圣安东尼奥错失了争夺夏季联赛冠军的机会。
圣安东尼奥马刺的冠军梦想破灭了。
抱歉。这次没那么戏剧化。
圣安东尼奥马刺的夏季联赛冠军梦想破灭了。症结在于，他们以81-106惨败给了夏洛特黄蜂队。
赛前，马刺夏季联赛队本处于晋级NBA 2K26 拉斯维加斯夏季联赛半决赛的绝佳位置，他们只需要以较大分差获胜即可锁定席位。然而，在首节比赛胶着之后，黄蜂队在第二节打出一波高潮，马刺队再也未能追回比分。
不过，对圣安东尼奥而言，也并非全是坏消息。由于迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 提前结束了夏季联赛征程，所有目光都聚焦在了第14顺位新秀卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 身上。此前，布莱恩特在夏季联赛中凭借防守表现引人关注，但在本场比赛前，他场均仅得到4分，投篮命中率不足20%。本场比赛，他在对阵黄蜂队的比赛中进攻端表现出色。
布莱恩特本场比赛得到16分、5个篮板和3次助攻，投篮9中6，其中三分球6中4。比赛开始时，黄蜂队让大个子莱恩·卡尔克布伦纳 (Ryan Kalkbrenner) “防守”布莱恩特，实则在禁区内放他投三分。布莱恩特迅速命中两记三分，迫使黄蜂队开始重视他的外线投射。他还贡献了几次扎实的突破上篮和一次漂亮的中距离跳投。不过，他的防守不如前几场比赛那么出色，出现了一些防守轮转失位和几次跟丢防守人的情况。第四节，布莱恩特在一次掩护时发生不适接触后离场。在比赛胜负已定的情况下，让他重新登场的决定令人费解。
本场比赛马刺队其他球员在进攻端没有太多亮点。哈里森·英格拉姆 (Harrison Ingram) 在第四节进攻爆发，为自己挣得了不错的数据。他得到17分、4个篮板和4次助攻，其中三分球11中5。这位马刺队的二年级侧翼球员在夏季联赛的进程中表现渐入佳境。作为一名双向合同球员，他会是一个值得关注的球员。
此前，大卫·琼斯-加西亚 (David Jones-Garcia) 一直是马刺夏季联赛队的明星球员。本场比赛他迎来了今夏首次表现不佳，投篮14中4得到12分。在这场失利中，他还贡献了9个篮板和4次助攻。
圣安东尼奥队本周晚些时候还将公布第五场也是最后一场拉斯维加斯夏季联赛比赛的安排。布莱恩特是否会披挂上阵，或者马刺队是否会在他受伤后让他这位乐透秀轮休，仍有待观察。

Carter Bryant finds his offense in the Spurs blowout loss to the Hornets
San Antonio blows its chances of a summer league championship.
The San Antonio Spurs’ championship dreams are dead.
Sorry. Less dramatic this time.
The San Antonio Spurs’ summer league championship dreams are dead. Cause of death: a 106-81 blowout loss to the Charlotte Hornets.
The summer Spurs were in prime position to make the semifinals of the NBA 2K26 Las Vegas Summer League, coming into the game, needing to win by a decent margin to clinch a spot. After a tightly contested first quarter, the Hornets pulled away on the back of a huge second-quarter run that the Spurs could not recover from.
It wasn’t all bad news for San Antonio, though. With no Dylan Harper, who was shut down for the rest of the summer league, all eyes were on fourteenth overall pick, Carter Bryant. Bryant has turned heads in the summer league with his defense, but came into the game averaging just 4 points a game on below 20% shooting from the field. He turned the offense on against Charlotte.
Bryant finished with 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists while shooting 6-9 from the field and 4-6 from three. The Hornets started the game with big man Ryan Kalkbrenner “guarding” Bryant, or standing in the paint and letting him shoot from three. Bryant quickly knocked down a pair of triples to make the Hornets respect him from three. He had a few solid drives to the rim and a sweet mid-range jumper as well. His defense wasn’t quite as good as it has been in previous games, as he missed a few rotations here and there, and lost track of his man a few times. Bryant left the game after some awkward contact on a screen in the fourth quarter. It was a puzzling decision to re-enter Bryant, since the game was already so far out of reach.
There wasn’t much else doing for the Spurs offensively in the game. Harrison Ingram had an offensive outburst in the fourth quarter to earn him a respectable stat line. He had 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, while shooting 5-11 from three. The Spurs’ second-year wing came on strong as the summer has gone along. He’ll be an interesting player to watch for on a two-way contract.
The hero of the Spurs’ summer league team has been David Jones-Garcia. He had his first off-game of the summer, scoring 12 points on 4-14 shooting. He added 9 rebounds and 4 assists in the loss.
San Antonio will have a fifth and final LV summer league game to be announced later this week. It remains to be seen whether Bryant will suit up or if the Spurs will rest the lottery pick after his injury.
