圣安东尼奥力克掘金，两队均饱受伤病困扰。
几个月前，圣安东尼奥马刺和丹佛掘金之间的比赛本该是一场星光熠熠的对决。但周三晚上的情况并非如此。这是掘金背靠背的第二场比赛，他们的大部分首发球员都缺席，包括尼古拉·约基奇(Nikola Jokic)和贾马尔·穆雷(Jamal Murray)。马刺除了其他伤病之外，还缺少了德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)，索汉和凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)。尽管阵容残缺，圣安东尼奥还是以113-106击败了掘金。
得益于火热的投篮手感，马刺在上半场取得了20分的领先优势。上半场，马刺的投篮命中率超过50%，三分球命中率接近50%。下半场风云突变，掘金掀起一波攻势，并在第四节反超了比分。圣安东尼奥的老将克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)和哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)在最后时刻挺身而出，带领马刺在客场险胜。
巴恩斯以20分和8个篮板领衔马刺的得分，投进了三个三分球。保罗可能对比赛产生了最大的影响，他命中了一些关键球，并在关键时刻稳定了圣安东尼奥的局势。他得到17分、8次助攻和5个篮板。拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克(Russell Westbrook)全力以赴帮助掘金重返比赛，他得到了全场最高的30分，外加11个篮板和6次助攻。
凭借这场胜利，马刺结束了五连败。他们将回到主场，在周五与克利夫兰骑士队进行一场复赛。
观察
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔差一次助攻就将拿到他职业生涯的首次三双。他在胜利中得到15分、15个篮板和9次助攻。卡斯尔在篮板球方面表现出色，高高跃起从掘金球员手中抢下篮板。他在胜利中抢下了5个进攻篮板。
- 布雷克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley)在丹佛找到了他的跳投感觉。这位后卫替补出场，三分球3投3中，拿下15分。韦斯利在本赛季末表现出色，并且看起来越来越像一名轮换球员。
- 桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利(Sandro Mamukelashvili)继续成为马刺三月和四月比赛中的常客。他替补出场，得到16分和10个篮板的两双数据。他的空切和投篮为马刺的进攻打开了很多空间，即使他牺牲了一些内线防守。当马穆克拉什维利打中锋时，德安德烈·乔丹(DeAndre Jordan)也抓住了机会，自己也贡献了两双数据，得到10分和17个篮板。
- 圣安东尼奥在上次输给奥兰多魔术的比赛中，失误问题严重。他们在该场比赛中出现了20次失误。他们在周三的比赛中以重大方式摆脱了这一困境，仅失误了10次。

San Antonio at Denver, Final Score: Spurs execute late to take down the Nuggets 113-106
San Antonio outlasts the Nuggets as both teams struggle with injuries.
A game between the San Antonio Spurs and Denver Nuggets would be a star-studded affair a few months ago. That was not the case on Wednesday night. On the second night of a back-to-back for the Nuggets, most of their starters including Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. The Spurs missed Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan, and Keldon Johnson on top of their other injuries. Despite the depleted roster, San Antonio was able to outlast the Nuggets for a 113-106 win.
The Spurs jumped out to a 20-point lead in the first half thanks to some hot shooting. At the half, the Spurs were shooting over 50% from the field and nearly 50% from three. In the second half, the tables turned completely, as the Nuggets went on a big run to take the lead in the fourth quarter. San Antonio’s veterans, Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes took the reins late to lead the Spurs to a close victory on the road.
Barnes led the Spurs in scoring with 20 points and 8 rebounds, knocking down three triples. CP3 may have had the biggest impact on the game, hitting some big shots and getting San Antonio settled down the stretch. He finished with 17 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. Russell Westbrook gave it his all to get the Nuggets back into the game with a game-high 30 points, with 11 rebounds and 6 assists.
With the win, the Spurs snapped a 5-game losing streak. They’ll head back home for a rematch with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
Observations
- Stephon Castle was one assist shy of his first career triple-double. He had 15 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists in the win. Castle was a force on the glass, rising above the Nuggets to snatch rebounds. He grabbed 5 offensive rebounds in the win.
- Blake Wesley found his jump shot in Denver. The guard was a perfect 3-3 from deep while putting up 15 points off the bench. Wesley has played well late in the season and looks more and more like a rotation player by the day.
- Sandro Mamukelashvili continues to be a March and April staple for the Spurs. He had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. His cutting and shooting open up a lot for the Spurs offensively, even if he gives up some interior defense. DeAndre Jordan took advantage of the minutes when Mamu played center, posting a double-double himself with 10 points and 17 rebounds.
- San Antonio struggled with turnovers in their last loss to the Orlando Magic. They had 20 giveaways in that game. They rebounded from that in a major way, turning the ball over just 10 times on Wednesday night.
