旧金山 – 在过去的79场比赛中，哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)一直是马刺队里那个情绪稳定的先生。
从不狂喜，从不沮丧，总是面无表情。
赛后更衣室里，他经常戴着眼镜，带着一种学究气息，这是马刺队这群喧闹的年轻球员无法比拟的。
即使在周三用一记压哨三分球击碎了金州勇士队的心脏后，巴恩斯仍然试图保持着这种表象。
但只持续了大约两秒钟。
当这个制胜球划破球网，帮助马刺队以114-111战胜勇士队时，巴恩斯仍然面无表情。
然后，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)跳起来和他胸部相撞，哈里森·英格拉姆几乎从后面勒住了他。
庆祝开始了。
“这些家伙疯了，”巴恩斯后来说道。
对于早已无缘季后赛的马刺队来说，这是一场具有赛季意义的胜利。
对于正在努力直接进入西部季后赛的金州勇士队来说，这是一次沉重的打击。
“我们只是给自己增加了难度，”金州勇士队的斯蒂芬·库里(Stephen Curry)说。
巴恩斯，这位前首轮秀和勇士队的NBA总冠军成员，得到了20分——没有一分比在比赛结束时，在吉米·巴特勒(Jimmy Butler)头上投中的那记反身跳投三分球更重要。
这一球让大通中心18,064名观众鸦雀无声，并在马刺队的场边引发了一场庆祝狂潮。
2025年4月9日星期三，在旧金山大通中心举行的圣安东尼奥马刺队对阵金州勇士队的比赛中，哈里森·巴恩斯(40)在吉米·巴特勒(10)头上投中最后一秒的制胜球。马刺队凭借巴恩斯(40)在最后一秒投中的三分球以114-111获胜
“我认为我们的球员配得上这场胜利，”马刺队的代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)说，“对于他们这一年的表现，在第80场比赛中，他们为之奋斗的方式，我相信他们配得上这场胜利。”
新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔和凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)各得21分，带领马刺队前进，其中凯尔登·约翰逊在第四节的拉锯战中拿下了10分。
马刺队顶住了库里的30分和巴特勒的28分，巴特勒仅出手8次就得到了这个分数。巴特勒的罚球是17罚16中。
巴恩斯用他手腕的一次“圣母玛利亚”式的投篮，让这一切都变得毫无意义。
“整个赛季都没有太多亮点，”克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)说，“这是一个亮点。”
勇士队当晚以西部第六的身份进入比赛，并计划升至第四。然而，金州勇士队却跌至第七，并发现自己有跌入附加赛的危险。
马刺队在本赛季的最后两场比赛中也有自己的动力。
“我们可能不是为了季后赛而战，但我们肯定是为了未来几年而战，”朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)说，“每一场比赛对我们和我们所追求的目标都很重要。”
以下是周三这场激动人心的胜利（使马刺队的战绩提高到33胜47负）的三个要点：
- 巴恩斯回报了马刺队的信任
五天前，马刺队在主场对阵克利夫兰骑士队时，有机会赢得一场绝杀胜利。他们也选择了巴恩斯。
巴恩斯在油漆区投丢了一个近距离跳投，骑士队以114-113侥幸逃脱了马刺队的爆冷尝试。在旧金山，当比赛胜负悬于一线时，米奇·约翰逊毫不犹豫地再次选择了巴恩斯。
“有机会尝试弥补总是好的，”巴恩斯说。
这个战术再次旨在让巴恩斯向篮筐移动。巴特勒的防守太好了，巴恩斯别无选择，只能选择后撤步三分球。
32岁的巴恩斯以一种禅宗般的心态面对这一刻。

“对于一个制胜球来说，”巴恩斯说，“你必须敢于出手。”
当巴恩斯的那次出手落入球网时，马刺队不仅仅是在庆祝一场绝杀胜利。他们是在庆祝他们最喜欢的资深队友的救赎。
“那个家伙配得上那个时刻，”米奇·约翰逊说，“我很高兴他得到了它。”
- 防守是战胜勇士的关键
十天前，勇士队来到霜冻银行中心，给了马刺队一场惨痛的教训。
金州勇士队以148-106取得压倒性胜利，追平了马刺队历史上第五大输球纪录。
因此，当勇士队在周三的复赛中以11-0开局，马刺队需要4分19秒才能得到第一分时，客队很容易放弃抵抗。
“我为球员们感到非常自豪，”米奇·约翰逊说，“我们并没有真正退缩。我们从未让他们离我们太远。我们始终保持在触手可及的距离。”
马刺队反弹并在半场结束时以55-51领先，然后在第三节还剩一分钟时再次落后14分。
第四节的出色防守——尤其是在关键时刻，马刺队在关键时刻迫使勇士队出现三次失误——使他们能够依靠巴恩斯的制胜球获胜。
“我们没有垂头丧气，”尚帕尼说，“我们投进了一些球，还有H.B.的那次高难度投篮，我们最终获胜。但我认为让我们坚持下去的是，我们没有垂头丧气。”
- 马刺队有扮演搅局者的习惯
在某种程度上，这场比赛让人想起去年四月的一场比赛，当时马刺队在德文特·格雷厄姆(Devonte’ Graham)在比赛还剩0.9秒时投中的制胜抛投中击败了卫冕NBA冠军丹佛掘金队。
输给一支正在走向22胜的马刺队的这场比赛，让掘金队失去了西部头号种子的位置，并最终破坏了他们的冠军卫冕之路。
那场比赛发生在他们上赛季倒数第二场比赛。本赛季，马刺队在倒数第三场比赛中“劫持”了勇士队。
“我们已经说了80场比赛了，”米奇·约翰逊说，“我们的标准就是标准。我们没有跳过任何步骤。我们专注于在每次机会中变得更好。球员们都实践了这一点。”
巴恩斯的压哨绝杀是马刺队自2019年1月以来的第一次，当时鲁迪·盖伊(Rudy Gay)的最后一秒跳投击败了菲尼克斯太阳队。
在周三之前，马刺队上一次在客场赢得绝杀胜利是在2011年2月，当时安东尼奥·麦克戴斯(Antonio McDyess)的补篮让洛杉矶湖人队震惊不已。

3 Takeaways as Harrison Barnes comes up clutch for Spurs vs. Warriors

SAN FRANCISCO – For 79 games, Harrison Barnes had been Mr. Even Keeled for the Spurs.
Never too high. Never too low. Often stone-faced.
In the locker room after the game, often decked out in spectacles, he carries a professorial air that the Spurs’ raucous roster of kids can not hope to equal.
Even after ripping out the Golden State Warriors’ hearts with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer Wednesday, Barnes tried to keep up with the facade.
It lasted about two seconds.
Barnes stayed expressionless as this game-winner rippled through the net to give the Spurs’ a 114-111 victory over the Warriors.
Then Stephon Castle leapt in the air to chest-bump him. Harrison Ingram practically strangled him from behind.
The celebration was on.
“These guys are nuts,” Barnes said later.
For the Spurs, long since eliminated from postseason contention, it was a season-making kind of victory.
For the Warriors, scrapping to try and make the Western Conference playoff bracket outright, it was a gut-punch of a loss.
“We just made it a little harder on ourselves,” Golden State’s Stephen Curry said.
Barnes, a former first-round pick and NBA champion with Golden State, had 20 points – none bigger than the tie-breaking, turnaround 3-pointer over Jimmy Butler that dropped as time expired.
That shot silenced a sellout crowd of 18,064 at the Chase Center and sparked a celebratory mosh pit on the Spurs’ sideline.

“I think our guys deserved that,” Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson said. “For the year they’ve had, in Game 80, the way they fought for that, I believe they deserved that.”
Rookie Stephon Castle and Keldon Johnson scored 21 points apiece to lead the Spurs, with Johnson getting 10 of his during a back-and-forth fourth quarter.
The Spurs survived 30 points from Curry and 28 from Butler, who reached that total on eight field-goal tries. Butler was 16 of 17 from the foul line.
With one Hail Mary flick of his wrist, Barnes rendered all of that moot.
“There ain’t been a lot of bright spots all season long,” point guard Chris Paul said. “That was one of them.”
The Warriors came into the night in sixth place in the Western Conference standings, with designs on moving up to fourth. Instead, Golden State dropped to seventh and finds itself in danger of falling into the play-in tournament.
The Spurs have their own impetus over the final two games of the season.
“We may not be playing for the playoffs, but we’re definitely playing for what’s to come in the next coming years,” forward Julian Champagnie said. “Every game is important to us and what we’re playing for.”
Here are three takeaways from Wednesday’s thrilling victory, which improved the Spurs to 33-47:
1. Barnes rewarded Spurs’ faith
Five nights earlier, the Spurs had a chance for a walk-off win at home against Cleveland. They went to Barnes in that situation as well.
Barnes missed a short-runner in the paint, and the Cavaliers survived the Spurs’ upset bid 114-113. With the game on the line in San Francisco, Mitch Johnson did not hesitate to call Barnes’ number again.
“It’s always good to have the opportunity to try and make it right,” Barnes said.
The play was again designed to get Barnes moving toward the basket. Butler defended it so well, Barnes was left no option but a fadeaway 3-pointer.
The 32-year-old Barnes approached the moment Zen-like.

“The thing with a game-winning shot,” Barnes said, “is you’ve got to take the shot.”
When Barnes’ heave dropped through the net, the Spurs weren’t just celebrating a walk-off victory. They were celebrating redemption for one of their favorite veteran teammates.
“That guys deserved that moment,” Mitch Johnson said. “I’m glad he got it.”
2. Defense makes big difference vs. Warriors
Ten days earlier, the Warriors came to the Frost Bank Center and gave the Spurs a whipping for the ages.
Golden State’s dominant 148-106 triumph tied for the fifth-worth defeat in Spurs history.
So when the Warriors opened Wednesday’s rematch with an 11-0 lead, with the Spurs needing 4:19 to record their first points, it might have been easy for the visiting team to let go of the rope.
“I’m just really proud of the guys,” Mitch Johnson said. “We didn’t really blink. We never let it get too far away from us. It was always in striking distance.”
The Spurs bounced back to take a 55-51 lead into halftime, then found themselves behind again by 14 with a minute left in the third quarter.
Solid defense in the fourth quarter – and especially down the stretch, when the Spurs forced three Warriors turnovers in crunch time – put them in position for Barnes’ game-winner.
“We didn’t put our heads down,” Champagnie said. “We made some shots and H.B.’s heave and we got the dub. But I think what kept us in it was just that, us not putting our heads down.”
3. The Spurs have a habit of playing spoiler
In a way, the game was reminiscent of one from last April, when the Spurs defeated the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets on Devonte’ Graham’s game-winning floater with 0.9 seconds to play.
That loss to a Spurs team on its way to 22 wins cost the Nuggets the top seed in the West, and ultimately derailed their title defense.
That came in the second-to-last game of last season. The Spurs hijacked the Warriors this season in the third-to-last game.
“We’ve been saying it for 80 games,” Mitch Johnson said. “Our standard is the standard. We haven’t skipped steps. We are focused on getting better every opportunity we have. Those guys have lived that.”
Barnes’ walk-off buzzer-beater was the first for the Spurs since January 2019, when Rudy Gay’s last-second jumper beat Phoenix.
Before Wednesday, the Spurs’ last walk-off win on the road came in February of 2011, when Antonio McDyess’ tip-in stunned the Los Angeles Lakers.
