马刺队明显没做好比赛准备
背靠背的第二场比赛，马刺队被活塞队彻底击溃，他们在防守端和篮板球上都毫无作为。教练米奇·约翰逊部署了令人质疑的轮换阵容，而且被J.B. 比克斯塔夫好好上了一课，后者让他的球队准备得更加充分。
“第三节我们完全失控了……我们原本和他们咬得很紧，”约翰逊在赛后新闻发布会上说道。
活塞队在开场两分钟就打出9-2的攻势，迫使马刺队叫了第一个暂停，但重新开始后，马刺队的防守依然慢半拍。客队不断在内线寻找错位机会，并通过挡拆和转换进攻得分。不过，德埃隆·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)、凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)的近投和远射帮助球队避免了彻底的溃败。
第二节开始时，马刺队以27-36落后，但在K.约翰逊和桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利(Sandro Mamukelashvili)接管比赛后，他们的劣势迅速消失。不仅如此，马刺队的防守强度提升了50度，只让对手在限制区内投进两球。克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)命中了一记底角三分，帮助球队首次取得领先，而这记三分来自朱利安·尚帕涅(Julian Champagnie)在活塞队半场的抢断。随后，福克斯回到场上，一路狂飙，又投进了两个三分球。
马刺队在最后几分钟领先10分，但他们以糟糕的方式结束了这一节，出现了两次失误，并让对手投进了一记底角三分和一记追身转换三分。约翰逊在赛后也提到了这一点，认为这是比赛的转折点之一。
半场结束时，马刺队以62-63落后。马刺队在内线得分上以34-26领先，快攻得分上以10-4领先，但在二次进攻得分上与对手打成11平。他们最大的问题是在篮板球上被对手完爆，而托拜厄斯·哈里斯(Tobias Harris)的18分和凯德·坎宁安(Cade Cunningham)的10分领衔活塞队的得分。
随后，杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)在第三节首发出场，对坎宁安进行了有效的防守，但马刺队在开场几分钟内连丢8分。约翰逊和他的队员们短暂地聚集在一起，但他的指示并没有起到太大作用，因为他们仍然像一群穿着紧身牛仔裤的人一样被对手随意推搡。随着比赛的进行，坎宁安突破到内线，多次得分，并在三分线外惩罚了他们。
尽管K.约翰逊在第四节投进了四个球，但马刺队始终无法将比分追到可以威胁对手的程度。他们未能限制贾伦·杜伦(Jalen Duren)的顺下，并让马利克·比斯利(Malik Beasley)投进了一记深远的三分球，这在当时已经足够了。
马刺队最终以110-125失利，并在篮板球上被对手狂胜23个。此外，他们在内线得分上以58-62落后，在二次进攻得分上以18-21落后。

比赛笔记
- 福克斯和K.约翰逊是球队在进攻端最大的亮点，他们可以随心所欲地运球突破，并且得分效率很高。他们合计31投22中。
- 坎宁安在上半场受到索汉的限制，但他很快破解了防守，开始突破撕裂所有人的防线。他的牵制力创造了空接机会，并且在单打时找到了空当。此外，他和杜伦、哈里斯的得分都超过20分，且命中率至少达到66.7%。
- 马刺队的慢热让人想起一位拳击手被一记沉重的上勾拳击中，需要几个回合才能找回状态。而第三节的情况也一样，他们大部分时间都在苦苦支撑。他们甚至尝试了区域防守，但这种防守很薄弱，很容易被击穿。幸运的是，对于拳击手来说，当情况变得如此糟糕时，裁判会介入，但在马刺队的情况下，他们只是落后了24分，并在垃圾时间里打了很长时间。
- 活塞队在第三节的得分是马刺队的两倍多（38-18）。
- 卡斯尔在比赛开局表现出色，通过空切和补篮得分，并命中了跳投。但他只打了13分钟，在第一节之后只得到3分，而保罗在攻防两端都没有为球队做出太大的贡献。他打了21分钟。
- 根据Cleaning the Glass的数据，马刺队的半场进攻每百回合得到96.6分，在联盟中排在第48个百分位。
- 德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)是一个低效球员。他错失了一些本可以投进的球，甚至还冒昧地尝试在两名防守队员面前完成急停跳投。在防守端，他很快就被坎宁安甩在了身后，无法完成干扰。

The Spurs got outclassed by the Pistons to end Austin trip
The Spurs were not ready to play
The Spurs were wasted by the Pistons on the second night of a back-to-back because they didn’t show up on defense or on the glass. And coach Mitch Johnson deployed questionable rotations plus got schooled by J.B. Bickerstaff, who had his team more prepared.
“That third quarter got away from us… we were right there with them,” Johnson said at the postgame presser.
The Pistons raced out to a 9-2 lead in the first two minutes, forcing the first Spurs timeout, but the defense was still a second slow when the action resumed. The visitors kept mismatch hunting in the post and scoring on screen rolls plus transition. Yet, De’Aaron Fox, Keldon Johnson and Stephon Castle’s close and long-range baskets kept the team from getting embarrassed.
The second quarter started with the Spurs down 36-27, but their deficit vanished quickly courtesy of K. Johnson and Sandro Mamukelashvili taking over. On top of that, the defense was cranked up 50 degrees and only allowed two shots in the restricted area. Chris Paul took the team’s first lead with a corner triple supplied by Julian Champagnie’s steal in Piston’s territory. Then Fox came back in, boat racing the Pistons and made two extra treys.
The Spurs were up 10 points in the last few minutes, but they ended the quarter poorly, committing two turnovers and giving up the corner plus a pull-up transition triple. Johnson also mentioned this after the game as one of the turning points.
At halftime, the Spurs were down 63-62. The Spurs had the edge in paint points 34-26 and in fastbreak points 10-4 but were tied in second-chance points at 11. Their biggest problems were getting abused on the glass, and Tobias Harris’ 18 and Cade Cunningham’s 10 points led the Pistons in scoring.
Subsequently, Jeremy Sochan started the third quarter, supplying good defense on Cunningham, but the Spurs permitted eight straight points in the first few minutes. Johnson and the troops briefly convened, but his directive didn’t count for much as they was still getting pushed around like a skinny jeans team. As the period went on, Cunningham broke into the lane for multiple baskets and punished them from 3-point range, too.
Despite K. Johnson’s four fourth-quarter baskets, the Spurs couldn’t get back within striking distance. They failed to tag Jalen Duren’s rim rolls, and permitted Malik Beasley to make a deep triple, which was enough at that point.
The Spurs lost 125-110 and were massacred on the glass by 23. Furthermore, they were outscored in paint points 62-58 and in second-chance points 21-18.

Game notes
- Fox and K. Johnson were the team’s biggest bright spots on offense as they could go where they wanted on the dribble and scored efficiently. They combined for 22 baskets in 31 tries.
- Cunningham was bothered a bit by Sochan in the first half, but he soon cracked the code and started filleting everyone on the dribble. His gravity created lobs and he found openings in single coverage. On top of that, he, Duren and Harris each scored in the 20s on at least 66.7 percent shooting.
- The Spurs’ slow start was reminiscent of a boxer getting stung with a hard uppercut and taking a few rounds to find their legs. And the third quarter went the same way as they were hanging on most of the time. A zone was even flashed, but it was weak and its heart was easily pierced. Fortunately for fighters, when it gets this ugly, a referee steps in, but in the Spurs’ case, they just went down 24 points and played extended minutes in garbage time.
- The Pistons more than doubled the Spurs’ points in the third quarter (38-18).
- Castle had a strong start to the game, scoring on a cut, putback and making his jumper. But he only played 13 minutes and scored three more points after the first quarter, while Paul wasn’t doing much for the team on both sides. He played 21 minutes.
- The Spurs’ half court attack scored 96.6 points per 100 plays, good enough for the 48th percentile, per Cleaning the Glass.
- Devin Vassell was a low-impact player. He missed makeable shots and even had the nerve to try a pull-up jumper against two defenders. Defensively, he got put on Cunningham’s back hip quickly and was not able to contest.
