圣安东尼奥强势反弹。
在周一输给达拉斯独行侠后，圣安东尼奥马刺队需要做出回应，因为他们在防守端的表现很糟糕。独行侠队大约缺少了一半的球员，但仍然在霜冻银行中心击败了马刺队。周三对阵达拉斯时，他们花了一段时间才进入状态，但一旦进入状态，他们就强势反弹。
比赛初期，马刺队看起来会再次倒在独行侠队脚下，第一节就以28-20落后。防守端没有太多的抵抗，除了迪阿隆·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)在运球进攻中得分外，进攻端也没有太多的侵略性。这种情况在第二节到第四节迅速改变。
圣安东尼奥队通过稳固、积极的防守和强硬的进攻接管了比赛的剩余时间。马刺队完成了11次抢断，迫使达拉斯队出现18次失误。他们在内线以66-52击败独行侠，并在篮板球上以47-31领先，其中包括进攻篮板13-3的优势。
基尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)为比赛定下了基调，他最近一直是替补席上的一团火焰。他替补出场得到18分和5个篮板。他积极冲击篮筐的打法比本赛季早些时候有了很大的进步。他更像一个突破者，而不是一个空间型球员。也许他终于适应了替补的角色。
要以这种侵略性和能量打满82场比赛是很难的。如果马刺队能更频繁地发挥出这种状态，并且在面对阵容完整的球队时也能如此，他们就能具备竞争力。今年可能不会发生，但这些夜晚为维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)下赛季回归后，球队核心阵容的未来提供了一些鼓励。
要点
- 距离我们上次看到完整的福克斯表现已经有一段时间了，但他周三的表现非常出色。他得到了32分和11次助攻的两双，并且只差一个篮板就完成了三双。这感觉就像他作为一名马刺球员为数不多的接管比赛的夜晚之一。他命中了中距离跳投，在转换进攻中完成了上篮，并获得了罚球机会，6次罚球全部命中。由于未来一周可能会进行手指手术，这可能是我们在下个赛季之前看到的福克斯的最后几场比赛之一。这是一个不错的告别演出。
- 在过去的两个赛季里，人们对马刺队使用杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)的方式提出了很多批评。控球后卫，中锋……除了他传统的前锋位置。我们发现的是，他们把索汉放在哪里并不重要，他总能找到融入的方式。周三，他作为马刺队的替补中锋表现出色，并以首发大个子的身份结束了比赛。他替补出场得到18分和7个篮板。他打出了出色的防守，完成了在扣篮点和作为篮板手的进攻，甚至投进了两个三分球，看起来像是一个真正的远距离威胁。索汉是终极粘合剂。他总能找到融入的方式。
- 这不是斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)最棒的一场比赛。他在27分钟的上场时间里表现挣扎，得到8分并出现4次失误。更糟糕的是，赛后马刺队恶搞了卡斯尔，把他的车轮给卸了，这是一个非常搞笑的新秀恶作剧。

What we learned from the Spurs win over the Mavericks
San Antonio responds with some force.
The San Antonio Spurs needed to respond after a poor defensive performance that led to a loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. The Mavs are missing about half of their roster but still managed to outplay the Spurs at the Frost Bank Center. It took them a while to get into the swing of things against Dallas on Wednesday, but when they did, they responded with force.
Early on it looked like the Spurs would roll over once again to the Mavs after going down 28-20 in the first quarter. There wasn’t a lot of defensive resistance, and besides De’Aaron Fox getting buckets off the bounce, there was not a lot of offensive aggression. That quickly changed in quarters two through four.
San Antonio took over the rest of the game by playing solid, aggressive defense and downhill attacking offense. The Spurs had 11 steals and forced 18 Dallas turnovers. They outscored the Mavs 66-52 in the paint and out-rebounded them 47-31, including a 13-3 advantage on the offensive glass.
The tone was set by Keldon Johnson, who has been a fireball of energy off the bench lately. He had 18 points and 5 rebounds off the bench. His aggressive play getting to the basket has been a major improvement over where he was earlier in the season. He’s much better as a slasher than a floor spacer. Perhaps he’s finally settling into his role off the bench.
It’s difficult to play with this kind of aggression and energy for all 82 games. If the Spurs can channel this more often and against teams with a complete roster, they can compete. It may not happen this year, but these are the nights that give some encouragement for the future of the core group when Victor Wembanyama returns next season.
Takeaways
- It’s been a minute since we got the full Fox experience, but he showed up in a big way on Wednesday. He had a double-double with 32 points and 11 assists and was one rebound shy of a triple-double. It felt like one of the few games he’s had as a Spur where he took over the game offensively. He hit mid-range jumpers, finished at the rim in transition, and got to the line where he made 6 of his 6 free throw attempts. With a finger surgery likely looming in the coming week, this may be one of the last glimpses we get of Fox before next season. It was a good performance to go out on.
- There has been a lot of criticism for the Spurs’ usage of Jeremy Sochan over the last two seasons. Point guard, center… anywhere but his traditional position of forward. What we are finding out is that it doesn’t necessarily matter where they put Sochan, he just finds a way to fit in. He was excellent as the Spurs’ backup center on Wednesday and closed the game out as their primary big. He had 18 points and 7 rebounds off the bench. He played awesome defense, finished plays from the dunker spot and as a rebounder, and even knocked down a pair of threes, looking like a legitimate threat from deep. Sochan is the ultimate glue guy. He just finds a way to fit in.
- It wasn’t Stephon Castle’s greatest game. He struggled to make much of an impact in his 27 minutes, scoring 8 points and giving up 4 turnovers. To add insult to injury, the Spurs took the tires off his car after the game in a hilarious rookie prank.
