马刺队又经历了一次经典的“垃圾第三节”，但这一次，他们克服了它，战胜了阵容不整的76人队。
在“马穆狂潮”席卷圣安东尼奥，战胜尼克斯队的两天后，圣安东尼奥马刺队很有机会取得对阵费城76人队的第二场连胜，这支76人队正处于摆烂模式，只有9名球员可用，还不包括乔尔·恩比德、保罗·乔治、泰瑞斯·马克西和其他几位值得关注的球员。马刺队似乎很早就锁定了胜局，在第三节建立了16分的领先优势，但他们松懈了，挥霍了所有优势，甚至还落后了，然后才重新振作起来，以128-120的比分惊险获胜。
杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)连续第二场比赛担任中锋首发，通过他最擅长的方式——冲击篮筐——为马刺队拿下了前6分，但除此之外，他们在得分或防守方面都表现挣扎，很快就以6-15落后。他们在暂停后打出一波11-2的攻势，包括德文·瓦塞尔投中的两个三分球，将比分追平。总的来说，他在第一节得到11分，马刺队也逐渐苏醒，并在第一节结束后以28-26领先。
第二节开始时，马刺队的三分球火力全开，布雷克·韦斯利投中两个三分球，凯尔登·约翰逊、朱利安·尚帕尼和瓦塞尔也分别命中，帮助球队在半节时以45-34领先。昆汀·格莱姆斯是76人队的主要进攻来源，他在第二节贡献了25分中的12分，之后两队大多是互相得分，马刺队凭借10投20中的三分球命中率，以64-52领先进入下半场。
克里斯·保罗，不知为何他在上半场脱掉了内衣和投篮护袖，光着胳膊看起来几乎认不出来，在下半场开始时迅速投中四个三分球，而索汉继续冲击篮筐，迫使76人队暂停，此时马刺队以80-64领先16分。不幸的是，就像他们经常做的那样，马刺队放松了警惕，费城队打出一波21-5的攻势，将比分追至85平，之后尚帕尼的三分球暂时止住了马刺队的颓势。但费城队的三分球火力仍然太猛，马刺队在“垃圾第三节”后以91-95落后，他们在第三节以27-43输掉了16分。
韦斯利和保罗在第四节开始时又为马刺队投中几个三分球，但由于76人队手感火热，并且投什么都进，马刺队仍然难以防守住对手。米奇·约翰逊不得不在前五分钟内叫两次暂停，第二次暂停是在一系列粗心的失误和上篮不中后，马刺队以8分落后时叫的。从那时起，马刺队终于明白了，他们的侵略性又回来了。76人队也终于开始投失球了，马刺队在约翰逊抢断后，将球高抛给索汉，后者完成空接，彻底夺回了势头。总的来说，马刺队以一波24-8的攻势结束了比赛，这是自2022年以来，他们本赛季首次达到30胜。
比赛笔记
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)的投篮之夜并不顺利——14投6中，三分球3投0中，得到17分——但他上演了一场传球的盛宴，送出职业生涯新高的14次助攻：这是本赛季所有新秀中最高的，也是马刺队历史上新秀第二高的助攻数，与阿尔文·罗伯逊并列，仅次于约翰尼·摩尔的19次。他还贡献了5个篮板、3次抢断和1次盖帽。年度最佳新秀几乎已是囊中之物。
- 今晚两支球队的得分都很分散。76人队有4名球员得分20+，其中格莱姆斯和贾斯汀·爱德华兹都得到25分，马刺队有6名球员得分上双，索汉得到全队最高的23分，瓦塞尔得到20分。马刺队的三分球之夜也很出色，39投19中。6名不同的球员投中多个三分球，其中包括韦斯利不可思议的3投3中，以及保罗的7投6中，这使他成为NBA历史上第五位在其第20个赛季中单场命中5个或更多三分球的球员，加入了勒布朗·詹姆斯、科比·布莱恩特、文斯·卡特和德克·诺维茨基的行列。非常合适的行列。
- 我们可能在抱怨这个赛季没有按计划进行，主要是因为伤病和健康问题，但回想一下去年夏天，当时我们很多人认为拉斯维加斯开出的36.5胜的胜率有点高，30胜左右似乎更合理。虽然马刺队早些时候向我们展示了他们的上限更高，但在文班亚马的血栓问题破坏了一切之前，即使只有46场比赛，他们也在达到季前赛的预期，这真是太疯狂了。他们没有崩溃，如果有什么的话，这对下个赛季来说是一次很好的经验，尤其是在进攻方面。虽然看起来很疯狂，但在过去的11场比赛中，马刺队的进攻效率在整个联盟中排名第一。（当然，他们的防守是最差的，但我们都知道为什么。）
最佳回合
我们选择约翰逊抢断后，将球高抛给索汉，后者完成空接，帮助马刺队重新取得领先。

Spurs overcome third quarter collapse to rally past 76ers for second straight win
The Spurs had another of their classic turd quarters, but this time, they overcame it against a depleted 76ers squad.
Two nights after Mamu Mania swept the city in a win over the Knicks, the San Antonio Spurs had a good shot to get their second straight win against a Philadelphia team that is in tank mode and only had 9 available players, not including Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey and several other noteworthy names. The Spurs seemed well on their way to securing the win early, building a 16-point lead in the third quarter, but they took their foot off the gas, squandering it all and them some before rallying back themselves for a thrilling 128-120 win.
Jeremy Sochan, who got the start at center for the second straight game, got the Spurs’ first six points by doing what he does best: diving to the basket, but otherwise they struggled to score or get stops and quickly found themselves down 15-6. They responded with an 11-2 run out of a timeout that included two Devin Vassell threes to tie things back up. Overall, he had 11 points in the quarter as the Spurs woke up and led 28-26 after one.
The threes kept falling for the Spurs to start the second quarter with two from Blake Wesley and a few more from Keldon Johnson, Julian Champagnie and Vassell as they built a 45-34 midway through. Quintin Grimes was the main source of offense for the 76ers with 12 of his 25 points in the quarter, and both teams mostly traded buckets from there, with the Spurs up 64-52 at the half, in no small part thanks to shooting 10-20 from three.
Chris Paul, who for some reason shed his undershirt and shooting sleeves during the first half and looking barely recognizable with bare arms, hit four quick threes to open the second half while Sochan continued to attack the rim, forcing a Sixers timeout with lead out to 16, 80-64. Unfortunately, as they are wont to do, the Spurs took their foot off the gas, and Philly went on a 21-5 run to tie things up at 85 before Champagnie three briefly stopped the bleeding for the Spurs. But Philly was still too hot from three, and SA found themselves down 95-91 after the turd quarter in which they were outscored 43-27.
Wesley and Paul hit a couple more three to open the fourth quarter for the Spurs, but they still struggled to get stops now that the Sixers were hot and seeing everything fall. Mitch Johnson had to call two timeouts in the first five minutes, the second which came with the lead out to 8 off a series of careless turnovers and missed layups. The Spurs finally got the message from there, and their aggression picked back up. The Sixers also finally started missing shots, and the Spurs retook the lead on Johnson steal and lob to Sochan to completely take back the momentum. Overall, the Spurs ended the game on a 24-8 run to get them to 30 wins on the season for the first time since 2022.
Game Notes
- It wasn’t Castle’s best shooting night — 6-14, 0-3 from three for 17 points — but he put on a passing clinic with a career high 14 assists: the most for any rookie this season and tied for the second-most by a rookie in Spurs history, matching Alvin Robertson and behind Johnny Moore’s 19. He also added 5 rebounds, 3 steals and a block. Rookie of the Year is all but in the bag.
- Both teams spread the wealth in scoring tonight. The 76ers had four players score 20 or more points, led by 25 from both Grimes and Justin Edwards, and the Spurs had six players score in double figures, with Sochan scoring a team-high 23 and Vassell getting 20. The Spurs also had a great night from beyond the arc, hitting 19-39 threes. Six different players hit multiple threes, including an improbable 3-3 from Wesley and 6-7 from Paul, which made him the fifth player in NBA history to hit five or more threes in a game in his 20th season, joining LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, and Dirk Nowitzki. Very fitting company.
- We may be complaining that this season did not go as planned primarily due to injury and health issues, but think back to last summer, when many of us thought Vegas’s over/under of 36.5 wins was a little high, and 30-ish wins seemed more reasonable. While the Spurs showed us early that their ceiling was higher before everything was derailed by Wemby’s blood clot, it’s wild to think they are meeting preseason expectations even with only 46 games from him. They aren’t folding, and if anything, this is a good experience for next season, especially on offense. Crazy as it may seem, the Spurs have had the top rated offense in the entire league over their last 11 games. (Of course, they’ve had the worst defense, but we all know why.)
Play of the game
We’re going with the aforementioned steal by Johnson and lob to Sochan gave the lead back to the Spurs for good.
