夏洛特的三分球如雪崩般摧毁了马刺队。
无论对手的水平如何，这支圣安东尼奥马刺队都有可能让对手打出令人瞠目结舌的进攻表现。很容易想象其他球队将马刺队视为刷赛季或职业生涯新高的对象。
这类比赛令人沮丧，因为马刺队整晚都没有展现出应有的斗志。考虑到首发阵容的严重缺失，人们会认为更多的人会挺身而出，以便当球队迎来辉煌时他们还能留在队中。也许在未来结束本赛季时他们会这么做，但这场比赛之后，教练组将在录像室里度过充实的一天。
要点
- 防守端的慢热已经让人厌倦。在球队最好的两名球员赛季报销的情况下，进攻端无能为力。但他们在盯防射手时可以更加注重细节。他们让黄蜂队创造了球队历史上最高的26个三分球纪录。现在是米奇·约翰逊教练狠抓防守的时候了。
- 拉梅洛·鲍尔因为“趁火打劫”而备受争议，但在周五的比赛中，他名副其实。他剖析了马刺队的协防，找到了空位的射手和内切球员，几乎没有感觉到他们的存在，他在内线运球自如。他的三分球在开局时就找到了准星，然后火力全开。他九投七中， 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle) 在防守他时遇到了困难。
- 对手的大个子们毫不畏惧圣安东尼奥的锋线，这场比赛进一步证明了马刺队需要一名替补大个子。 杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan) 不适合这个位置，因为他太矮小，缺乏技术。比斯马克·比永博在进攻端毫无作为，在防守端则像穿着水泥鞋一样笨拙。最重要的是，当球队利用体型优势在外线给持球人施压时，马克·威廉姆斯和优素福·努尔基奇很容易地击败了身材较小的协防者。
- 德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell) 在运球和绕掩护方面的出色表现表明他可以做得更多。他还以五次抢断领跑全队，但他最大的问题是在弧顶附近未能紧贴自己的防守人。此外，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔的近距离终结能力正在提高，而且每场比赛他都能更容易地突破到内线。当球队缺少明星控球后卫时，他们可以在这段时间内更多地使用克里斯·保罗，以进行组织，并通过后卫之间的挡拆配合帮助瓦塞尔和卡斯尔及时接球。
- 在快速比赛的同时保持良好的防守并不容易。第一节和第三节的节奏是全场最快的，但值得一提的是，马刺队在后半段找到了进攻的感觉。但他们在两节中的防守都很糟糕。
- 桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利(Sandro Mamukelashvili) 享受了垃圾时间，投进了三个跳投和一个上篮，帮助球队在最后时刻看起来更有尊严。考虑到他每36分钟的数据（三分命中率为37.8%，场均出手8.4次），或许他应该在无关紧要的时间里获得更多机会。

What we learned from the Spurs’ loss to the Hornets
Charlotte’s avalanche of 3-pointers destroyed the Spurs.
No matter the level of competition, this San Antonio team is capable of allowing obscene offensive performances. It’s easy to imagine other teams talking about the Spurs as a squad to get season or career high against.
These types of games are frustrating because the Spurs’ fight was not there the whole night. One would think, counting the major absences to the starting lineup, that more of them would like to step up so they stay around when this team finds prosperity. Maybe in the future to close out the year, but the coaching staff will have a field day in the film room after this one.
Takeaways
- The slow defensive starts are getting old. Nothing can be done about the other side with the team’s two best players out for the rest of the year. But they could show a higher attention to detail when covering shooters. They allowed the Hornets to set a franchise record of 26 trifectas. It’s time for coach Mitch Johnson to step on some necks to get his point across.
- LaMelo Ball catches a lot of smoke for being a looter in a riot, but he was living up to the hype on Friday. He dissected the Spurs’ help defense, finding open shooters and rollers, barely feeling their presence as he dribbled inside. His 3-point shot was on target early and then he went on a heater. He made seven three-pointers in nine tries, and Castle had difficulty guarding him.
- Opposing bigs have no fear of San Antonio’s front line, and more evidence was revealed in this game that the Spurs need a backup big man. It’s not Jeremy Sochan because he is too small and lacks polish. Bismack Biyombo is a zero on offense and is wearing cement shoes on defense. On top of that, when the team used its size to pressure the dribble outside, Mark Williams and Jusuf Nurkić scored easily against the smaller help defenders.
- Devin Vassell’s productive night on the dribble and curling around screens shows he can do more. He also led the team with five deflections, but his biggest issue was staying attached to his man at the arc. Furthermore, Stephon Castle’s close-range finishing is improving and it’s getting easier for him to get downhill each game as well. While the team is without its star point guard, it could use Chris Paul more for this stretch of games for organization and helping guys like Vassell and Castle get the ball promptly via guard-to-guard screen roll.
- Maintaining good defense while playing quickly is not easy to do. The pace of the first and third quarters was the highest of the night, but it’s worth mentioning that the Spurs found their groove offensively in the latter. They guarded poorly in both.
- Sandro Mamukelashvili enjoyed garbage time, making three jump shots and a layup, helping the score look a bit more respectable at the end. Considering his per 36 minute numbers (makes 37.8 percent of threes, 8.4 attempts per game), perhaps he should get more of an opportunity ahead of the inconsequential minutes.
