圣安东尼奥马刺队将在背靠背的第二场比赛中迎战强大的勇士队。
距离NBA赛季结束还有9场比赛，圣安东尼奥马刺队进入季后赛的希望基本破灭。他们落后西部第10名4.5个胜场，并且已经遭遇三连败。他们的赛程并没有变得更轻松。他们将在背靠背的第二场比赛中主场迎战金州勇士队。
自全明星赛以来，勇士队取得了14胜4负的战绩，并且随着新近获得的吉米·巴特勒(Jimmy Butler)的加入，看起来像是西部潜在的竞争者。就像他们在过去两场比赛中所做的那样，马刺队将竭尽所能与这支季后赛球队一战。圣安东尼奥在赛季末段展现出了活力，像凯尔登·约翰逊和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)这样的年轻球员也挺身而出。他们需要他们的年轻核心在周日与勇士队的艰难对决中继续展现出成长的迹象。

勇士队伤病情况 ：斯蒂芬·库里(Stephen Curry) – 可能出战（骨盆），加里·佩顿二世(Gary Payton II) – 缺席（拇指）
看点：
控制好球
马刺队的失误问题已经完全解决。他们最近在珍惜球权方面做得非常出色。在周六与波士顿凯尔特人队的比赛中，他们只出现了5次失误。金州勇士队是联盟中最擅长迫使对手失误的球队之一，场均造成15.5次失误。勇士队拥有像德雷蒙德·格林(Draymond Green)和巴特勒这样具有干扰性的防守者。像斯蒂芬·卡斯尔和德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)这样的球员必须在面对勇士队强大的防守时做出明智的决策。
追逐库里
即使在他接近40岁的年纪，斯蒂芬·库里仍然是NBA中最难防守的球员之一。在整个球场上追逐他，并阻止他的三分球几乎是不可能的。圣安东尼奥可能会使用多名防守者来防守他，但我希望看到斯蒂芬·卡斯尔有机会对位库里。这将是对这位新秀的一个很好的考验，让他利用自己的力量和活力来对抗库里，同时保持专注，并在不陷入犯规麻烦的情况下防守他。
带来能量
凯尔登·约翰逊和杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)在攻防两端的能量令人赏心悦目。本已阵容单薄的马刺队需要在背靠背的第二场比赛中全力以赴。勇士队是一支强大的篮板球队（联盟第三）。如果金州勇士队能够在内线打出身体对抗并投中三分球，比赛可能会迅速失控。马刺队需要像索汉和KJ这样的球员带来能量，以跟上勇士队的节奏。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors
San Antonio faces the tough Warriors in the second game of a back-to-back.
With 9 games left in the NBA season, the San Antonio Spurs playoff chances have been mostly squashed. They are 4.5 games out of the 10th seed in the Western Conference and have dropped three straight games. Their schedule isn’t getting any easier. They’ll host the Golden State Warriors on the second game of a back-to-back.
The Warriors are 14-4 since the All-Star break and look like potential contenders in the West with the newly acquired Jimmy Butler. Much like they’ve done in the last two games, the Spurs will do what they can to give this playoff team a game. San Antonio has played with energy down the season’s stretch, and young players like Keldon Johnson and Stephon Castle have stepped up. They’ll need their young core to continue showing signs of growth in a tough matchup with the Warriors on Sunday.

What to watch for:
Taking care of the ball
The Spurs turnover issues are firmly behind them. They’ve been excellent at valuing possessions lately. They only turned the ball over 5 times against the Boston Celtics in Saturday’s matchup. Golden State is one of the best teams in the league at turning teams over, forcing 15.5 turnovers per game. The Warriors have disruptive defenders like Draymond Green and Butler. Players like Castle and Devin Vassell must make smart decisions with the ball against the Warriors’ stout defense.
Chasing Curry
Even in his late 30s, Steph Curry remains one of the hardest players to guard in the NBA. Chasing him all over the floor and off the line is borderline impossible. San Antonio will probably use multiple defenders to guard him, but I’d like to see Castle get a shot at taking on Curry. This would be a great test for the rookie to use his strength and motor to wall up against Curry while being disciplined and defending him without getting in foul trouble.
Bringing the energy
Johnson and Jeremy Sochan have been fun to watch, with their energy on both ends. The already thin Spurs will need to bring it all on the second game of a back-to-back. The Warriors are a tough rebounding team (3rd in the NBA). The game could get out of hand quickly if Golden State can be physical inside and knock down threes. The Spurs need players like Sochan and KJ to bring the energy to keep up with the Warriors.
