在以124-113击败奇才后，马刺队目前的战绩已攀升至西部第二，并取得了常规赛六连胜。凭借出色的第二节，圣安东尼奥建立起了巨大的领先优势，尽管华盛顿这支阵容严重不整的球队奋力追赶，但最终还是功亏一篑。维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 再次替补出战，在22分钟内贡献了14分、12个篮板、2次助攻和2次盖帽。
比赛开局并不精彩。奇才队缺少关键球员，并且正处于背靠背比赛的第二场，他们在半场进攻中显然缺乏足够的天赋来稳定执行战术并创造优势。而马刺队面对这样一支实力不济且伤兵满营的对手，表现得有些松懈，这也情有可原。双方的能量和比赛水平都不高。在普遍的混乱中，特里斯坦·武克切维奇 (Tristan Vukcevic) 成为华盛顿阵中最有威胁的武器。这位大个子命中了一些外线投篮，并在内线积极拼抢，引领着球队的进攻。卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 用几次篮下得手作为回应，哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 的状态也比前段时间要好，但即便有文班亚马在场，圣安东尼奥看起来依旧无精打采。首节结束，银黑军团落后两分。
若是在赛季早期，看到马刺被对手拉到同一水平线上或许会令人担忧，但最近，这支阵容更健康的球队似乎已经找到了他们的杀手本能。达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 在第一节末段命中几球后，在第二节开场便火力全开。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 也加入了得分行列，得分对圣安东尼奥来说突然不再是难题。防守强度稍有提升，便足以压制住华盛顿非常有限的进攻火力。米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 教练派上了大个阵容，让凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 与文班亚马一同获得了大量出场时间，这使得球队在原有的巨大天赋优势之外，又增添了身高优势。无论奇才在防守端尝试何种策略，都无济于事。半场结束时，马刺已领先20分。
如果马刺能在下半场保持同样的强度，那自然是再好不过，但可以理解，这种强度没能延续。奇才队值得称赞，他们努力提升比赛节奏，打出了充满身体对抗的防守，并命中了一些高难度投篮，但圣安东尼奥看起来有些自满，满足于控制分差而非继续扩大优势，这也让对手追分变得更容易。虽然第三节的比赛观赏性没有太大提升，但至少变得更有趣了——华盛顿的后卫们频频命中三分，打起了快节奏，同时他们的一套小个阵容在面对马刺一名甚至有时是两名传统中锋时也毫不示弱。如前所述，马刺只是做了必要的工作来遏制对手，他们在执行漂亮的攻防回合与出现非受迫性失误或精力不集中之间来回切换。三节战罢，领先优势缩水至12分。
尽管华盛顿在周六爆冷击败灰熊后，拼尽全力试图完成连续第二天的大逆转，但马刺的胜利似乎从未真正受到威胁。奇才队根本没有足够的人手来维持疯狂的进攻节奏，并在防守端保护禁区，尤其是在一些关键球员陷入犯规困扰的情况下。这支顽强的挑战者几度将分差缩小到个位数，并且单节还赢了马刺一分，但他们始终未能将差距迫近到九分以内。文班亚马整节都坐在板凳上，这也表明马刺有信心在让超级巨星节省体力的情况下，依然能够带走胜利。这算不上一场精彩的比赛，但足以让圣安东尼奥击败一支缺少多名轮换球员的联盟垫底球队，将赛季战绩提升至21胜7负。
赛后观察：
- 由于亚历克斯·萨尔 (Alex Sarr) 和马文·巴格利三世 (Marvin Bagley III) 缺阵，马刺的中锋们在内线予取予求。卢克·科内特得到赛季新高的20分，外加12个篮板。文班在有限的时间里拿下14分和12个篮板。甚至凯利·奥利尼克在双中锋阵容里也贡献了高效的比赛时间。圣安东尼奥全场抢下20个进攻篮板，得到32分的二次进攻得分和56分的内线得分。除了第三节奇才的小个阵容造成了一些麻烦外，身高优势是本场获胜的主要因素。
- 德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 本场比赛表现平平，而哈里森·巴恩斯则随着时间推移表现逐渐沉寂。他们的贡献对阵奇才时足够了，但面对更强的对手时，马刺需要他们做得更多。接下来两场对阵雷霆的比赛，将是对首发阵容的绝佳考验——当然，前提是文班取代科内特的位置。
- 首发后卫们表现出色。达龙·福克斯的三分命中率继续达到他个人前所未有的水准，7次出手命中5球。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔则在一个投篮手感不佳的夜晚，通过不断冲击内线站上罚球线，硬是拼下了一个两双。他们的产出总是至关重要，但在迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 全场8投0中、表现得像个新秀的夜晚，他们的发挥就显得尤为关键。后卫线的深度依然是球队的一大优势。
- 奥利尼克遭到了华盛顿主场球迷的嘘声，原因是他曾在2017年与凯利·乌布雷 (Kelly Oubre) 发生过冲突。他在克利夫兰也因为弄伤凯文·乐福 (Kevin Love) 而不受欢迎。说实话，一位相对名不见经传的角色球员能激起两队球迷如此持久的厌恶，也着实令人印象深刻。
- 朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 的家人来到现场观看他与兄弟贾斯廷 (Justin) 的对决。不幸的是，兄弟俩都没能上演一场精彩表演。朱利安全场6投1中，而贾斯廷在失利一方6投2中。
- 在一些队友似乎缺乏紧迫感的比赛中，凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 永不枯竭的能量就显得格外突出。通过比任何人都更努力的拼搏，约翰逊几乎拿到两双数据。
本场最佳进球
福克斯命中的可不只是空位接球就投的三分。看看这记漂亮的进球。

Spurs take care of business against shorthanded Wizards
The Spurs now have the second-best record in the West and are on a six-game winning streak in the regular season after beating the Wizards 124-113. A great second quarter was enough for San Antonio to create a massive lead that a severely shorthanded Washington team fought hard to overcome, but fell short. Victor Wembanyama came off the bench once again and finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 22 minutes.
It was not a pretty start to the game, as the Wizards, missing key players and on the second game of back-to-back, simply lacked the talent to execute and gain advantages consistently in the half-court, and the Spurs seemed understandably complacent against a bad and wounded opponent. Both the energy and the level of play were low for both teams. Amid the general sloppiness, Tristan Vukcevic emerged as Washington’s best available weapon. The big man hit some outside shots and competed inside, leading the way on offense. Luke Kornet responded with some paint buckets, and Harrison Barnes looked better than he had in a while, but San Antonio looked listless even with Victor Wembanyama on the court. After one, the Silver and Black trailed by two.
Earlier in the season, it would have been concerning to see the Spurs play down to their opponent’s level, but recently, the healthier version of the team has seemingly found its killer instinct. De’Aaron Fox ended the first with a couple of baskets and came out firing to start the second. Stephon Castle joined in, and suddenly getting buckets stopped being a problem for San Antonio. The defensive intensity increased a little, and that was enough to keep a very limited Washington offense in check. Mitch Johnson went big, with Kelly Olynyk getting major minutes next to Victor Wembanyama, giving his squad an edge in size to go with the major one it had in talent. No matter what the Wizards tried on defense, it just didn’t work. Heading into the break, the Spurs led by 20.
It would have been great to see the same intensity in the second half, but it understandably wasn’t there. The Wizards deserve plenty of credit for pushing the pace, playing physical defense, and hitting tough shots, but San Antonio made things easier by looking complacent and managing the lead instead of trying to grow it. While the game didn’t get much prettier in the third, it at least got more fun to watch, as Washington’s guards made threes and played fast while a small unit held its own against one and at times two traditional centers. As mentioned, the Spurs only did what was necessary to keep their opponents at bay, alternating between well-executed plays on both ends and unforced errors or lack of energy. After three, the lead was 12.
The win never really seemed in peril, even though Washington tried its best to complete a second major comeback in as many days, after shocking the Grizzlies on Saturday. The Wizards simply didn’t have enough bodies to sustain the frantic pace on offense and protect the paint on defense, especially with some key players in foul trouble. The feisty underdogs got the lead down to single digits a few times and actually won the frame by one, but never got closer than nine points. Wembanyama also sat the entire quarter, which shows the Spurs were confident they could escape with a victory even while saving their superstars’ legs. It wasn’t a great effort, but it was enough for San Antonio to beat a bottom-dweller missing several rotation players and get to 21-7 for the season.
Game notes:
- With Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III out, the Spurs’ centers had a field day. Luke Kornet finished with a season-high 20 points to go with 12 rebounds. Wemby had 14 and 12 in limited minutes. Even Kelly Olynyk gave the team good minutes on two-center lineups. San Antonio finished with 20 offensive boards, 32 second-chance points, and 56 points in the paint. The size advantage was a major factor in the win, except for the third quarter, in which a small Wizards unit caused some trouble.
- Devin Vassell had a quiet game and Harrison Barnes faded as the minutes passed. Their contributions were enough against the Wizards, but the Spurs will need more from them against better opponents. The two upcoming Thunder matchups should be good tests for the starting unit, assuming Wemby takes Kornet’s place.
- The starting guards had good games. De’Aaron Fox continues to hit threes at an unprecedented level for his standards, connecting on five of his seven attempts. Stephon Castle brute-forced his way into a double-double by getting to the line to make up for a poor shooting night. Their production is always hugely important, but it was crucial on a night in which Dylan Harper looked like a rookie, finishing 0-for-8 from the floor. The depth at guard remains a major strength.
- Olynyk was booed by the Washington crowd because of an incident he had with Kelly Oubre in 2017. He’s also hated in Cleveland for injuring Kevin Love. It’s honestly impressive that a relatively obscure role player can elicit that level of persistent dislike from two fanbases.
- Julian Champagnie’s family was in the crowd to watch his battle with his brother Justin. Unfortunately, neither could put on a show. Julian went 1-for-6 from the floor and Justin 2-for-6 in the loss.
- Keldon Johnson’s non-stop energy stands out in games in which some of his teammates don’t seem to play with urgency. Johnson almost got a double-double by playing harder than anyone.

Fox is not just hitting wide-open catch-and-shoot threes. Look at this beauty.
