128 loss @ Memphis Grizzlies
Recap: In arguably the only “acceptable” loss of the week, the Grizzlies continued to be one of the biggest thorns in the Spurs’ side when even remotely healthy, as the Spurs couldn’t take care of the ball against Memphis’ pressure-heavy defense, coughing it up 23 times (17 of which were steals) for 34 extra Grizzlies points.
126-125 win @ Atlanta Hawks
Recap: The Spurs finally got some much needed help with De’Aaron Fox making his Spurs debut, and he did not disappoint with 24 points and 13 assists, but they still followed a troubling trend of getting up big in the first half — 20 points in this case — before choking it all away with a bad second half. Still, they did just enough to hold on, and Wemby hit the game-winning free throw in the final seconds before purposefully missing the second to prevent the Hawks from getting a good final look. (At least they won the most important game of the week from a draft standpoint!)
116-117 loss @ Charlotte Hornets
Recap: Perhaps guilty of overlooking an inferior opponent, the Spurs got down big in the first half while the Hornets were white hot from three, but they slowly grinded their way back in the second half. It looked like they may have stollen victory from the jaws of defeat thanks to some heroics from the 2023 Clutch Player of the Year in Fox, but Stephon Castle — who had a career night with 33 points — left Miles Bridges open on the game-winning three, and Fox’s responding buzzer-beater was just a hair too late.
111-112 loss @ Orlando Magic
Recap: For the third time in five games, the Spurs once again fell at the buzzer after a hard-fought game against the also-struggling but physical, lengthy Magic. After a tight first half, the Spurs were close to pulling away after getting up by 13 in the third quarter, but Orlando fought back, getting ahead on their final possession before Wemby — who struggled all week with energy his levels — missed his own chance at a buzzer-beater.
Power Rankings
John Schuhmann, NBA.com— 21 (last week: 20)
OffRtg: 112.3 (16) DefRtg: 114.0 (21) NetRtg: -1.8 (20) Pace: 99.9 (14)
The Spurs are 1-2 on their six-game, rodeo road trip*, falling to six games below .500 for the first time.
Three takeaways
All three games on the trip have been decided by a single point. The Spurs were 8-3 in clutch games through mid-December, but have lost 10 of their last 12 that were within five points in the last five minutes, scoring just 84 points on 104 clutch possessions (0.81 per) over that stretch.
The late-game offense ran through De’Aaron Fox last week, and he put the Spurs up one in Charlotte with a step-back jumper with 7.9 seconds left. But they then yielded a wide-open, weak-side corner 3 to Miles Bridges and lost when Fox’s game-winning 3 came a little too late. The Spurs are one of four teams that rank in the top 10 in both the (lowest) percentage of their opponents’ shots that have come from 3-point range and the (lowest) percentage of their opponents 3-point attempts that have come from the corners. But they also allowed some open looks from the corners early in their win in Atlanta on Wednesday.
The Spurs have the ability to have either Fox or Chris Paul running the offense for the entire game, but they played 38 minutes over their four games last week with neither on the floor. They were outscored by 14 points, scoring just 102.4 per 100 possessions, in those 38 minutes.
The Spurs are now 6-10 against the Eastern Conference, even tough they’ve been outscored by just 1.8 points per 100 possessions over those 16 games. They’ll finish their trip with games against the worst team in the league and the defending champs.
*Editor’s note: The Spurs are four games into the RRT, not three, and it actually includes six more road games through March 1. While there are two “home” games next week, they’re in Austin, then the RRT continues for four more games.
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points— 22 (last week: 17)
The San Antonio Spurs really need to figure things out offensively if they are to be a threat post-All-Star break. It is going to take time for De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama to gel with one another, but the rest of this team has played together all season. With Fox helping facilitate the offense, there is no reason why the Spurs’ offense should be struggling the way it is. Maybe a big road win in Boston right before the break could springboard momentum for the Spurs.
Coming up: Mon. 2/10 @ Washington Wizards; Wed. 2/12 @ Boston Celtics
Prediction: 1-1 — The Spurs already beat the Wizards once this season, but that required a 50-point game from Wemby just to win by nine. Hopefully they learned from the Hornets game and don’t overlook an inferior opponent again (especially now that the Wizards are even worse after the trade deadline). Otherwise, they will likely have to wait quite a while to taste victory again since I don’t see them winning in Boston, then they have 8 days off for the All-Star break.
