通常情况下，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 与扬尼斯·阿德托昆博 (Giannis Antetokounmpo) 的对决都是必看节目，但随着后者以及雄鹿多名主要轮换球员缺阵，这成了马刺对阵陷入困境的对手时又一场有条不紊的大胜。除了文班，其他人的进攻端都打得顺风顺水，他们凭借全队努力以 127-95 击败雄鹿。尽管密尔沃基试图通过第三节的火热手感制造悬念，但甚至没能撼动马刺的领先优势。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 以高效的 22分-10篮板-10助攻的三双表现领衔全队。虽然文班的投篮效率不算高，21投仅7中且没有三分进账，但他依然贡献了 23分、15个篮板和 6次助攻。雄鹿队有六人得分上双，由加里·特伦特 (Gary Trent) 的 18分和迈尔斯·特纳 (Myles Turner) 的 15分领衔。
赛场观察
- 我是唯一一个讨厌周六下午 2 点这个 NBA 比赛时段的人吗？这听起来可能有点奇怪，因为我喜欢在沙发上度过慵懒的周末，而且在大学橄榄球赛季也会看很多周六下午的体育比赛，但对我来说，这和 NBA 比赛并不搭调。（也许我脑子里还记着马刺队在午后场比赛中表现总是不太好，但早场开球今天并没有困扰到他们。）
- 我喜欢精彩的回击球。尽管分差很大，但这仍是一场充满身体对抗的比赛，文班多次倒地。第一节一度出现了雄鹿 5 打 4 的局面，因为迈尔斯·特纳 (Myles Turner) 在抢防守篮板时撞倒了文班，并得以一路狂奔完成扣篮。但马刺很快让观众安静了下来，卡斯尔用一个试探步晃开了特纳，随后稳稳命中定点三分。总的来说，马刺在第一节表现扎实，凭借有条不紊的团队配合、61% 的命中率以及卡斯尔和德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 合力贡献的 19 分，逐渐将领先优势扩大到 37-24。
- 这场比赛文班的手感不佳，但他的传球非常到位，上半场送出三次助攻，包括一个马努式的背后传球助攻卡斯尔扣篮，以及给卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 的空接传球。通常文班是空接的终结者，但最近一个反复出现的进步是他利用自己的牵制力寻找空位队友，而且尽管身材高大，他的空接传球精准得令人惊讶。尽管文班仅得 5 分，马刺在半场结束时仍领先 22 分。
- 文班终于在下半场开局不久拿到了他的第一个盖帽，那是他标志性的在篮板方框上方的高点盖帽。我想裁判对文班这种球还不适应，因为他们吹了干扰球，米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 立即提出挑战并大获成功。
- 雄鹿在第三节开局手感火热，三分球爆发（上半场仅中 4 个，本节中了 8 个），试图让比赛重新产生悬念，并将分差缩小到 13 分。但这再次证明了这支马刺队的进步——他们没有恐慌或崩盘，而是在暂停后迅速打出一波 8-0 的攻势，由瓦塞尔的两个三分和迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 的上篮发起。尽管雄鹿在本节进攻火力全开，但马刺凭借对禁区的统治，单节得分依然比对手多出 1 分。
- 卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 终于在第三节压哨时尝试了本赛季的第一个三分球，球在篮筐上转了一圈后滑出。他的反应是典型的科内特式幽默：他跪在地上，带着微笑并紧握双拳，极度渴望那个无关痛痒的球能投进。
- 马刺在第四节以 11-0 开局，文班大概是想通过提升数据来为自己的 MVP 竞争增加筹码，他坚决冲击篮筐，通常以对手犯规告终。他全程笑着，但考虑到这是一场大胜，看到他依然留在场上并打得如此卖力，感觉还是有些奇怪。他最终在比赛还剩不到六分钟时下场。
- 这场失利意味着雄鹿自 2016 年以来首次无缘季后赛，这也将是道格·里弗斯 (Doc Rivers) 自 2007 年执教凯尔特人队以来的首个败绩赛季。但这也给了马刺一个启示：你不需要在前一年打进季后赛才能在下个赛季夺冠。诚然，这不会是像 2008 年凯尔特人那样组建超级球队，但他们也不必理会那些关于“缺乏经验”的言论。

San Antonio vs. Milwaukee, Final Score: Spurs cruise past physical but short-handed Bucks, 127-95
Usually, these Victor Wemanyama – Giannis Antetokounmpo match-ups have been must-watch TV, but with the latter out along with several more members of the Bucks’ main rotation, it was another methodical Spurs blowout win against a struggling opponent. Things were clicking offensively for everyone not named Wemby in this one, and they used a full team effort to put the Bucks away 127-95, despite Milwaukee trying to make things interesting with a hot third quarter that still didn’t even put a dent in the Spurs’ lead.
Stephon Castle led the way with an efficient 22-10-10 triple-double, and while it wasn’t his most efficient shooting night ever on just 7-21 shooting with no threes, Wemby still had 23 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists. Six Bucks scored in double figures, led by 18 from Gary Trent and 15 from Myles Turner.
Observations
- Am I the only one who hates this 2 PM Saturday time slot for NBA games? This may sound weird coming from someone who likes lazy weekends on the couch and watches plenty of Saturday afternoon sports during college football season, but this just doesn’t jive with NBA ball for me. (Maybe it’s also in the back of my head that Spurs and matinee games never go well together, but the early tip-off didn’t bother them today.)
- I love a good revenge shot. Despite the score, it was a physical game with Wemby ending up on the floor multiple times. At one point in the first quarter, the Bucks had a 5 on 4 advantage because Myles Turner had knocked Wemby over on defensive rebound, and he was able to sprint down the court unimpeded for a dunk. But the Spurs were quickly able to quiet the crowd as Castle jab-stepped Turner to fake him out and send him backwards before burying the spot-up three. Overall it was a solid first quarter for the Spurs, who gradually built the lead up to 37-24 with methodical team work, 61% shooting and 19 combined points from Castle and Devin Vassell.
- The shots weren’t falling for Wemby in this one, but his passing game was on point with three assists in the first half, including a Manu-esque behind-the-back pass to Castle for a dunk and alley-oop pass to Carter Bryant. Usually Wemby is on the the receiving ends of oops, but a recurring development lately has been him using his gravitational pull to find his open teammates, and despite his height, he’s surprisingly accurate as an oop passer. The Spurs still led by 22 at halftime despite just five points from Wemby.
- Wemby finally got his first block early in the second half, which was one of his signature high-point blocks above the backboard square. I guess the refs are still new to seeing this from Wemby, because they called goal tending, which Mitch Johnson immediately and successfully challenged.
- The Bucks threaded to make things interesting with a hot start to the third quarter by exploding from three (they hit 8 in the quarter after only 4 in the first half) and cutting the deficit to 13, but in yet another sign of how far this Spurs team has come, they didn’t panic or fold, but instead came out of timeout and promptly went on an 8-0 run, spearheaded by two Vassell threes and a Dylan Harper lay-up. Despite the offensive onslaught from the Bucks in that quarter, the Spurs still managed to outscore them by one by dominating the paint.
- Luke Kornet finally attempted his first three of the season at the third quarter buzzer, and it circled around the rim and out. His reaction was typical hilarious Kornet, with him kneeling over with a smile a clinched fists, wishing so badly that a shot that didn’t matter would have gone in.
- The Spurs opened the fourth on an 11-0 run with Wemby presumably trying to improve his numbers to make his MVP case, as he drove with determination and usually ended up getting fouled. He was laughing through it all, but otherwise it felt weird that he was still out there and playing so hard despite it being a blowout. He finally exited with under six minutes to go.
- The loss means the Bucks will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2016, and it will be Doc Rivers’ first losing season since 2007 with the Celtics. But that is also a reminder to the Spurs: you don’t have to make the playoffs the year before to win a championship the next season. Granted, it won’t be on the back of a super team built the same way the 2008 Celtics were, but they also don’t have to listen to this “lack of experience” talk.
