在主场激动人心地战胜灰熊队一晚后，马刺队马不停蹄地踏上了又一个四连客之旅。他们直到凌晨4点才抵达奥兰多，并且球队本就人手短缺，因此，任何人将此视为一场计划内的失利都情有可原。然而，这支马刺队与以往的任何版本都截然不同。他们年轻、充满活力且阵容深厚，并凭借这一切最终拖垮了一支以逸待劳、过去11场比赛赢下9场的青年魔术军。
马刺队延续了上一场的良好状态，依靠三分球早早打开局面，前7次出手命中4球。不过，他们也比前一晚更快地在进攻端找到了平衡。正如我们预测的那样，魔术队在内线得分的最大优势得以体现，他们通过一连串过于轻松的上篮得分短暂取得领先，但马刺队均衡的进攻火力仍然占据上风，首节战罢以31-29领先。
人们期待马刺队显露疲态，但他们在第二节的表现却恰恰相反，以27-20单节胜出。在比赛进行到3分钟时双方战成35平后，马刺队打出了一波18-7的攻击波，在还剩3分多钟时将领先优势扩大到11分。随后一连串的失误让魔术队打出了一波7-0的小高潮，看似要在半场结束前抢走势头，但马刺队重新稳住阵脚，凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 的一次强硬上篮和卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 的一记三分（他的三分球开始投开了）帮助球队再次走上正轨，半场结束时以58-49领先。
下半场开始后，马刺队也没有丝毫松懈，德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 和德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 联手拿下开局的6分，将领先优势扩大到13分。但杰伦·萨格斯 (Jalen Suggs) 在进攻端挺身而出，再次激活了魔术队，他们将分差追至8分并迫使马刺队请求暂停。这是一节充满身体对抗、攻防高潮迭起的比赛，双方你来我往，马刺队一度领先多达15分，但随后被魔术队追至仅差5分。12分钟战罢，马刺队以86-79领先。
第四节，背靠背比赛的疲惫感开始在双腿上显现，但即便魔术队不断发起冲击，迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 依然帮助马刺队保持着领先。哈珀的出色发挥让福克斯得以休息，直到比赛还剩3分46秒时才重新登场。看起来“末节之狐”将再次用几个关键投篮带领球队走向胜利，但几次失误让魔术队仍保留着悬念。在比赛还剩16秒、马刺队领先3分时，杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 本有机会终结比赛，但他两罚不中。随后，哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 对另一端的弗朗茨·瓦格纳 (Franz Wagner) 的三分投篮犯规，后者三罚全中，在比赛还剩7.7秒时将比分扳平。
比赛似乎将要进入加时，但乔纳森·艾萨克 (Jonathan Isaac) 伸手对福克斯的最后一攻犯规。福克斯在比赛还剩1.4秒时两罚全中，而卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 在终场哨响时封盖了瓦格纳的上篮，最终以114-112锁定胜局。能在常规时间内解决战斗或许是件好事，因为他们看起来确实已经弹尽粮绝，没有体力再战五分钟了。
比赛观察
- 正如预期的那样，由于昨晚比赛后周转时间极短，主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 进行了大范围轮换，首节就有10名球员获得上场时间，其中包括大卫·琼斯·加西亚 (David Jones Garcia)。他们甚至一度在场上同时派上三名新秀：琼斯·加西亚、哈珀和布莱恩特，搭配约翰逊和索汉。第二节开始时，随着林迪·沃特斯 (Lindy Waters) 替换琼斯·加西亚上场，出场球员人数达到了11人。琼斯·加西亚在几分钟的出场时间里表现不佳，出现了几次粗心的失误。沃特斯在第四节初也获得了这些零碎的出场时间。最终，除了凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 和俾斯麦·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo) 外，所有人都登场比赛了。
- 下半场比赛的身体对抗非常激烈，这更符合人们对这两支球队的预期。裁判在大部分时间里都放任球员对抗（对此我从不抱怨），但感觉奥兰多在争抢篮板时的许多推人动作都逃过了判罚。科内特和索汉都不是软柿子或假摔者，但他们都多次倒地，有时甚至是在背后被明目张胆地双手推搡，而这为魔术队创造了快攻机会。
- 尽管最后上演了英雄戏码，但马刺队本不必让比赛变得如此艰难。他们几乎被糟糕的罚球葬送了比赛，不仅仅是索汉错失的那两次罚球，全队罚球是24罚17中。就连福克斯也投失了前三次罚球，并在赛后表示，他觉得有责任为队友罚进最后那两个球。失误的老毛病也再次出现，马刺队出现了19次失误，让魔术队借此得到了23分，而马刺队仅通过魔术队的10次失误得到13分。
- 尽管11投5中得到16分的数据并不算惊艳，但这对于哈珀来说是一场重要的比赛。如前所述，他是福克斯能够获得长时间休息并以尽可能充沛的精力终结比赛的关键原因，他的5个篮板和5次助攻也至关重要。他并非完美，出现了5次失误，其中有几次不符合他平时水准的失误让他自己都直摇头，但作为一个新秀，这孩子毫无畏惧，未来可期。
本场最佳镜头
最后阶段有几个镜头可以候选，但最佳镜头必须是科内特的制胜封盖，而他的庆祝动作让这一刻更加完美。

Tired Spurs use team effort and clutch play to vanquish the Magic
One night after an exciting win at home against the Grizzlies, the Spurs found themselves right back out on the road for another four-game road trip. They didn’t land in Orlando until 4 AM and are already shorthanded, so anyone who saw this as a scheduled loss could be excused. However, this Spurs team is just different than previous iterations. They’re young, energetic and deep, and they used all that to outlast a rising Magic team that was well rested and had won 9 of their last 11.
The Spurs picked up where they left off by relying on threes to get them going early, hitting 4 of their first 7. However, they also found a good balance on offense sooner than the night before. As predicted, the Magic’s biggest strength of scoring in the paint came to fruition with a brief stretch of too-easy layups that briefly gave them the lead, but the Spurs’ balanced attack still prevailed with them leading 31-29 after 12 minutes.
The wait for the Spurs to tire out continued as they looked anything-but in the second quarter, outscoring the Magic 27-20. After things were tied up at 35 apiece three minutes in, Spurs used an extended 18-7 run to get the lead out to 11 with just over 3 minutes left. A slew of turnovers led to a 7-0 run from the Magic and looked like they might steal the momentum heading into halftime, but the Spurs regrouped, and a tough layup from Keldon Johnson and three from Carter Bryant (they’re starting to fall for him) helped get things right again as they led 58-49 at the half.
There was no letdown to start the second half either, with De’Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell scoring the first six points to get the lead out to 13, but Jalen Suggs came alive on offense to get the Magic going again, and they got the lead back down to 8 and forced a timeout. Both teams continued to have responses to each other in a streaky, physical quarter in which the Spurs led by as much as 15 before the Magic got back within five, and the Spurs led 86-79 with 12 minutes left.
The fourth quarter is when the legs start getting tired on a back-to-back, but Dylan Harper kept the Spurs ahead, even as the Magic kept making pushes. Harper’s play allowed Fox to rest until there was 3:46 left, and it seemed like Fourth Quarter Fox would lead them to victory again with a few huge shots, but a couple of turnovers kept the Magic in it. Jeremy Sochan had a chance to put it away with the Spurs up three with 16 seconds left, but he missed both free throws. Harrison Barnes then fouled Franz Wagner on a three on the other end, and he hit all three FT’s to tie things up with 7.7 seconds left.
It looked like they were headed to OT, but Jonathan Isaac reached and fouled Fox on his last ditch effort. He hit both free throws with 1.4 left, and Luke Kornet blocked a Wagner lay-up attempt at the buzzer to seal the deal at 114-112. It was probably a good thing they pulled it out in regulation, because it finally felt like they were out of gas and wouldn’t have had the stamina for another five minutes of play.
Game Notes
- Mitch Johnson predictably went deep into the bench with the short turnaround from last night, with 10 players getting minutes in the first quarter, including David Jones Garcia. At one point, they even had three rookies in, with DJG, Harper and Bryant alongside Johnson and Sochan. The player count was up to 11 to start the second quarter with Lindy Waters coming in for Jones Garcia, who had a rough few minutes with a couple of careless turnovers. Waters also got those bit minutes to start the fourth quarter, and in the end, everyone but Kelly Olynyk and Bismack Biyombo played.
- This was a very physical game in the second half, much more in line with what was expected from these two clubs. The refs let them play for the most part (which I’ll never complain about), but it sure felt like Orlando was getting away with a lot of shoves on rebounds in particular. Neither Kornet or Sochan are pushovers or floppers, but they both ended up on the ground on multiple occasions, sometimes with blatant two-handed shoves in the back, and that would open up fast break opportunities for the Magic.
- Despite the late game heroics, the Spurs made things harder on themselves than it had to be. They were nearly done in by poor free throw shooting, and not just on the two missed by Sochan, but they were 17-24 overall. Even Fox missed his first three and said after the game he felt like he owed it to his teammates to make those last two. Turnovers also reared their ugly head again, with the Spurs committing 19 of them for 23 extra Magic points, as opposed to just 13 points conceded off 10 Orlando turnovers.
- Even though the stats of 16 points on 5-11 shooting don’t jump off the page, this was a big game for Harper. As previously mentioned, he was a huge reason why Fox was able to rest so long and be as fresh as possible to close the game, and his 5 rebounds and 5 assists were also massive. He wasn’t perfect with 5 turnovers, including a couple of uncharacteristic ones that him shaking his head at himself, but this kid has no fear for a rookie and is going to be special.
Play of the Game
There were several candidates down the stretch, but it has to be the game-winning block by Kornet, and his celebration makes it even better.
