圣安东尼奥马刺队 (San Antonio Spurs) 在过去的 17 场比赛中赢下了 16 场，目前距离西部排名第一的俄克拉荷马城雷霆队 (Oklahoma City Thunder) 仅差 2.5 个胜场。在常规赛仅剩 17 场的情况下，马刺队的剩余赛程难度在全联盟排名倒数第六（较为轻松），而雷霆队的剩余赛程难度则高居全联盟第四。
最初被认为是为争夺季后赛席位积蓄力量的一个赛季，现在看来，很有可能以马刺队夺得全联盟最佳战绩和西部一号种子而告终。圣安东尼奥凭借遍布全场的投射火力和另一端的顶级防守做到了这一点。在过去的 17 场比赛中，马刺队的净效率值高达 +13.1，其中进攻效率为 122.1，防守效率为 108.9。
在这段征程中，马刺队的角色球员们贡献了伟大的表现。凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 在替补席上表现出色，在攻防两端都发挥了重要影响；迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 正逐渐展现出作为年轻后卫的实力；朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 作为 3D 侧翼表现亮眼。很快，球队将迎来哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 的回归，这能为他们的明星大个子维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 提供更多的投射空间。
但是，角色球员的星级表现足以追上雷霆队吗？雷霆队在过去的 10 场比赛中取得了 9 胜 1 负的战绩，目前正处于六连胜中。谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 正打出 MVP 级别的表现，而整支球队也没有任何减速的迹象。由于赛程中已没有与雷霆队的直接对话，马刺队将需要其他球队的“助攻”来帮助他们在排名上实现反超。
马刺队能拿到一号种子吗？进入四月，哪位角色球员需要保持火热手感？请在下方的投票中表达你的看法，我们将在下周公布反馈结果。

San Antonio’s race for the one seed is on
The San Antonio Spurs have won 16 of their last 17 games, and are 2.5 games back from the Oklahoma City Thunder for first place in the Western Conference standings. With just 17 games remaining, the Spurs have the sixth-easiest schedule through the end of the season. The Thunder have the fourth-hardest remaining schedule.
What was once thought to be a season defined by ramping up for playoff contention could realistically end with the Spurs holding the league’s best record and number-one seed in the West. San Antonio has done it with shot-making all over the floor and elite defense on the other end. The Spurs have a +13.1 net rating, with a 122.1 offensive rating and 108.9 defensive rating in the last 17 games.
Over this stretch, they’ve gotten great performances from their role players. Keldon Johnson has had a major impact off the bench on both ends, Dylan Harper is coming into his own as a young guard, and Julian Champagnie has shone as a 3&D wing. Soon, the team will welcome Harrison Barnes back to the lineup and have even more shooting to surround their star big man, Victor Wembanyama.
But is the support cast’s stellar play enough to catch OKC? The Thunder are 9-1 in their last 10 games, winning six straight games. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing MVP-level basketball while the team shows no signs of slowing down. Without any matchups with the Thunder on the schedule, San Antonio will rely on other teams to help them move up in the standings.
Will the Spurs get the number one seed? Which role player needs to stay hot as we head into April? Vote in the poll below and we’ll be back with responses next week.
