马刺开局强势，但糟糕的第二节和停滞的进攻最终导致失利。
在连续三场比赛得分达到127分或以上后，马刺的进攻在萨克拉门托回落。在第一节表现强劲，一度领先多达8分之后，马刺的进攻在第二节彻底停滞，导致崩盘，而防守端也无法阻止手感火热的国王队。虽然马刺试图在第四节有所作为，几次将分差缩小到个位数，但国王队总能做出回应，最终，他们自己挖下的27分大坑实在太深，难以填补，最终以109-127失利。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)是唯一一个进攻端表现亮眼的马刺球员，他替补出场，17投10中得到25分，可惜最终犯满离场。而德阿隆·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)回归后表现挣扎，17投仅6中，得到16分。扎克·拉文(Zach LaVine)以36分领衔全场，其中包括7个三分球，而德玛尔·德罗赞(DeMar DeRozan)面对老东家砍下22分。
观察
- 没过多久，这便是福克斯第一次在他曾经效力过的另一支球队的球迷面前比赛。他在赛前明确表示，他对国王队的组织管理层不满（因为种种原因，比如让他为迈克·布朗的解雇背锅，即使他与此事毫无关系），而不是对这座城市或球迷不满。球迷的反应褒贬不一，赛前介绍他出场以及第一个暂停期间播放的致敬视频都赢得了热烈的欢呼，但在比赛进行中，只要他一触球，球迷就会发出嘘声。他投进了第一个球，但之后大部分时间都在苦苦挣扎，可能因为他想给老东家留下深刻印象，而他的前队友们也对他采取了充满动力的防守。
- 我之前一直强烈支持马刺升级他们的替补中锋阵容，引进约纳斯·瓦兰丘纳斯(Jonas Valanciunas)，如果他们知道维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)和查尔斯·巴锡(Charles Bassey)都会受伤，也许他们事后也会考虑。唉，国王队得到了约纳斯（具有讽刺意味的是，是通过福克斯交易中被送到萨克拉门托的西迪·西索科交换得到的），他凭借他的身材和身体对抗，给马刺队制造了往常一样的麻烦，7投8中，拿下15分12个篮板的两双。俾斯麦·比永博(Bismack Biyombo)是联盟中最具身体对抗能力的大个子之一，但在今晚的比赛中，他根本不是瓦兰丘纳斯的对手。
- 第二节成为了马刺今晚的滑铁卢，他们在这一节以16-36输掉了20分，而第一节他们还领先6分。还是老问题：进攻停滞，没有球的转移，防守端又让对手抢到10个进攻篮板，给了他们20分的二次进攻得分，同时过度协防，让国王队的射手——尤其是上半场得到18分的拉文——获得了空位投篮的机会。
- 看到文班亚马随队前往客场有些令人惊讶，因为深静脉血栓形成时建议采取预防措施，避免乘坐飞机，但现实是风险很小，尤其是在年轻人身上，以及在短于四个小时的飞行中。而且，血栓发生在肩部，而不是腿部，可能也降低了风险水平，因为保持上半身活动更容易，而如果血栓发生在腿部，建议尽可能站起来走动。
马刺将于周日前往明尼苏达挑战森林狼队。比赛将于美国中部时间晚上 7:00 在 FanDuel Sports 上进行直播。

San Antonio at Sacramento, Final Score: Spurs offense stagnates against Kings, lose 109-127
The Spurs started the game strong but were sunk by and bad 2nd quarter and stagnant offense.
After three straight games of scoring 127 or more points, the Spurs’ offense came back down to earth in Sacramento. After a strong first quarter where they led by as many as 8 points, the offense completely stagnated in a second quarter collapse while the defense couldn’t stop the red-hot Kings. Although the Spurs tried to make things interesting in the fourth, cutting the deficit to the lower double-digits a few times, the Kings always had an answer, and the 27-point hole they had dug themselves was too deep to climb out of on the way to a 109-127 loss.
Stephon Castle was really the only Spurs who had much going on offense, leading the way with 25 points on 10-17 shooting off the bench before fouling out, while De’Aaron Fox struggled in his return with 16 points on just 6-17 shooting. Zach LaVine led all players with 36 points, including seven threes, and DeMar DeRozan dropped 22 on his old team.
Observations
- It didn’t take long, but this was Fox’s first game back in front of the only other fan base he has been a part of. He made it clear leading up to the game that his beef was with the Kings’ organization (for reasons such as letting him taking the blame for Mike Brown’s firing even though he played no role), not with the city or fans. The reaction from the fans was mixed, as he got loud cheers when he was introduced before the game and during a video tribute during the first timeout, but they booed whenever he touched the ball when the game was in action. He made his first shot but otherwise struggled most of the night, perhaps trying too hard to make an impression while his former teammates played some motivated defense against him.
- I was all over the Jonas Valanciunis bandwagon when it came to the Spurs upgrading their backup center depth, and they may have considered it in hindsight if they knew both Victor Wembanyama and Charles Bassey would go down. Alas, the Kings got Jonas (ironically, for Sidy Cissoko after was sent to Sacramento as part of the Fox trade), and he was the problem he always is for the Spurs with his size and physicality, posting a 15-point, 12-rebound double-double on 7-8 shooting. Bismack Biyombo is one of the more physical bigs in the league, but he was no match for Valanciunis on this night.
- The second quarter ended up being the stinker for the Sours tonight, where they were outscored 36-16 after leading by six after one. It was the same old problems: the offense going stagnant with no ball movement, and on the other end they gave up 10 offensive boards for 20 second chance points in the half while over-helping on defense, leaving the Kings’ shooters — especially LaVine, who had 18 first-half points — wide open.
- It was somewhat surprising to see Wemby traveling with the team since precautions are advised when it comes to flying with deep vein thrombosis, but the reality is the risk is minimal, especially in young people and in flights shorter than four hours. Also, the fact that it’s in his shoulder, not his legs, probably also lowers the risk level since it’s easier to keep the upper body moving, where as if it’s in the legs, the advice is to get up and walk around when possible.
The Spurs return will head to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves on Sunday. Tip-off will be at 7:00 PM CT on FanDuel Sports.
