俄克拉荷马城电 — 俄克拉荷马雷霆队终于扳回一城。
周二，在Paycom中心，谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大砍下34分，杰伦·威廉姆斯 (Jalen Williams) 添上20分，带领雷霆以119-98大胜马刺。
对于这支卫冕NBA总冠军球队而言，这是他们在本赛季系列赛中首次战胜马刺，此前三次交锋均由马刺队获胜。
上半场比赛，马刺队尚能与雷霆队抗衡，仅带着5分的分差进入中场休息。
但在吉尔杰斯-亚历山大和威廉姆斯的带领下，雷霆队在第三节打出40-24的攻击波，一举掌控了比赛。这两位雷霆队的全明星球员在该节合砍25分，期间俄克拉荷马雷霆队分别打出了11-0和12-0的进攻高潮。
从某种意义上说，雷霆队终于做到了当两队于12月13日在拉斯维加斯举行的NBA杯半决赛中首次相遇时，全世界所期待他们做到的事。
在12月23日于圣安东尼奥的再次交锋中，以及在俄克拉荷马城那场万众瞩目、火药味十足的圣诞大战中，人们也曾抱有同样的期待。
然而，马刺队赢下了所有这三场对决，瞬间拉高了人们对他们本赛季的期望值。
作为西部联盟排名前二的球队之间的较量，雷霆队在周二终于到了打破僵局、战胜这支顽强马刺队的时候了。
此役，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 打破了近期的低迷状态，贡献20分和8次助攻，而维克托·文班亚马则得到17分和7个篮板，但仍难阻失利。
这场胜利是本赛季系列赛中分差最大的一场，其中还包括马刺队在圣诞大战中取得的一场20分大胜。
马刺队在过去六场比赛中输掉了第四场。而雷霆队则迎来了他们的四连胜。
以下是从周二这场失利中得出的三点总结，此役过后，马刺队的战绩下滑至27胜13负：
1. 文班扮演雷霆队的“反派”角色
除了从雷霆出走的凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant) 之外，很少有客队球员像文班亚马一样被雷霆球迷所厌恶。
这是作为俄克拉荷马城新兴对手阵中最佳球员所要面对的必然结果。
文班亚马在马刺队近期一连串胜利后发表的言论——包括那条臭名昭著、措辞隐晦的关于“道德篮球”的评论——似乎进一步激怒了雷霆队的忠实拥趸。
周二，他们抓住一切机会对文班亚马报以嘘声。
这是文班亚马本赛季首次首发出战雷霆队——在前三次交锋中，他均以替补身份出场。这位马刺队的全明星球员在周二开局便状态火热。
开场第一分钟，他就在状元秀热门人选切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 的头上来了一记左手暴扣，为球队首开纪录；几个回合后，他又接到了来自卡斯尔的空中接力传球。
Paycom中心的居民们不喜欢看到这些。他们更乐于见到文班亚马跳投不中、犯规，或者那两次足以登上集锦的干扰球违例。
“我认为，在我认识维克托的这段时间里，他已经证明了自己非常泰然自若，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示。“我认为他拥抱这一切，而不会投入太多精力或反应过度。”
2. 福克斯未能重现圣诞夜的魔力
德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 在球队最近一次交锋中大放异彩，在他的圣诞大战首秀中独得29分。
然而，福克斯周二的比赛数据统计，却无法完全反映他如同送上“一块黑炭”般的糟糕表现。
他全场9投5中得到14分，但大部分得分都是在比赛早已失去悬念之后取得的。
对于福克斯来说，这样的表现并非完全出人意料，过去几周，他和许多马刺球员一样都陷入了挣扎。
在周二之前，自马刺队12月25日战胜雷霆队以来的九场比赛中，福克斯场均得到17.6分。
然而，他的投篮命中率却乏善可陈——投篮命中率为41.8%，三分命中率更是全队最低的15.1%。

福克斯在周二的表现并未能扭转颓势。
在球队寻求让赛季重回正轨之际，马刺队需要他重拾全明星状态。
3. SGA的表现一如既往地惊艳
吉尔杰斯-亚历山大延续了联盟中一项了不起的现役纪录，连续第110场比赛得分超过20分。
这是联盟历史上第二长的连续得分20+纪录，仅次于威尔特·张伯伦 (Wilt Chamberlain) 连续126场的纪录——对于这位雷霆队的全明星球员来说，这个数字似乎突然之间不再那么遥不可及。
吉尔杰斯-亚历山大在第一节就得到13分，让单场得分20+变得易如反掌。他在第三节还剩7分51秒时，在福克斯身上打成了一次2+1，从而达到了这一里程碑。

3 takeaways as Thunder end mini-skid against Spurs, Wembanyama

OKLAHOMA CITY — Score one for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 34 points and Jalen Williams added 20 as the Thunder humbled the Spurs 119-98 on Tuesday at the Paycom Center.
For the defending NBA champions, it marked the first victory in the series this season after the Spurs won the first three meetings.
The Spurs hung with the Thunder for a half, trailing by five heading into intermission.
Led by Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams, OKC outscored the Spurs 40-24 in the third quarter to take control. The two Thunder All-Stars combined for 25 points in the frame, which included separate runs of 11-0 and 12-0 from Oklahoma City.
In a way, the Thunder accomplished what most of the world expected when the teams first met Dec. 13 at the NBA Cup semifinals in Las Vegas.
And again in a Dec. 23 meeting in San Antonio. And again in an overheated, overhyped Christmas Day showdown in OKC.
The Spurs won all three of those matchups, instantly raising the bar of expectations for their season.
In a battle between the top two teams in the Western Conference standings, it was high time Tuesday for OKC to break through against the plucky Spurs.
Stephon Castle broke a recent slump with 20 points and eight assists, while Victor Wembanyama added 17 points and seven rebounds in defeat.
The victory was the most lopsided in a season series that included a 20-point win for the Spurs on Christmas Day.
The Spurs lost for the fourth time in six games. The Thunder won their fourth straight.
Here are three takeaways from Tuesday’s defeat, which dropped the Spurs to 27-13:
1. Wemby plays the part of OKC’s villain
Few visiting players outside of OKC expatriate Kevin Durant are as reviled by Thunder fans as Wembanyama.
It comes with the territory of being the best player on one of Oklahoma City’s burgeoning rivals.
Wembanyama’s comments after the Spurs’ recent run of victories — including the infamous, cryptic one about “ethical basketball” — seem to have enraged the OKC faithful further.
They booed Wembanyama at every opportunity Tuesday.
Making his first start of the season against the Thunder — Wembanyama came off the bench in the first three meetings — the Spurs All-Star got off to a hot start Tuesday.
He got on the board with a lefty dunk over not-quite-rival Chet Holmgren in the opening minute, and caught an alley-oop lob from Castle a few possessions later.
The denizens of the Paycom Center did not like that. They liked better the moments when Wembanyama missed a jumper, or committed a foul or the two occasions in which he was called for highlight-reel goaltending violations.
“I think as long as I’ve been around Victor, he’s proven he’s pretty comfortable in his own skin,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “I think he embraces all of it, without putting too much energy (into it) or overdoing it.”
2. Fox can’t recreate Christmas magic
De’Aaron Fox lit up Oklahoma City in the team’s most recent meeting, scoring 29 points in his Christmas Day debut.
Fox’s box score did not quite reflect the lump of coal he delivered Tuesday.
He finished with 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting, but did much of his damage after the game was well out of reach.
It wasn’t necessarily an out-of-place performance for Fox, who has been struggling like a lot of Spurs players for the past few weeks.
In the nine games since the Spurs’ Dec. 25 victory over the Thunder heading into Tuesday, Fox has averaged 17.6 points.
His shooting percentages, however, have been lackluster — 41.8 from the field and a team-worst 15.1 from 3-point range in that span.

Fox didn’t do much to change the music Tuesday.
The Spurs need him to regain his All-Star form as they look to regain traction on their season.
3. SGA was predictably spectacular
Gilgeous-Alexander kept up one of the league’s more remarkable active streaks, eclipsing 20 points in his 110th consecutive game.
That is the second-longest streak in league history behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 126 in a row — a number that suddenly doesn’t seem so far out of reach for the OKC All-Star.
Gilgeous-Alexander made another 20-point outing a mere formality by scoring 13 points in the first quarter. He reached that mark with 7:51 to play in the third quarter after finishing a bucket-and-foul combination on Fox.
