洛杉矶电 — 继维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 又一次在进攻端表现低迷后，马刺队遭遇了本赛季的首次连败。
凭借卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic) 砍下的35分13次助攻以及德安德烈·艾顿 (Deandre Ayton) 贡献的22分，湖人队最终以118-116力克马刺队。这场比赛因双方合计高达66次犯规而断断续续，持续了近三个小时。
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 本有机会将比赛拖入加时，但在比赛仅剩0.2秒、湖人队以最终比分领先时，他罚丢了第一记罚球。在尚帕尼第二罚不中后，凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 尝试补篮也未能成功。
三天前，在以118-130不敌菲尼克斯太阳的比赛中，文班亚马仅得到9分。本场对阵湖人，他14投5中得到19分，但在比赛还剩1分39秒时犯满离场。当时洛杉矶以113-112领先，他在一次底线移动中被吹罚撞人，对八村垒 (Rui Hachimura) 进攻犯规。马刺队对该判罚提出挑战，但经回放审议后维持原判。
在最后几分钟，因小腿和手腕伤势痊愈而迎来赛季首秀的杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 和哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 也相继犯满离场。
湖人队取得五连胜，战绩提升至6胜2负。而马刺队在取得队史最佳的5胜0负开局后，遭遇了两连败。
以下是本赛季马刺与湖人三次交锋中首场对决的三点总结：
接下来，科内特和福克斯亟待回归
随着索汉、前锋/中锋凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk)（脚跟伤）和后卫林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III)（眼部伤）迎来赛季首秀，马刺队在恢复全员健康方面迈出了正确的一步。
三人之中，索汉的状态最为出色，他在23分钟内7投6中，贡献16分。他在防守端也表现稳健，并展现出了他那赖以成名的纠缠对手的能力，状态仿佛已至赛季中期。他的高光时刻包括：在比赛还剩8分51秒时，接卡斯尔的空中接力传球完成暴扣，帮助马刺以101-93领先；以及在还剩7分23秒时命中一记底角三分，将优势扩大到106-97。
沃特斯同样有一些亮眼表现，他在14分钟内三分线外2投2中，得到6分。
奥利尼克（9分钟内得到4分、4个篮板和3次助攻）则难以摆脱久疏战阵的生疏感，这种情况可能还会持续一段时间。这位征战联盟13年的球员在防守端举步维艰，尤其是在上半场还剩8分39秒时，文班亚马领到第三次犯规下场之后。
奥利尼克是三人中缺阵时间最长的，他在新奥尔良的赛季结束后不久，于四月份接受了脚跟手术。
考虑到奥利尼克在防守端的挣扎，马刺队迫切需要能够护筐的替补中锋卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 尽快回归。同样急需回归的还有后卫德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)，在新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 因小腿拉伤无限期缺阵，以及文班亚马难以重现在前五场比赛中展现的进攻统治力的情况下，福克斯的存在比以往任何时候都更为重要。
文班亚马应对围剿式防守步履维艰
这位全明星中锋在帮助马刺队取得队史纪录的5胜0负开局期间，场均能得到30.2分，但在过去两场比赛中，他一直难以适应对手蜂拥而上的包夹防守。
“我之前还没见过其他球队采用这样的防守策略，所以我们需要作为一个整体去适应，”他说道。
教练组和他的队友们都坚信球队能够做到这一点。而福克斯的回归可能会让这个过程变得容易得多。
保护球权应成为卡斯尔的首要任务
赛前，湖人队主教练JJ·雷迪克 (JJ Redick) 对这位2025年的年度最佳新秀赞不绝口。
“他是一名非常出色的球员，”雷迪克说。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 的表现不负赞誉，他贡献了16分、8次助攻和3次抢断，并且让东契奇的35分拿得并不轻松。
但他比赛中的一个瑕疵再次暴露出来。本场比赛前，他以场均4.8次失误高居联盟榜首，而今天他又出现了6次失误。
“很显然，6次失误太多了，他自己也同意这一点，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说。“他的一些失误实在是不合时宜且不可接受的，我们必须在这方面做得更好。”
考虑到卡斯尔的职业精神和他渴望成为伟大球员的决心，我们有理由相信他最终会减少这些失误。

LOS ANGELES — The Spurs have their first losing streak of the season after Victor Wembanyama struggled through another sub-par offensive performance.
Luka Doncic had 35 points and 13 assists and Deandre Ayton had 22 points as the Lakers outlasted the Spurs 118-116 in a game marred by a whopping 66 combined fouls that lasted nearly three hours.
Julian Champagnie had a chance to force overtime, but he missed his first free throw with 0.2 seconds left with the Lakers ahead by the final score. Keldon Johnson failed on an attempt to tap in the ball after Champagnie’s second miss.
Three days after he scored just nine points in a 130-118 loss at Phoenix, Wembanyama had 19 on 5 of 14 from the field against the Lakers before fouling out with 1:39 left in the game when he got whistled for charging into Rue Hachimura on a baseline move with L.A. leading 113-112. The Spurs challenged the call, but it was upheld upon review.
Jeremy Sochan, who made his season debut after healing from calf and wrist injuries, and Harrison Barnes also fouled out in the final minutes.
The Lakers improved to 6-2 with their fifth straight win. The Spurs have lost two in a row after starting the season a franchise-best 5-0.
Here are three takeways from the first of three meetings with the Lakers:
Now, Kornet and Fox need to return
The Spurs took a step in the right direction toward regaining full health with Sochan, forward/center Kelly Olynyk (heel) and guard Lindy Waters III (eye) making their season debuts.
Of the three, Sochan looked the sharpest, finishing with 16 points on 6 of 7 from the floor in 23 minutes. He was also solid defensively and showed mid-season form in terms of his famed ability to pester opponents. Among his highlights: A slam off a lob pass from Castle with 8:51 left in the game that gave the Spurs a 101-93 lead and a corner 3 with 7:23 for a 106-97 advantage.
Waters also had some good moments, finishing with six points on 2 of 2 from beyond the arc in 14 minutes.
Olynyk (four points, four rebounds and three assists in nine minutes) struggled to shake off his considerable rust, which will likely be the case for a while. The 13th-year journeyman had a tough time defensively, especially after Wembanyama went to the bench after picking up his third foul with 8:39 left in the first half.
Olynyk had the longest layoff of the three after undergoing heel surgery in April shortly after his season ended in New Orleans.
Given Olynyk’s difficulties defensively, the Spurs can’t get rim-protecting backup center Luke Kornet back soon enough. Same goes for guard De’Aaron Fox, who is needed more than ever with rookie guard Dylan Harper out indefinitely with a strained calf and Wembanyama struggling to regain the dominance he showed offensively in the first five games.
Wembanyama having tough time with swarming defenses
The All-Star center averaged 30.2 points per game in helping the Spurs get off to a franchise-record 5-0 start, but he’s struggled the last two games to adjust to swarming double-teams.
“I haven’t seen this kind of defense from teams, so we need to adapt as a collective,” he said.
To a man, the coaching staff and his teammates believe that will happen. The return of Fox probably will make it a lot easier.
Ball security needs to be a Castle priority
Lakers coach JJ Redick heaped praise on the 2025 rookie of the year before the game.
“He’s a terrific player,” Redick said.
Castle lived up to the praise by recording 16 points, eight assists and three steals while making Doncic work for his 35 points.
But the one flaw in his game surfaced again. He committed six turnovers after entering the game averaging a league-high 4.8 per game.
“I think obviously six turnovers is too much and he agrees with that,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson. “Some of his turnovers are just inappropriate and unacceptable, and we’ll have to be better with that.”
Given Castle’s work ethic and his desire to be great, it’s a safe bet that he’ll eventually cut down on the mistakes.
