洛杉矶——迪阿隆·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)讨厌在受伤时观看比赛。
“我就像，老天，我不知道你们怎么当教练的，”马刺后卫福克斯说道。他将于周二在洛杉矶接受手术，修复左手小指的肌腱。
“我不能每天都待在这里，却不能上场做任何事情，”福克斯补充道。“作为一个竞争者，这会让你寝食难安，这也是我一直坚持带伤上阵的原因。对我来说，观看比赛一直都很艰难。”
周一晚上，这对福克斯来说一定特别困难。
奥斯汀·里夫斯得到30分，洛杉矶湖人以125-109大胜马刺，此前湖人最多曾领先28分。这是一场补赛，此前两队一月份的比赛因洛杉矶的野火而推迟。
卢卡·东契奇得到21分、14次助攻和9个篮板，帮助湖人（42胜25负）在四连败后取得两连胜。
由于湖人是背靠背的第二场比赛，里夫斯21投12中，在Crypto.com球馆以冻结防守队员的动作和为他开辟通往篮筐的道路，让17723名观众欢呼雀跃。
“我认为我们在一些无球跑动上迷失了几次，”马刺代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)说。“我们做了一些定点换防之类的，我们有点被牵着鼻子走，因为我们没有纪律性，也没有在无球状态下保持身体对抗，他因此让我们付出了代价。”
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 克服了早期的犯规麻烦，为马刺（28胜39负）拿下23分，马刺正在经历一波三连客，目前在霜冻银行中心以外的战绩为11胜22负。
这是卡斯尔第19次得分超过20分。在他最近的11场比赛中，他有7场比赛得分超过20分。
德文·瓦塞尔为马刺贡献了17分，将他的连续得分上双纪录扩大到赛季最高的10场。
马刺在第四节中段一度落后18分，随后在比赛还剩不到4分钟时，凭借卡斯尔的扣篮将分差缩小到11分，但湖人随后以一波9-0的攻势回应，由东契奇在里夫斯的助攻下上篮得分锁定胜局。
杰里米·索汉 为马刺贡献了15分，但在比赛还剩6分27秒时，他与湖人队的贾里德·范德比尔特因打架而被驱逐出场。这场短暂的冲突始于索汉在范德比尔特因推人犯规被吹哨后，将球扔向了范德比尔特。
“我认为那只是一个碰撞，一个扔球动作和一些逞能的行为，实际上什么都不是，”约翰逊说。“我认为他们可以判双方技术犯规然后继续比赛。我认为他们没有必要被驱逐出场，但也许他们想缓和局势。”
以下是从马刺队在周六前往多伦多、底特律和克利夫兰进行三连客之旅之前的最后一场客场比赛中得出的三点总结：
- 卡斯尔在早期的犯规麻烦后表现出强大的心理素质
这位明星新秀在第一节还剩6分48秒时防守东契奇时领到了第三次犯规。其中两次判罚值得商榷，但这名首轮第四顺位新秀并没有因此而影响比赛。
“我认为在那之后，他在这方面做得更好，只是专注于比赛，”约翰逊说。“只要专注比赛，不要担心。如果你犯规出场了，那就去他的。”
卡斯尔拒绝谈论裁判的判罚。
“这是一个艰难的局面……那是他们的判断，”他说。“这让我的比赛开局很糟糕，但我很高兴能够回来并努力做出贡献。”
卡斯尔19投8中，其中三分球6投3中，罚球6投4中。他还贡献了8个篮板和3次助攻。
“他不知疲倦地冲击禁区，”约翰逊说。
总而言之，马刺控球后卫克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)说，应对早期的犯规麻烦和防守东契奇对卡斯尔来说是一次宝贵的经验。
“在这个联盟里，没有比实战更好的老师了，”这位有着20年经验的老将说道。
- 无论身穿什么球衣，东契奇都能在马刺身上予取予求
东契奇的这次三双是他对阵马刺的第八次三双，也是自从2月2日独行侠在一笔重磅交易中将他交易到湖人以来的第一次。
这位斯洛文尼亚超级球星对阵圣安东尼奥马刺的8次三双是他对阵任何NBA球队中最多的。

也许东契奇最令人印象深刻的一次传球是，在第三节，他给跑在朱利安·尚帕尼前面的贾克森·海耶斯送出了一记穿针引线的空中接力传球。东契奇的传球位置完美，出手速度之快，足以让NFL四分卫羡慕不已。
东契奇的投篮手感不佳，20投仅5中，三分球7投1中，但他频频走上罚球线，13罚10中。
“正如我们所知，他是一位非常非常高级的精英级球员，”约翰逊说。
- 雷迪克是文班亚马的忠实球迷
湖人队的第一年教练JJ·雷迪克在赛前被问及在没有21岁的法国球员 维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama) 的情况下与马刺队比赛时，对 文班亚马 表达了一些由衷的赞美。由于他在2月20日因右肩血栓而赛季报销。
“他是一个很棒的人，一个很棒的球员，也是我们联盟的杰出代表，”雷迪克说。“对他有所了解，我为他感到难过。”
雷迪克在2023年选秀之前会见了 文班亚马 ，当时他是这位前NBA球员的“The Old Man and The Three”播客的嘉宾。
“我真的被他的成熟和深思熟虑所震惊，”雷迪克说。“在任何行业中，都有很多人才华横溢，并且取得了成功，或者即将取得成功，他们都在寻找‘我能得到什么’，而不是‘我能给予什么’。他是一个给予者，一个‘我能给予什么’的人。”
在1月13日马刺队以126-102击败湖人队后，这位身高7英尺3英寸的中锋将他签名比赛球衣送给雷迪克的儿子诺克斯和凯，雷迪克对 文班亚马 的喜爱之情更加浓厚。
这是一个令人感到欣慰的时刻，此前兄弟俩在太平洋帕利塞德的火灾中失去了他们的体育纪念品收藏，那场火灾摧毁了雷迪克的家。
但雷迪克强调，他对 文班亚马 的喜爱并不仅仅源于那种善意的举动。
“我与马刺队前厅的很多人关系密切，”他说。“我听过很多关于他的故事。他是独一无二的。”

3 takeaways as Spurs fall to Luka Doncic, Los Angeles Lakers

LOS ANGELES – De’Aaron Fox hates watching games while injured.
“I’m like, man, I don’t know how you all coach,” said the Spurs guard, who is set to undergo surgery Tuesday in Los Angeles to repair a tendon in his left pinkie.
“I couldn’t be here every day and not be able to get on the court and do stuff,” Fox added. “As a competitor, it eats as you, which is another reason I’ve always played through whatever knicks and knacks I’ve had. Watching for me has always been tough.”
It must have been particularly difficult for Fox on Monday night.
Austin Reaves scored 30 points, and the Los Angeles Lakers rolled past the Spurs 125-109 after leading by as many as 28 points in a makeup game after a January contest between the teams was postponed due to the L.A. wildfires.
Luka Doncic had 21 points, 14 assists and nine rebounds to help the Lakers (42-25) win their second in a row after losing four straight.
With the Lakers playing on the second night of a back-to-back, Reaves hit 12 of 21 from the field, delighting the crowd of 17,723 at Crypto.com Arena with moves that froze defenders and gave him clear paths to the basket.
“I thought we got lost a few times on some off-ball actions,” acting Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “We did some point switching and stuff where we got caught chasing our tail a little bit, where we weren’t disciplined and weren’t physical off the ball and he made us pay a few times off that.”
Stephon Castle overcame early foul trouble to finish with 23 points for the Spurs (28-39), who have three in a row on the road to fall to 11-22 away from the Frost Bank Center.
It was Castle’s 19th game with 20 or more points. He’s notched seven such games in his last 11 outings.
Devin Vassell finished with 17 points for the Spurs to extend his double-figure scoring streak to a season-high 10 games.
The Spurs fought back from an 18-point deficit midway through the fourth quarter to pull within 11 on a Castle slam with just under 4 minutes left, but the Lakers answered with a 9-0 run sparked by Doncic’s running layup on an assist from Reaves to ice the game.
Jeremy Sochan had 15 points for the Spurs before he was ejected along with the Lakers’ Jarred Vanderbilt for fighting with 6:27 left. The brief skirmish started when Sochan flung the ball at Vanderbilt after the forward got whistled for a shove.
“I thought it was a bump and the basketball throw and some macho stuff that was really nothing,” Johnson said. “I thought they could have called a double tech and moved on. I didn’t think they needed to be ejected, but maybe they wanted to de-escalate the situation.”
Here are three takeaways from the Spurs’ last road game until they embark Saturday on a three-game trip to Toronto, Detroit and Cleveland:
1. Castle showed mental toughness after early foul trouble
The star rookie picked up his third foul defending Doncic with 6:48 left in the first period. Two of the calls were questionable, but the fourth overall pick didn’t let it throw him off his game.
“I thought he did a better job after that of just playing,” Johnson said. “Just play through and don’t worry about it, If you foul out, screw it.”
Castle declined to talk about the officiating.
“It was a tough situation … that’s their judgement,” he said. “It kind of got me off to a rough start to the game, but I was happy I was able to come back in and try and make an impact.”
Castle finished 8 for 19 from the field, including 3 for 6 from beyond the arc, and was 4 of 6 from the free throw line. He also had eight rebounds and three assists.
“He was just relentless getting to the paint,” Johnson said.
All in all, dealing with the early foul trouble and defending Doncic was a great experience for Castle, Spurs point guard Chris Paul said.
“In this league, there’s no teacher like playing,” the 20-year vet said.
2. No matter the uniform, Doncic feasts on the Spurs
Doncic’s triple-double was his eighth against the Spurs and first as a Laker since the Mavericks traded him in a blockbuster deal on Feb. 2 that shocked the NBA.
The Slovenian superstar’s eight triple-doubles against San Antonio are the most he’s had against any NBA team.

Perhaps Doncic’s most impressive play came when he hit Jaxson Hayes with a long pass for a thread-the-needle alley oop slam in the third quarter after Hayes gained a step on Julian Champagnie. Doncic had perfect placement on the pass and fired it with a quick release that would make an NFL quarterback envious.
Doncic struggled with his shooting stroke, hitting just 5 of 20 from the field and 1 of 7 from 3-point range, but he lived at the free throw line, hitting 10 of 13.
“He’s a very, very advanced elite cerebral basketball player as we know,” Johnson said.
3. Redick is a big Wemby fan
JJ Redick, the Lakers’ first-year coach, directed some heartfelt words toward Wembanyama when asked before the game about facing the Spurs without the 21-year-old Frenchman after his season ended Feb. 20 due to a blood clot in his right shoulder.
“Just a great human, a great player, and just a great representative of our league,” Redick said. “Got to know him a little bit and I feel for him.”
Redick met Wembanyama before the 2023 draft when he was a guest on the former NBA player’s “The Old Man and The Three” podcast.
“I was really struck by his maturity and thoughtfulness,” Redick said. “There are a lot of people in any industry that are talented and have success or are going to have success, and they’re looking for, ‘What can I get versus?’ rather than ‘What can I give?’ And he’s a giver, a what-can-I-give person.”
Redick’s fondness for Wembanyama grew after the 7-foot-3 center gave he gave his autographed game jersey to Redick’s sons, Knox and Kai, after the Spurs defeated the Lakers 126-102 on Jan. 13.
It was a feel-good moment after the brothers had lost their sports memorabilia collection in the Pacific Palisades fire that destroyed the Redicks’ home.
But Redick stressed that his fondness for Wembanyama doesn’t just stem from that gesture of kindness.
“I’m close with a lot of people in the Spurs front office,” he said. “I hear all the stories. He’s one of one.”
