近一个月来，马刺首次全员健康地出现在霜冻银行中心。
然而他们转头就输给了西部战绩最差的球队。周日，鹈鹕队以104-95爆冷击败马刺，队中三名球员砍下两双数据。
锡安·威廉姆森 (Zion Williamson) 和萨迪克·贝 (Saddiq Bey) 各得24分10篮板，而伊夫·米西 (Yves Missi) 则为鹈鹕队替补贡献10分和14个篮板。
马刺队迎回了他们的得分后卫德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell)，后者因左内收肌拉伤缺席了13场比赛。这仅仅是马刺本赛季第七次以完整阵容出战，也是自12月29日以来的首次。
但他们未能抓住机会，反而打出了赛季最糟糕的进攻表现之一。马刺队无一人得分达到20分。
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 以16分、15个篮板和4次盖帽的数据领衔全队，但他投篮16中6，三分线外10投仅2中。
两天前刚刚在孟菲斯取胜的新奥尔良队，在第三节一度建立起20分的领先优势，并最终顶住了马刺队的疯狂反扑，将两连胜收入囊中。
这是本赛季鹈鹕队在四次交手中首次战胜马刺，他们的赛季战绩提升至12胜36负。马刺的战绩则下滑至31胜15负。
以下是周日这场失利的三点总结，此役过后，马刺将在周三客场挑战更强大的休斯顿队：
- 一场慵懒、草率且注意力不集中的比赛
通常，当一支排名垫底的球队击败一支上游强队时，往往是弱队投出了手感火热的一晚。
但周日的比赛并非如此。
第三节中段，鹈鹕队的整体命中率为46.2%，三分命中率为34.8%，罚球命中率仅为57.1%。
但他们却领先着19分。
除了下半场那波帮助他们重回比赛的25-5的攻击波外，马刺在几乎所有方面都表现平平。他们的篮板球以46-58落后，并让对手抢下19个进攻篮板，导致二次进攻得分以9-26处于绝对劣势。
马刺通常是一支罚球不错的球队，但周日他们32罚丢了13球——包括在比赛末段一次堪称灾难的回合中，文班亚马和约翰逊 (Johnson) 二人相继两罚不中。
马刺曾用一波25-5的攻势在第四节中段取得一分领先，并在比赛还剩5分10秒时凭借朱利安·尚佩尼 (Julian Champagnie) 的一记扣篮以92-87领先。
然而在此之后，他们再无运动战进球，直到比赛仅剩28.6秒时，才由尚佩尼完成补篮，将新奥尔良的9分领先优势缩小到7分。
最终，面对联盟防守倒数前五的球队之一，马刺创下了赛季得分新低。所有这些因素加在一起，构成了球队本赛季堪称最糟糕的一场失利。
- 马刺本可以指望锡安再次休战
自从成为2019年的选秀状元以来，威廉姆森的职业生涯大多伤病缠身。而在周日的比赛前，他正经历着其NBA生涯中最健康的一段时期之一。
这是威廉姆森连续第22次出场，是他职业生涯第二长的连续出场纪录，仅次于他在2021年1月15日至3月3日期间创下的连续24场首发纪录。
如果威廉姆森今晚休战，马刺无疑会受益匪浅。
这位两届全明星球员是鹈鹕队周日取胜的催化剂。他在上半场就得到12分，其中包括一次在文班亚马面前完成的残暴突破暴扣。
最终，威廉姆森连续第二场比赛砍下两双，这也是他自十月以来的第三次。
- 瓦塞尔的回归令人欣慰
在近一个月来的首场比赛中，瓦塞尔并没有迎来核爆级的表现，但他的发挥足够稳健。
这位五年级球员12投5中得到13分，不过三分线外8投仅2中。马刺队曾两次为瓦塞尔布置边线球战术以打破得分荒，而他两次都以命中跳投予以回应。
在经历如此长时间的缺阵后，瓦塞尔将暂时以替补身份出战，至少在他逐步恢复到完整的比赛负荷之前是这样。展望未来，马刺队无疑需要他的投射能力。

3 Takeaways as Spurs pratfall against Pelicans

The Spurs showed up to the Frost Bank Center fully healthy for the first time in nearly a month.
They promptly dropped a game to the worst team in the Western Conference. Three New Orleans players accounted for double-doubles as the Pelicans stunned the Spurs 104-95 on Sunday.
Zion Williamson and Saddiq Bey each had 24 points and 10 rebounds while Yves Missi added 10 points and 14 boards off the bench for the Pelicans.
The Spurs welcomed shooting guard Devin Vassell back to the fold after he missed 13 games with a left adductor strain. That gave the Spurs a full lineup for only the seventh time this season, and the first since Dec. 29.
They struggled to take advantage, turning in one of their worst offensive performances of the season. No Spurs player reached 20 points.
Victor Wembanyama paced the team with 16 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks, but was 6 of 16 from the field and 2 of 10 from 3-point range.
Having won at Memphis two nights earlier, New Orleans raced out to a 20-point lead in the third quarter and survived a furious Spurs comeback to pocket its second straight win.
The Pelicans’ first victory over the Spurs in four tries this season improved their season record to 12-36. The Spurs dropped to 31-15.
Here are three takeaways from Sunday’s defeat, which leads to an even tougher game Wednesday at Houston:
1. Just a sleepy, sloppy, unfocused performance
Often, when a basement-dwelling team takes down an upper echelon team, it can be a matter of the lesser team simply having a hot-shooting night.
That’s not what happened Sunday.
Midway through the third quarter, the Pelicans were shooting 46.2% overall, 34.8% from 3-point range and 57.1% from the foul line.
They were leading by 19.
Aside from the 25-5 run that got them back in the game in the second half, the Spurs were lackluster in almost every area. They were out-rebounded 58-46, and gave up 19 offensive rebounds resulting in a 26-9 deficit in second-chance points.
Normally a decent free-throw team, the Spurs missed 13 of them Sunday in 32 attempts – including two apiece by Wembanyama and Johnson in the span of one brutal possession down the stretch.
The Spurs used a 25-5 run to take a one-point lead midway through the fourth, and went ahead 92-87 on a Julian Champagnie dunk with 5:10 to go.
They didn’t manage another field goal until Champagnie put in a putback basket with 28.6 seconds remaining to cut a nine-point New Orleans lead to seven.
In the end, the Spurs set a season-scoring low against one the NBA’s bottom five defense. It all added up to arguably the team’s worst loss of the season.
2. Spurs could have used another Zion DNP
Williamson’s career has been mostly star-crossed since he became the No. 1 pick in the 2019 draft. He entered Sunday’s game in the midst of one of the most health-filled stretches of his NBA life.
It marked Williamson’s 22nd consecutive appearance, the second-longest games played streak of his career, behind the 24 starts in a row he made from Jan. 15 to March 3 of 2021.
The Spurs would have benefited from Williamson taking the night off.
The two-time All-Star was the Pelicans’ catalyst Sunday. He had 12 of his points in the first half, including a nasty driving dunk past Wembanyama.
Williamson ended with his second straight double-double and his third since October.
3. Vassell return a welcome sight
Vassell didn’t exactly go nuclear in his first game in nearly a month, but he was solid enough.
The fifth-year pro registered 13 points on 5 of 12 shooting, though he was only 2 of 8 from the 3-point stripe. The Spurs called a pair of out-of-bounds plays for Vassell to stop droughts, and he delivered made jumpers on both of them.
Vassell will come off the bench for a while, at least as he ramps up to a full workload after such a long hiatus. The Spurs can certainly use his shot-making going forward.
