2025年2月20日，凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)在德克萨斯州奥斯汀的穆迪中心对阵菲尼克斯太阳队的比赛中扣篮后做出反应。马刺队以120-109击败了太阳队。
奥斯汀 — 马刺队以120-109战胜菲尼克斯太阳队的比赛结束后，凯尔登·约翰逊的手机响了，汗水还没干。
是失落的明星维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)发来的信息，他在球队群聊中发了两个字：“精彩的胜利。”
在得知他们的全明星中锋因右肩血栓将缺席本赛季剩余比赛的几个小时后，马刺队奋力拼搏，为文班而战。
“很明显，听到这个消息很难受，”约翰逊谈到文班亚马的情况时说。“文班对我们来说意义重大，看到他经历这些，这对每个人都造成了打击。我们知道，无论如何，我们都会支持他。”
在情感的驱动下，马刺队回到了奥斯汀的穆迪中心，给了天赋异禀但表现不佳的菲尼克斯队一次沉重的打击。
德埃隆·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)砍下26分，其中包括第四节的11分，而约翰逊和朱利安·尚帕涅(Julian Champagnie)各自贡献15分，帮助马刺队取得了胜利，整场比赛他们从未落后。
“我认为他们的反应正如我们所预期的，”马刺队代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)说。“我们有很多职业球员，他们都准备好迎接挑战。”
菲尼克斯队方面，罗伊斯·奥尼尔得到27分，凯文·杜兰特(Kevin Durant)得到22分，这是他自2006-07赛季从德克萨斯大学大一结束后，首次在奥斯汀参加NBA常规赛。
这场失利使太阳队的战绩变为26胜29负。马刺队将于周五回到穆迪中心对阵底特律活塞队，战绩提高到24胜29负。
以下是周四胜利的三点总结，这场胜利确保了马刺队连续第三个赛季至少在奥斯汀球迷面前赢得一场比赛：
- 这是一场配得上德克萨斯长角牛队传奇人物的回家之旅
周四比赛开始不到两分钟，一位菲尼克斯太阳队的球员跳投了一个中距离。
因为那个球员是杜兰特，否则，这群原本偏向马刺队的观众疯狂了。
抛开失利不谈，这位前德克萨斯长角牛队的球员享受了一次回到他大学母校的快乐回家之旅。
“（输球）令人沮丧，但我仍然度过了一段美好的时光，”杜兰特说。“这不会破坏我回到这里，在这群令人难以置信的观众面前比赛的心情。”
与此同时，马刺队也理解穆迪中心球迷的双重忠诚。
“KD去了德克萨斯大学，他是他们的传奇人物之一，”米奇·约翰逊说。“所以不能生气。”
杜兰特认为这一夜对他个人来说是成功的，即使太阳队遭受了一场打击他们低迷的季后赛希望的失利。
本次活动吸引了16246名观众，座无虚席，创下了该竞技场连续第三个赛季的体育赛事纪录。
“整个晚上都非常热闹，”杜兰特说。“我非常感谢过去20年来我从这个地区得到的所有爱。”
- 马刺队的团队合作取得了成功
周四上午的投篮训练中，关于文班亚马长期缺席的消息尘埃落定，克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)说，马刺队想要取代他们7英尺3英寸的中锋，只有一种方法。
“那就是团队合作，”保罗说。
这个团队在对阵太阳队的比赛中发挥了重要作用。
在马刺队上场的9名球员中，有7名得分上双。另外两名得了8分。
保罗送出10次助攻。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔抢下10个篮板。
特别要向俾斯麦·比永博致敬，由于文班亚马缺席，他时隔一年多再次首发，贡献了8分、3个篮板和（非官方统计）约400次掩护。
他至少是马刺队能够在篮板、内线得分和二次进攻得分方面取得优势的部分原因。
“他是一位非常专业的球员，”保罗说，他之前在菲尼克斯和比永博一起打过球。“一直都是这样。从未改变。”
比永博的10天合同在周四的比赛后到期。
即使查尔斯·巴锡预计将从膝盖扭伤中恢复，并及时参加马刺队周五在穆迪中心对阵底特律活塞队的比赛，但如果比永博再次获得一份10天合同，也不会令人感到惊讶。
其他马刺队球员肯定会欢迎与这位32岁的大个子有更多时间相处。
“俾斯麦给我们带来了很好的存在感，”朱利安·尚帕涅说。“他是更衣室里的另一位老将。我不知道你们是否在看，但他几乎每次进攻都会提醒队友，‘在这里做这个，在那里做那个。’他能够引导你完成各种事情。”
- 保罗在抢断榜上更进一步
在第一节还剩5分24秒时，保罗伸手拦截了德文·布克的一次失误传球——同时也达到了一个里程碑。
这次抢断使他在NBA历史抢断榜上超越了杰森·基德，升至第二位。
保罗在比赛中又抢断了一次，使他的职业生涯总抢断数达到2686次，并且还在增加。
马刺队控球后卫在全明星周末期间与基德在旧金山闲逛。基德现在是达拉斯小牛队的教练，他知道这一天迟早会到来。
“他知道我只差一次，”保罗说。
本赛季早些时候，39岁的保罗还在联盟历史助攻榜上超越了基德，排名第二。他在两项榜单上都落后于排名第一的约翰·斯托克顿。
“克里斯已经取得了许多成就和里程碑，今年我们也参与了一些，”米奇·约翰逊说。“我们很幸运能和他一起经历这些。他一直是我们年轻球员的杰出榜样，他是一位非常出色的球员。”
和保罗一样，福克斯也希望作为一名矮个后卫能够长期打下去，他说马刺队这位最年长的政治家是一个值得学习的榜样。
“很明显，以他的身高打了20年球，以及他在整个职业生涯中所做的一切，真是太不可思议了，”福克斯说。“我觉得这给了很多人希望。不是每个人都能长到6英尺3英寸，而且超级有运动天赋，或者6英尺8英寸，或者6英尺10英寸，或者7英尺。所以他给了很多孩子希望。”

3 takeaways as Spurs beat Suns after Victor Wembanyama shut down
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (0) reacts after making a dunk on the Phoenix Suns at Moody Center on Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025, in Austin, Texas. The Spurs defeated the Suns 120-109.
AUSTIN — The sweat had not yet dried on the Spurs’ 120-109 victory over Phoenix on Thursday when Keldon Johnson’s phone buzzed.
It was fallen star Victor Wembanyama, chiming into the team’s group chat with a two-word message: “Great win.”
Hours after learning they would be without their All-Star center for the remainder of the season due to a blood clot in his right shoulder, the Spurs went out and won one for Wemby.
“Obviously it’s tough hearing it,” Johnson said of Wembanyama’s condition. “Vic means so much to us and to see him go through that, it kind of takes a toll on everybody. We know that, regardless, we have his back.”
Playing on emotion, the Spurs returned to Austin’s Moody Center and dealt a talented but underachieving Phoenix team a devastating blow.
De’Aaron Fox poured in 26 points — including 11 in the fourth quarter — while Johnson and Julian Champagnie chipped in 15 points apiece to push the Spurs to victory in a game they never trailed.
“I thought they responded how we expected them to,” Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson said. “We had a lot of professional guys that were up to the challenge.”
Phoenix got 27 points from Royce O’Neale and 22 from Kevin Durant, who was playing his first regular-season NBA game in Austin since leaving the University of Texas after his freshman season in 2006-07.
The loss sent the Suns to 26-29. The Spurs, who return to the Moody Center to face Detroit on Friday, improved to 24-29.
Here are three takeaways from Thursday’s victory, which ensured the Spurs would win at least one game before an Austin crowd for the third consecutive season:
1. It was a homecoming befitting a Longhorn legend
Less than two minutes into Thursday’s game, a Phoenix Suns player rose up for a mid-range jumper.
Since that player was Durant, the otherwise partisan Spurs crowd went appropriately crazy.
Loss aside, the former Texas Longhorn enjoyed a happy homecoming to his old college stomping grounds.
“(Losing) is frustrating, but I still had a great time,” Durant said. “That’s not going sour the mood of me coming back here and playing in front of this incredible crowd.”
The Spurs, meanwhile, understood the dual loyalty of the Moody Center fans.
“KD went to Texas, and he’s one of their legends,” Mitch Johnson said. “So can’t be mad.”
Durant counted the night as a personal success, even as the Suns suffered a defeat deflating to their flagging playoff hopes.
The event drew a sellout crowd of 16,246, setting a record for a sporting event in the arena for the third season in a row.
“It was loud and energetic the whole night,” Durant said. “I’m just very grateful for all the love I’ve received from this region of the world in the last 20 years.”
2. Spurs’ committee comes through
As news of Wembanyama’s prolonged absence settled in at shootaround Thursday morning, Paul said there was only one way the Spurs could hope to replace their 7-foot-3 centerpiece.
“It’s by committee,” Paul said.
That committee came through in a big way against the Suns.
Seven of the nine players who saw the floor for the Spurs reached double figures. The other two scored eight points.
Paul doled out 10 assists. Stephon Castle grabbed 10 rebounds.
Give a special hat tip to Bismack Biyombo, who with Wembanyama out drew his first start in more than a year and delivered eight points, three rebounds and (unofficially) about 400 screens.
He was at least part of the reason the Spurs were able to win the battle of the boards, and points in the paint, and second-chance points.
“He’s a pro’s pro,” said Paul, who previously played with Biyombo in Phoenix. “Always been that way. Never changed.”
Biyombo’s 10-day contract expired after Thursday’s game.
Even with Charles Bassey expected to return from his knee sprain in time to play in the Spurs’ return to Moody Center on Friday against Detroit, it would not be surprising to see Biyombo handed another 10-day deal.
Other Spurs certainly would welcome more time with the 32-year-old big man.
“Biz gave us a good presence,” Julian Champagnie said. “He’s another vet in the locker room. I don’t know if you guys were watching, but he’s up almost every other play, telling guys, ‘Do this, do that here.’ He’s able to talk you through things.”
3. Paul moves up the theft ladder
With 5:24 left in the first quarter, Paul reached to intercept an errant pass from Devin Booker — and also reached a milestone.
The steal pushed him past Jason Kidd for second place on the NBA’s all-time steals chart.
Paul grabbed another steal later in the game, bringing his career total to 2,686 and counting.
The Spurs point guard spent part of All-Star weekend hanging out with Kidd in San Francisco. Kidd, now the Dallas Mavericks’ coach, knew what was coming.
“He knew I was one away,” Paul said.
Earlier this season, the 39-year-old Paul also passed Kidd for second on the league’s all-time assist ledger. He trails first-place John Stockton on both charts.
“Chris has had so many accomplishments and milestones and we’ve been a part of a few this year,” Mitch Johnson said. “We’ve been lucky to live those through with him. He’s just been a tremendous example for our young guys and he’s been a tremendous player.”
Fox, who like Paul hopes to make a long living as a small guard, said the Spurs’ eldest statesmen is a worthy example.
“Obviously playing 20 years at his size and what he’s done throughout his career, man, it’s truly amazing,” Fox said. “I feel like that gives a lot of people hope. Everybody’s not going to be 6-3 and super athletic or 6-8 or 6-10 or 7 foot. So he gives a lot of kids hope.”
