圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle) (5号)在2025年4月4日星期五于圣安东尼奥举行的NBA篮球比赛上半场中，面对克里夫兰骑士队的马克斯·斯特鲁斯（左上）和埃文·莫布里(Evan Mobley) (4号)投篮。
波特兰——马刺队代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)希望看到他的球队因为英勇地从落后东部领头羊克利夫兰23分的劣势中奋起反击而得到回报。
不幸的是，对于马刺队和约翰逊来说，哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)在高压下的跑投未能命中，让骑士队得以114-113险胜，结束了周五晚上在霜冻银行中心(Frost Bank Center)的比赛。
“他们拼尽了全力……你希望球能为了他们弹进去，因为他们为此付出了太多，”约翰逊说道。
巴恩斯连续命中3个三分球，为疯狂的14-2的收官攻势画上句号，并在比赛还剩28.6秒时将马刺队的分差缩小到1分。在克利夫兰的达里厄斯·加兰(Darius Garland)在投篮时钟还剩4.6秒时远投不中后，约翰逊在暂停时布置了差点赢得比赛的战术。
巴恩斯在马克斯·斯特鲁斯面前投篮，但球在碰到篮筐后弹出。
“还有四秒钟，我到了篮筐前，投丢了一个上篮，”巴恩斯说。“没什么好想的。”
“我会在任何一个晚上都给哈里森投这个球的机会，”马刺队控球后卫克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)说。“你可能有十分之九的机会投进。”
马刺队（32胜45负）将于周日在波特兰（34胜44负）开始为期四场的客场之旅，这也是他们本赛季的最后一次客场之旅，这场比赛可能会对乐透抽签产生影响。
克利夫兰骑士队从始至终都保持领先，在第一节后半段领先了23分，并在比赛还剩8分钟时领先了16分。
2025年4月4日星期五，在圣安东尼奥霜冻银行中心举行的NBA比赛下半场，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes) (40号)突破克利夫兰骑士队后卫马克斯·斯特鲁斯(Max Strus) (1号)的防守。克利夫兰以114-113击败了马刺队。
德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)为马刺队（32胜45负）贡献了24分。巴恩斯得到23分，新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔得到22分、11次助攻和9个篮板，连续第二场比赛接近拿到他的第一个三双。
“我以为这场比赛我能拿到三双，”卡斯尔说。“我不知道谁在记分台。我以为这场比赛结束时我抢到了（另一个篮板）。”
多诺万·米切尔(Donovan Mitchell)为骑士队（62胜15负）贡献了26分。埃文·莫布里(Evan Mobley)得到25分、12个篮板、5次助攻和3个盖帽。
马刺队前锋杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)（背部）连续缺席了他的第三场比赛。
“他还没有被排除在本赛季之外，但说得委婉一点，那些背部问题可能很棘手，我们会注意这一点，并非常保守地处理，”约翰逊说。

Spurs begin final trip of season after rallying to nearly beat Cavs
San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (5) shoots against Cleveland Cavaliers’ Max Strus, top left, and Evan Mobley (4) during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Friday, April 4, 2025, in San Antonio.
PORTLAND – Acting Spurs coach Mitch Johnson wanted to see his team rewarded for valiantly fighting back from a 23-point deficit against East-leading Cleveland.
Unfortunately for the Spurs and Johnson, Harrison Barnes’ contested running hook didn’t fall, allowing the Cavaliers to escape with a 114-113 win Friday night at the Frost Bank Center.
“They fought their butts off. … You wish the ball would’ve bounced in for their sake because they put so much into this deal,” Johnson said.
Barnes hit consecutive 3-pointers to cap a furious 14-2 closing run and pull the Spurs within a point with 28.6 seconds left. Johnson drew up the play that nearly won the game in a timeout after Cleveland’s Darius Garland misfired from deep at the shot-clock buzzer with 4.6 seconds left.
Barnes put the ball up over Max Strus, but it bounced out after hitting back iron.
“Four seconds, got to the front of the rim, missed a layup,” Barnes said. “Not too much to think about.”
“I’d give Harrison that shot any night,” Spurs point guard Chris Paul said. “You probably make it nine out of 10 times.”
The Spurs (32-45) start a four-game trip - their final one of the season - at Portland (34-44) Sunday in a game that could have lottery implications.
Cleveland, which never trailed, led by 23 points late in the first half and by 16 with eight minutes left.
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (40) drives past Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus (1) during the second half of their NBA game at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Friday, April 4, 2025. Cleveland beat the Spurs 114-113.
Devin Vassell led the Spurs (32-45) with 24 points. Barnes had 23 and rookie Stephon Castle had 22 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds to come close for the second straight game to collecting his first triple-double.
“I thought I had it this game,” Castle said. “I don’t know who was at the scorer’s table. I thought I had it (another rebound) at the end of this game.”
Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers (62-15) with 26 points. Evan Mobley had 25 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and three blocks.
Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (back) missed his third game in a row.
“He has not been ruled out for the season, but those backs can be pesky, to say the least, and we’ll be mindful of that and very conservative,” Johnson said.
