圣安东尼奥马刺队在四天三赛的客场之旅中，最终未能抵挡住斗志旺盛的克利夫兰骑士队。上半场双方势均力敌，但马刺的转换防守表现得比以往更加疲软，让骑士队在禁区内为所欲为，并最终凭借第三节的强势攻击波一举击溃了客队。
德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 在第一节手感滚烫，他命中四记三分，博得罚球机会，还在篮下封盖了埃文·莫布里 (Evan Mobley)。同时，马刺也得益于克利夫兰糟糕的控球，外加凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 和杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 点燃了替补席的火力。然而，进入第二节时，他们也仅仅手握五分的领先优势。
马刺的防守在限制对手得分方面举步维艰，尤其是在对位莫布里时。骑士队则在主场观众的助威下打得十分起劲，始终没有让马刺队将领先优势扩大。然而，马刺的替补席持续贡献火力，德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 发挥出色，瓦塞尔也再添三记三分，使其个人得分达到25分，投篮命中率高达63.6%，帮助球队带着八分的领先优势进入中场休息。
骑士队抓住了马刺开局的松懈，仅用两分钟便完成反超。第三节比赛中，领先优势又四次易主，但马刺的球的转移几乎完全停滞。过多的单打独斗导致球队被对手打出一波8-0的攻势，落后分数达到两位数，迫使教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 多次叫出暂停来止血。无论是在暂停期间米奇还是凯尔登·约翰逊试图激励球队，都收效甚微，分差在进入第四节时被拉大到了17分。
尽管马刺队员们积极拼抢地板球，进攻端也找回了一些流畅性，但克利夫兰依然能持续突入防守腹地，获得近距离出手机会或分球给外线。约翰逊教练在比赛还剩两分钟时鸣金收兵。
赛后观察：
- 由于可靠的卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 因脚踝伤势缺阵，马刺队的内线尤为脆弱，俾斯麦·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo) 顶替他首发出场。比永博在有限的上场时间里表现尚可，但索汉是表现更出色的那名球员，他凭借在篮板上的积极拼抢为队友创造了额外的机会。他在扣篮位的积极跑动也让他处于争抢篮板的绝佳位置。然而，马刺队的阵容身高依然严重不足，内线防线并不稳固。
- 骑士队在缺少首发控卫达里厄斯·加兰 (Darius Garland) 和中锋贾勒特·阿伦 (Jarrett Allen) 的情况下，投篮创造能力被严重削弱，这也给多诺万·米切尔 (Donovan Mitchell) 和莫布里组织进攻带来了更大的压力。然而，他们获得了大量空位三分机会，并且把握住了其中的一部分，这是他们获胜的关键原因。第三节的爆发改变了比赛的走向。这就像观看一场激烈胶着的拳击比赛，其中一方的身体遭到了对手的重击，随即受伤，这让对手得以在比分上拉开差距，而受伤的一方只能苦苦支撑。马刺在第四节一度将分差追至个位数。
- 对于马刺来说，莫布里是一个巨大的错位点，在缺少维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的情况下，他们根本无法限制他。一旦让莫布里在近距离接到球，马刺在该回合的防守基本就宣告结束了。
- 在父亲罗恩·哈珀 (Ron Harper) 的场边观战下，迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 开场连续投失了九次出手。这无疑是他年轻职业生涯中最糟糕的一场表现。在场上，他一度在突入禁区时只想着传球。他的表现甚至还不如那位名不见经传的“马刺杀手”小克雷格·波特 (Craig Porter Jr.)。请记住这个名字。他的节奏不会被对手打乱，并且无论有球还是无球，他都拥有出色的直觉。
- 福克斯在上半场是进攻端的大杀器，在场上予取予求。然而，他下半场的疲软表现让其影响力大打折扣，并且在与米切尔的对位中完全落于下风。

San Antonio vs Cleveland, Final Score: Cavs gut Spurs, 130-117
The San Antonio Spurs, in their third city in four nights, couldn’t withstand the feisty Cleveland Cavaliers. The teams played evenly for the first half, but the Spurs transition defense was weaker than normal and Cleveland got everything they wanted in the lane en route to a massive third quarter that put the visitors away.
Devin Vassell was scorching in the first quarter, nailing four 3-pointers, getting to the line, and blocking Evan Mobley at the rim. The Spurs also got extra help from Cleveland’s poor ball security, plus Keldon Johnson and Jeremy Sochan kindled the bench mob. Yet they only had a five-point lead going into the second quarter.
The defense had a rough time getting stops, particularly against Mobley. Naturally, the Cavs played to the crowd, never letting the Spurs race off with a large enough lead. However the bench kept delivering, De’Aaron Fox did his thing and Vassell added three more treys, pushing his output to 25 points on 63.6 percent shooting, which carried them to intermission ahead by eight.
The Cavaliers caught the Spurs napping and only took two minutes to pull ahead. Four more lead changes followed in the third, but the Spurs’ ball movement all but came to a halt. the one-on-one play resulted in an 8-0 run that put them behind double figures, forcing coach Mitch Johnson to call multiple time outs to stop the bleeding. Whether it was Mitch or Keldon Johnson trying to inspire the team during breaks, it didn’t make much of a difference as their deficit swelled to 17 points going into the fourth.
In spite of diving for loose balls and some of the offensive flow retuning, Cleveland kept getting to the heart of the defense for close-range shots and kick outs. Johnson waved the white flag with two minutes left.
Game Notes:
- The Spurs were extra vulnerable with trusty Luke Kornet out with an ankle injury, so Bismack Biyombo started for him. He was serviceable in short minutes, but Sochan was the superior player and bought teammates extra opportunities with his hustle on the glass. All of his activity next to the dunker spot put him in prime position for rebounds. Yet, they were still terribly small and the backline resistance was not strong.
- The Cavaliers being without their starting point guard( Darius Garland) and center (Jarrett Allen) severely diminished their shot creation, and added stress on Donovan Mitchell and Mobley to run the offense. Yet a lot of their 3-point attempts were clean, and their ability to make some of those was a significant reason why they won. The eruption in the third changed the game. It was the equivalent of seeing a close, action fight, where one pugilist takes a savage strike to the body, subsequently getting hurt, allowing the opponent to create separation on the cards while they hold on. The Spurs could get within single digits in the fourth.
- Mobley was a mismatch for the Spurs, and they had no hope of containing him without Victor Wembanyama. As soon as he got within close range, it was practically over for the defense on that possession.
- Dylan Harper started missing his first nine shots as his father Ron watched from his court-side seat. It was easily his worst performance of his young career. At one point, he was only looking to pass when going into the lane. He was even outplayed by the random Spurs killer, Craig Porter Jr. Remember the name. He can’t be sped up and has excellent instincts on and off the ball.
- Fox was an offensive beast, getting anywhere he wanted in the first half. Yet he watered down his impact with a weak second, and he was outplayed by Mitchell.
