重回这片曾让球队防线丢掉赛季最高分（130分）的场地，米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 所率领的马刺队希望能一雪三周前那场令人失望的失利之耻。
然而，菲尼克斯太阳队似乎找到了克制马刺的法门——至少目前来看是这样。马刺队上半场曾一度领先11分，但灾难性的下半场表现最终导致他们以102-111不敌太阳，吞下赛季第五场败仗。
“我们开局的策略不对，让他们获得了一些过于轻松的出手机会，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊说道。“显然，他们打出了一些精彩的配合，功劳在他们。但我认为，我们在比赛计划的执行上本可以展现出更强的对抗性和纪律性，尤其是在第三节。”
全场比赛，马刺队的投篮命中率仅为41.6%，三分命中率为29.4%，他们在下半场以46-62的得分落后于对手。
太阳队方面，前锋狄龙·布鲁克斯 (Dillon Brooks) 24投10中，得到全队最高的25分。德文·布克 (Devin Booker) 贡献了24分、5个篮板和7次助攻，而乔丹·古德温 (Jordan Goodwin)（15分）、科林·吉莱斯皮（15分）和马克·威廉姆斯 (Mark Williams)（15分）也均得分上双。
以下是周日这场失利的三点复盘，此役过后，马刺队的赛季战绩下滑至11胜5负：
- 失误代价沉重
当你的失误数比对手多出13次时，赢球就会变得异常艰难。本场比赛，马刺队共出现19次失误，而只迫使对手出现6次。
“有时候我们的执行力很草率，责任在我们自己，”约翰逊说。“在我们突破时，他们有几次成功地干扰了我们，原因可能是我们太执着于得分或太执着于传球，而没有顺其自然地阅读防守。我们可能有些急于求成，打得有些仓促，而对手很好地利用了这一点。但这是我们必须去改进的地方。”
马刺队后卫德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 将失误问题归咎于太阳队的身体对抗。
“我认为我们让他们的身体对抗强度主导了比赛，”福克斯说。“我们很多失误都源于此……但我们不能让对手的身体对抗就这样决定比赛的走向。我们必须率先打出强度。而且我认为，即使在我们领先达到两位数的时候，我们在篮板球的争夺上也是处于下风的。那段时间我们能领先，只是因为我们进攻效率极高，防守也做得更好，二次进攻得分在那时对我们的伤害还不算太大。但你不能指望一直如此。而他们则坚持了自己的打法，并最终赢得了比赛。”
- 福克斯的犀利突破
尽管马刺队在身体对抗上或许不及太阳队，但福克斯始终保持着侵略性，整场比赛共16次站上罚球线。他的罚球出手次数（16次）甚至超过了他的运动战出手次数（11次）。
福克斯命中了其中的14记罚球，运动战方面则是11投5中。
“我的意思是，他在[站上罚球线]这方面是精英级别的，”约翰逊说。“他给对方的禁区和整体防守施加了巨大的压力，这也是我们一直期待他做到的。今晚他周围的队友们可能投丢了一些球，如果那些球能进，本可以帮助我们进一步拉开内线空间。但功劳归于对手，他们做得很好，成功地让我们的球停滞下来，并最大限度地减少了我们的球的转移。”
- 凯尔登·约翰逊延续火热状态
在对阵亚特兰大的比赛中，马刺队的资深第六人凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 刚刚以12投9中的高效表现砍下25分，而他将这种效率延续到了本场比赛。
在周日晚对阵菲尼克斯的比赛中，这位七年级摇摆人在25分钟的上场时间里8投6中，得到14分，并抢下6个篮板、送出2次助攻。约翰逊是本场比赛马刺队中效率最高的得分手，并且已经连续四场比赛得分上双。

3 takeaways as Spurs second-half slump leads to loss in Phoenix

Back in the same arena where the Spurs’ defense allowed its highest point total of the season (130), Mitch Johnson’s team hoped it would make up for its disappointing loss that occurred just three weeks earlier.
It appears, however, that the Phoenix Suns have the Spurs’ number – for now at least. Up by 11 in the first half, a disastrous second half led to the Spurs’ fifth loss of the season, as they fell to the Suns, 111-102.
“We didn’t come out with the right approach at the start and they got a few shots that were probably too comfortable,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “They made some plays obviously, so credit to them, but I thought we could have showed a lot more resistance and discipline at times with the gameplan execution, especially in the third quarter.”
The Spurs shot just 41.6% from the floor and 29.4% from three on the night, as they were outscored 62-46 in the second half.
Suns forward Dillon Brooks led the way with 25 points on 10-of-24 shooting. Devin Booker added 24 points, five rebounds and seven assists of his own, while Jordan Goodwin (15), Collin Gillespie (15) and Mark Williams (15) all posted double figures.
Here are three takeaways from Sunday’s loss, which dropped the Spurs to 11-5 on the season:
- Turnovers prove to be costly
It can be difficult to beat teams when you lose the turnover battle by a margin of 13. The Spurs turned the ball over 19 times, while forcing just six.
“(There was) sloppy execution at times, on us,” Johnson said. “(They) got in-between probably a few times when we drove the ball, whether it was too adamant on trying to score or too adamant on trying to pass and not just letting the reads unfold on their own, organically. And we probably got a little ahead of ourselves and rushed at times and they did a good job with that. But that’s just something we’ve got to clean up.”
Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox attributed it to the Suns’ physicality.
“I think we allowed their physicality to dictate the game,” Fox said. “And I think that’s where a lot of our turnovers came from… but we can’t allow that physicality to just be able to dictate the game like that. We have to be able to hit them first. And I think even when we were up, when we got up double digits, we were losing the rebounding battle. A lot of those things, we were just extremely efficient. We were guarding a lot better. The second-chance points weren’t hurting us too much at that point, but you can’t hang your hat on that. And they continued to do what they did and they came out with the win.”
- The Fox finds his hole
While the Spurs may not have matched the Suns’ physicality, Fox remained aggressive, and made is way to the free throw stripe 16 times. Fox attempted more free throws (16) than field goals (11).
Fox cashed in on 14 of those attempts, while shooting 5-of-11 from the floor.
“I mean, he’s elite at [getting to the line],” Johnson said. “He puts so much pressure on the paint, on the defense, and so that’s something we continue to expect from him and we missed some shots probably around him tonight, which probably could have helped continue to open up the paint, but credit to them, they did a good job of making the ball stick and minimizing our ball movement.”
- Keldon Johnson stays hot
Fresh off a stellar 9-of-12 shooting night versus Atlanta where he scored 25 points, Spurs veteran sixth man Keldon Johnson continues to be efficient.
In Phoenix Sunday night, the seventh-year swingman scored 14 points off 6-of-8 shooting, while collecting six rebounds and dishing out two assists, over 25 minutes. Johnson proved to be the Spurs’ most efficient scorer on the night, and has posted double-digit point totals in four straight games.
