尽管圣安东尼奥在第四节大部分时间里都在奋力反击，但他们最终还是倒在了新年以来最糟糕的投篮表现之一。鹈鹕队也展现出了更胜一筹的韧性和执行力，他们一度领先多达20分，并最终守住了这场客场胜利。尽管开场便获得了17次罚球机会，但圣安东尼奥仅命中其中10球，全场罚球32投19中，其中还包括了收官阶段的连续4罚不中。新奥尔良队则创造了无数的二次进攻机会，他们抢到了更多的均势球并保护了进攻篮板，在此过程中用他们的身体对抗和防守压力彻底压制了马刺。
圣安东尼奥的维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)（16分、16个篮板、4次盖帽）在鹈鹕队对手的强悍力量面前举步维艰，而替补出场的德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell)（13分）和凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)（15分）则贡献了充满活力的表现。
鹈鹕队方面，蔡恩·威廉森 (Zion Williamson)（24分、10个篮板、4次助攻）和萨迪克·贝 (Saddiq Bey)（24分、10个篮板、4次助攻）打出了完全相同的数据，领衔全队。特雷·墨菲三世 (Trey Murphy III)（12分、7次助攻）和伊夫·米西 (Yves Missi)（10分、14个篮板、2次盖帽）在关键时刻挺身而出，帮助新奥尔良队建立并牢牢掌控了比赛。
首节比赛，双方打得磕磕绊绊，新奥尔良的贝几乎一人包办了全队一半的得分。而除了福克斯的几记投篮命中外，实力更被看好的马刺队始终无法真正拉开比分。后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 和瓦塞尔连续命中转换进攻投篮，将分差缩小到3分。备受瞩目的交易目标墨菲三世和新秀菲尔斯为新奥尔良队提供了大部分火力。尽管在第一节大部分时间里处于下风，圣安东尼奥仍以28-25领先。
进入第二节，圣安东尼奥的投篮依旧频频偏出篮筐。鹈鹕队抓住了马刺进攻哑火的机会，凭借何塞·阿尔瓦拉多 (Jose Alvarado) 的两记三分球和威廉森的一记势大力沉的扣篮迅速反超。尽管马刺一度短暂夺回领先优势，但他们在进攻端始终找不到任何节奏。凭借威廉森的力量和菲尔斯的果敢，新奥尔良队在这场混乱的比赛中占据了主导权。威廉森的一记打三分帮助鹈鹕队在半场结束时领先9分。
受到上半场表现的鼓舞，威廉森在下半场继续对位主防他的文班亚马，他用两次上篮持续冲击着马刺的防线。鹈鹕队打出一波16-6的攻击波，迅速将领先优势扩大到19分，圣安东尼奥不得不在该节剩余的大部分时间里派上替补阵容。然而，马刺队始终无法命中投篮，将分差缩小到个位数。
赛后观察
- 鹈鹕队的转播听起来，就好像马刺在场上派了八名球员来防守他们一样。
- 31胜14负的战绩让我想起了2002-2003赛季那个“超越时代”的征程。
- 我还没看投篮分布图，但在某些特定位置上，福克斯的三分球看起来更稳了（左翼是其中之一）。
- 今晚的评价非此即彼：“ *德文·瓦塞尔！！！ *”或是“ *德文·瓦塞尔！？！@#￥！@#% *”。
- 文班亚马有太多“将就着投”的三分球出手了。
- 这个版本的贝是从什么时候冒出来的？
- 第三节末段，哈珀一次高难度上篮未能命中，但他之后有将近15秒的时间都没有回防到位。这绝对不行。
- 本场比赛最佳稳健配合#1 ：第一节末，在鹈鹕队大概第四次快攻失误之后，球经过福克斯、瓦塞尔、再到福克斯的传导，最后由科内特在禁区深处完成一记反手上篮。
- 本场比赛关键时刻回合#2：米西在篮下被文班亚马封盖，随后出现两运违例，球权回到马刺手中。
比赛进程
在圣安东尼奥队打出坚实的8-2开局的过程中，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 干净利落地抢断了奎因，并完成了一记转换扣篮。新奥尔良队的前六分都由贝得到。福克斯的第二记三分球帮助马刺以11-6领先。文班亚马聪明地在一次扣篮打三分的过程中造成了奎因的第二次犯规。贝的三分球让他迅速得到了9分。圣安东尼奥的替补后卫们联手打出了一波6-0的攻势。随后双方交替得分，新奥尔良的菲尔斯和圣安东尼奥的哈珀这两位新秀都用他们的突破和终结技巧给人留下了深刻印象。首节战罢，马刺以28-25领先。
第二节开场，新奥尔良队打出一波12-5的攻势，期间唯一能阻止他们的只有两次进攻犯规——包括奎因的第三次犯规。巴恩斯的底角三分，加上尚帕尼的罚球（考虑到此前全队罚球线前11投仅5中，这并不容易），帮助圣安东尼奥重新取得领先。鹈鹕队笨拙的防守（以及卡尔洛·马特科维奇 (Karlo Matkovic) 的4次犯规）让主队在半节过后就进入了犯规罚球状态，但马刺队在15英尺外的罚球线上始终找不到手感。威廉森通过运球突破攻击文班亚马，创造了数次机会，而墨菲的三分球则帮助鹈鹕队取得了8分的领先。新奥尔良队在他们的半场进攻中手感火热，最终以56-47领先结束上半场。
在鹈鹕队打出16-6的开场攻势后，米奇·约翰逊教练 (Coach Mitch Johnson) 进行了一次曲棍球式换人，卡特·布莱恩特上场后不久便命中两记三分。瓦塞尔命中一记空位三分，并造成了一次鹈鹕队的失误。尽管有几次机会可以进一步缩小分差，但随着瓦塞尔的一记压哨投篮在涮筐而出后，圣安东尼奥仍然带着14分的劣势进入第四节。

San Antonio vs. New Orleans, Final Score: Spurs stunned by late Pelicans run, 95-104
Despite a comeback attempt that spanned much of the fourth quarter, San Antonio was ultimately waylaid by one of its worst shooting efforts of the new year. The Pelicans also showcased superior mettle and execution to go ahead by as much as 20 before holding on for the road win. Despite getting 17 early free throws, San Antonio converted only 10 of them, and finished 19-for-32, including four straight bricks in the closing moments. New Orleans created countless second chances, getting to more 50/50 balls and securing offensive rebounds, and overpowered the Spurs with their physicality and defensive pressure in the process.
San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama (16 points, 16 rebounds, and 4 blocks) struggled with the brute force of his Pelicans’ counterparts, while receiving spirited efforts off the bench from Devin Vassell (13 points) and Keldon Johnson 15 points).
The Pelicans were led by identical statlines from Zion Williamson (24 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists) and Saddiq Bey (24 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists)). Trey Murphy III (12 points and 7 assists) and Yves Missi (10 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 blocks) when it mattered to help New Orleans get and keep a strangehold on the game.
The teams struggled through a roughshod first quarter, where New Orlean’s Bey put up almost half of his team’s points, and outside of Fox’s couple of buckets, the heavily-favored Spurs could not create any real separation. Guards Dylan Harper and Vassell hit back-to-back transition baskets to make it a 3-point game. Highly-coveted trade target Murphy III and rookie Fears supplied the bulk of the offense for New Orleans. Despite getting outplayed for much of the first, San Antonio still led 28-25.
San Antonio continued to see a lot of shots meekly fall off the trip to start the second. The Pelicans capitalized on the offensive ineptitude with two Jose Alvarado triples and a monstrous Williamson dunk. The Spurs struggled to find any flow offensively despite re-taking the lead for a few moments, and behind Williamson’s power and Fears’ daring, New Orleans took command of the sloppy game. Williamson’s and-1 put the Pelicans ahead by nine at the break.
Emboldened by that first half, Williamson continued to wreak havoc on Wembanyama as the primary defender and the Spurs with two lay-ups. The Pelican’s 16-6 run put them up 19 rather quickly and San Antonio went to their bench for most of the remaining minutes in the frame. The Spurs could not knock down shots to make it a single-digit game.
Observations
- The Pelicans broadcast made it seem like there were eight Spurs out there against them.
- The 31-14 record makes me think of the 2002-2003 ‘ahead of their time’ campaign.
- I haven’t looked at the shot chart, but there’s particular spots where Fox’s three-ball looks more solid (left wing being one)
- It’s either going to be “Devin Vassell!!!“ or “DEVIN VASSELL!?!!!@#$!@#%” tonight
- Too many “settling-for-this-three 3’s” for Wembanyama.
- When did this version of Bey materialize?
- Late in the third quarter, Harper couldn’t convert a contested layup, but then trailed the play for nearly 15 seconds. Not okay.
- Slow and Steady Sequence of the Game #1: Late in the first period and after what seemed like the fourth botched Pelicans fast break, it went Fox, Vassell, Fox, then Kornet for a reverse deep in the paint.
- Crunch Time Sequence of the Game #2: Missi was turned away at the rim by Wembanyama and then double-dribbled to turn the ball back to the Spurs.
Game Rundown
As part of a solid 8-2 San Antonio start, Castle picked Queen clean and got himself a transition dunk. Bey had New Orleans’ first six. Fox’s second three put the Spurs up 11-6. Wembanyama smartly drew a second foul on Queen on an dunk-and-1. Bey’s three brought him to a quick nine points. San Antonio’s reserve guards cobbled together a 6-0 run. The teams traded baskets with New Orleans’ (Fears) and San Antonio’s (Harper) rookies impressing with their driving and finishing skills. The Spurs left the first up 28-25.
During an opening 12-5 run to start the second, the only thing stopping New Orleans was two offensive fouls – including Queen’s third. Barnes hit a corner three along with Champagnie’s freebies (not an easy thing given the putrid 5-for-11 from the line prior ro this point) put San Antonio back up. The Pelicans’ clumsy defense (and 4 fouls on Karlo Matkovic) put the hosts in the foul bonus halfway through, but the Spurs could not find their touch from 15 feet away. Williamson attacked Wembanyama on the dribble-drive to create a handful of opportunities, and Murphy’s three put the Pelicans up eight. New Orleans caught fire in their halfcourt offense to get it to 56-47.
After the Pelicans’ 16-6 opening salvo, Coach Mitch Johnson did a hockey substitution, and Carter Bryant hit two threes shortly after. Vassell hit an open three and forced a Pelicans turnover. Despite there being several opportunities to shave the deficit further, San Antonio still trailed 14 going to the fourth with a buzzer-beating Vassell attempt trickling off the rim after going halfway down.

I think I wrote this last game I did, but San Antonio heads east on I-10 for a chance at regular season redemption against Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets Wednesday night at 8:30 PM CDT on ESPN.
