佛罗里达州奥兰多电 — 德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 包办了圣安东尼奥马刺队最后的10分，并在比赛仅剩1.4秒时命中致胜罚球，帮助球队顶住了对手的末段反扑，最终在周三的起亚中心以114-112险胜奥兰多魔术队。
马刺在下半场曾一度手握高达15分的领先优势，但在决胜阶段被对手蚕食殆尽。当弗朗茨·瓦格纳 (Franz Wagner) 在比赛还剩7.7秒时三罚全中后，魔术队自第二节以来首次将比分追平。
福克斯在最后时刻于肘区的一次身体失衡的跳投中造成犯规，在他两罚全中后，卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 在终场哨响之际送出关键封盖，盖掉了瓦格纳的上篮，为马刺队锁定胜局。
“能赢下这种悬念留到最后一刻的比赛，并成为最终的胜利者，这种感觉显然很棒，”科内特说。“能够拿下这场胜利并继续前进，这太棒了。”
福克斯全场20投11中，其中包括7投3中的三分球，砍下全场最高的31分。他在最后3分半钟内命中两记三分，接着在比赛还剩26秒时两罚全中，并在最后时刻命中了致胜罚球。
圣安东尼奥马刺队（15胜6负）本赛季第二次在客场战胜胜率超过五成的球队，使他们在此类对决中的战绩提升至2胜4负。
奥兰多魔术队（13胜9负）在保罗·班切罗 (Paolo Banchero) 因伤缺阵后战绩降至7胜3负，主场六连胜也随之终结。在明星球员维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 缺席的情况下，圣安东尼奥马刺队取得了7胜2负的战绩；而在文班亚马和后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 同时缺阵时，他们的战绩为6胜2负。
“我们今天打的是背靠背的第二场，凌晨4点才抵达这里，我们本可能轻易地输掉这场比赛，”福克斯说。“这无疑展现了这支球队的坚韧，我们正努力继续建设球队，不断向前迈进。”
周三马刺客场爆冷取胜，赛后三大观察：
1. 马刺早早启用深度轮换
为了应对疲惫，马刺队很早就进行了深度轮换，仅在第一节就使用了10名球员，且每人出场时间都至少达到4分半钟。
当林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III) 在第二节开始时替补登场后，他成为了本场比赛马刺队第11位出场的球员。
周三的比赛是马刺队背靠背的第二场，也是一波四连客的首战。当这段赛程结束时，马刺队将在九场比赛中有八场是客场作战。
周三的比赛中，圣安东尼奥有六名球员得分上双，九名球员的出场时间超过13分钟。
“我认为我们的球员在顶住对手反扑方面做得很好，因为我们知道奥兰多是一支非常出色的篮球队，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说。“他们是一支强悍的队伍，这场比赛注定要鏖战48分钟。”
2. 圣安东尼奥变阵防守
在周三比赛的某些时段，马刺队采用了他们很少使用的联防战术，并取得了一定的成功，将魔术队的投篮命中率限制在45%，三分命中率则为32.1%。
这一防守阵型为圣安东尼奥提供了另一种保存体力的方式，而且似乎非常适合对付身体对抗激烈但外线投射能力并不出众的奥兰多队。
由于文班亚马因左小腿拉伤连续第九场缺阵，联防也有助于马刺弥补身高上的不足。除了出战28分钟、身高7英尺1英寸的中锋科内特外，马刺队周三轮换阵容中最高的球员仅为6英尺8英寸。
“我认为这只是为了改变一下场上的局面，”约翰逊在谈到改用联防时说。“我觉得有几次，我们场上的阵容能够很好地执行联防战术，他们做得非常出色。有时候，这就像进攻端一样，你会选择手感火热的球员。当你连续防下几波进攻后，如果它没出问题，你就没必要去改变。所以，我们就坚持了下来。”
3. 失误顽疾再次困扰圣安东尼奥
在周三晚的比赛之前，马刺队已经成为联盟中控制失误最出色的球队之一。自11月14日——即文班亚马和卡斯尔最后一次并肩作战以来，他们场均失误仅为11.1次，为全联盟最低。
这项表现在周二战胜孟菲斯灰熊队的比赛中达到顶峰，当时圣安东尼奥全场仅有6次失误，创下赛季新低。然而对阵魔术队，马刺队仅用一节时间失误数就达到了6次，表现更像是赛季前12场比赛中那支场均失误高达16.9次、排名联盟第26位的球队。
最终，圣安东尼奥在对阵奥兰多的比赛中总共出现了19次失误，其中福克斯出现7次，哈珀则有5次。

3 takeaways as De’Aaron Fox helps Spurs hold off Magic

ORLANDO, Fla. — De’Aaron Fox scored San Antonio’s final 10 points, knocking down the winning free throws with 1.4 seconds remaining as the Spurs fought off a late rally to win 114-112 against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday at the Kia Center.
San Antonio’s lead, which was as large as 15 points during the second half, evaporated down the stretch, with Orlando drawing even for the first time since the second quarter when Franz Wagner knocked down three free throws with 7.7 seconds to play.
Fox drew a foul in the closing seconds on an off-balance jumper from the elbow, and after he made both free throws, Luke Kornet emphatically blocked a layup attempt by Wagner at the buzzer, sealing the Spurs’ victory.
“Being able to win games coming down to the final possession like that, it’s obviously a great feeling to come out on the other end,” Kornet said. “It was great to be able to get that win and keep chugging along.”
Fox finished with a game-high 31 points on 11-of-20 shooting, including 3 of 7 from 3-point range. He connected on a pair of 3-pointers in the final 3½ minutes, then added two free throws with 26 seconds to play before hitting the winning foul shots in the closing seconds.
San Antonio (15-6) picked up a road victory against a team with a winning record for only the second time this season, moving to 2-4 in those matchups.
Orlando (13-9) dropped to 7-3 since Paolo Banchero went out to injury, snapping a six-game home winning streak. San Antonio improved to 7-2 without injured star Victor Wembanyama, standing 6-2 without both Wembanyama and guard Stephon Castle.
“We could’ve easily come in here on the second half of a back-to-back, getting in at 4 a.m., and just lost this game,” Fox said. “It definitely shows how resilient this team is, and we’re continuing to try to build and try to move forward.”
Three takeaways from San Antonio’s road upset Wednesday:
1. Spurs dip deep into bench early and often
San Antonio looked to combat weary legs by dipping deep into the bench early, using 10 players for at least 4½ minutes in the first quarter alone.
Lindy Waters III marked the 11th Spurs player to enter the game when he came off the bench to start the second quarter.
Wednesday’s game was the second half of a back-to-back and the first leg of a four-game road swing. The Spurs will have played eight of nine games on the road by the end of the stretch.
Six San Antonio players scored in double figures Wednesday, and nine played at least 13 minutes.
“I thought our guys did a good job of weathering the storm, because we knew Orlando is a really good basketball team,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “They’re a tough team, and it was going to be a 48-minute game.”
2. San Antonio switches up defense
The Spurs turned to a little-used zone defense for stretches of Wednesday’s game and found moments of success, holding the Magic to 45% shooting and a 32.1% mark from 3-point range.
The defensive look offered San Antonio another way to conserve stamina and seemed to fit against a physical Orlando team not known for its perimeter shooting.
With Wembanyama sitting out a ninth straight game due to a left calf strain, the zone also helped the Spurs mitigate their lack of size. Aside from 7-foot-1 center Kornet, who played 28 minutes, the tallest player in the Spurs’ rotation Wednesday was 6-foot-8.
“I thought just changing up the look,” Johnson said of the move to zone. “I thought there were a couple times for us we had some groups that we felt like executed our zone defense pretty good, and they did a great job. Sometimes, it’s like on offense, you ride a hot hand. You get a couple stops, and you don’t need to change it if it’s not broken. So, we just stayed with it.”
3. Turnover bug comes back to bite San Antonio
Entering Wednesday night, the Spurs had become one of the best teams in the league at avoiding turnovers, averaging an NBA-low 11.1 turnovers per game since Nov. 14 — when Wembanyama and Castle last played together.
That effort peaked in Tuesday’s win against Memphis, as San Antonio posted a new season low with just six turnovers. But against the Magic, the Spurs matched that total by the end of the first quarter, looking more like the group that ranked 26th in the league with an average of 16.9 turnovers through the first 12 games of the season.
San Antonio finished the game against Orlando with 19 turnovers, as Fox committed seven while Harper added five.
