继大胜洛杉矶快船队 (Los Angeles Clippers) 之后，马刺队前往丹佛，迎来常规赛最后一个客场。维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 在伤病管理后迎来复出。两队开场手感火热，马刺在首节以 43-36 领先掘金。次节节奏依旧，马刺带着 7 分优势进入半场休息。掘金在第三节不断蚕食马刺的领先优势，分差在末节开始时缩小到 4 分。马刺在第四节末段曾多次处于终结比赛的绝佳位置。
比赛还剩 1 分 39 秒时，马刺领先 6 分。随后，卡梅隆·约翰逊 (Cam Johnson) 命中三分并造成德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 犯规，将分差缩小到 2 分。在德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 完成空接扣篮后，领先优势回到 4 分。然而，在尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokic) 两罚全中后，马刺本有机会在下一次进攻中锁定胜局。福克斯耗尽时间后的三分出手未中，掘金喊出暂停。阿隆·戈登 (Aaron Gordon) 扣篮追平比分，马刺再次获得绝杀机会。文班尝试了一记高难度的后仰跳投，球砸筐而出，比赛进入加时。加时赛双方交替得分，马刺在末段仍有机会扳平。文班抢断贾马尔·穆雷 (Jamal Murray) 后，福克斯发动快攻，他传给切入的瓦塞尔时出现失误，但随后迅速抢回球权。遗憾的是，他错失了一个空位短距离跳投，掘金在抢下篮板后造成犯规。最终，掘金在加时赛以 136-134 险胜。
维克托·文班亚马复出并再次打出 MVP 级别的表现：34 分（罚球 17 中 16）、18 个篮板、7 次助攻、5 次盖帽和 1 次抢断。文班本场投篮命中率略低于 50%，但他通过罚球线上的表现弥补了这一点。除了约基奇投进了一些不讲理的跳投外，文班在防守端统治了禁区。文班在与争冠球队的较量中毫不退缩。在过去的三场比赛中，他场均贡献 38.7 分、17.3 个篮板、4.7 次助攻和 3.7 次盖帽。如果不是谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 和约基奇本赛季同样打出了 MVP 级的表现，文班本会是该奖项的头号热门。期待他带着这场比赛积累的信心开启职业生涯首次季后赛之旅。

斯蒂芬·卡斯尔砍下 20 分（投篮 17 中 9）、9 次助攻和 5 个篮板。卡斯尔开场负责防守穆雷，但在领到两次快速犯规后，米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 让他改防克里斯蒂安·布劳恩 (Christian Braun)。结果是：他命中了职业生涯最高的 5 记三分，出手数也是生涯最高的 11 次。诚然，卡斯尔并不需要对所有的空位三分负责，但无论如何，这并不是他平常的防守水准。尽管如此，卡斯尔几乎拿到了两双，投进了中距离，并赢得了强硬的 2+1 机会。

德文·瓦塞尔贡献 18 分、5 个篮板、2 次助攻和 1 次盖帽。瓦塞尔开场便命中一记激光般精准的三分，并在第四节末段投进关键球。不过，和卡斯尔一样，他有时会漏掉掘金的空位射手。但在球队需要进攻火力时，他依然挺身而出，这正是这支球队在季后赛前夕所需要的。

朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 砍下 18 分（三分 9 中 6）、5 个篮板和 2 次助攻。尚帕尼在三分线外手感火热。掘金决定让约基奇防守他，这反而让尚帕尼获得了空位三分的机会，并让他能过掉约基奇杀向篮筐。遗憾的是，其中几次突破以投篮失手或扣篮被盖告终。尽管如此，尚帕尼本赛季的三分命中数达到 192 记，超越了丹尼·格林 (Danny Green)，创下了马刺队史单赛季三分命中数的新纪录！

总而言之，这场比赛对马刺来说非常及时。无论胜负，这支年轻球队在季后赛开始前遇到争冠球队磨炼是非常重要的。比赛本身充满了季后赛氛围，每一次投篮或失误都会改变最后的结局。在充满敌意的客场环境下，一切都会被放大，有些球员挺身而出，有些则表现挣扎。例如，凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)、卡斯尔和福克斯的三分球合计 16 投 0 中。幸运的是，这种情况不太可能再次发生。随着对手变得越来越强，外线防守必须加强。常规赛还剩一周，马刺希望以强势表现收官，并将在 4 月 12 日与掘金再次交锋。
最后，这里是全场比赛集锦。
马刺将回到主场，于周一晚上 7:00（中部标准时间）在 FDSN-SW 频道对阵费城 76 人队 (Philadelphia 76ers)。

Highlights: Victor Wembanyama drops MVP performance in overtime thriller vs Nuggets
Coming off a blowout win against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Spurs traveled to Denver for their last road game of the regular season. Victor Wembanyama returned from injury management. Both teams started the game blazing from the field, with the Spurs outscoring the Nuggets 43-36 in the first quarter. The pace continued in the second, as the Spurs took a seven-point lead into halftime. Denver chipped away at the Spurs’ lead in the third, and the lead shrank to four to start the fourth. The Spurs were in a great position to close out the game multiple times late in the fourth.
With 1:39 remaining, the Spurs held a six-point lead. Then, Cam Johnson drained a three while being fouled by De’Aaron Fox to cut the lead back to two. After an alley-oop dunk by Devin Vassell, the lead grew back to four. However, after two Nikola Jokic free throws, the Spurs had a chance to clinch the game on their next offensive possession. After draining the clock, Fox missed a three-pointer, and the Nuggets called a timeout. Aaron Gordon tied the game with a dunk, and the Spurs had yet another chance to close out the game with a victory. Wemby put up a tough fallaway shot that grazed the rim, and the game went to OT. After some back-and-forth buckets, the Spurs had a chance to tie the game late. After Wemby stole the ball from Jamal Murray, Fox led the fastbreak. He then threw an errant pass to a cutting Vassell but quickly recovered the ball. Unfortunately, he missed a wide-open short jumper, and the Nuggets were fouled on the rebound. The Nuggets ultimately won 136-134 in OT.
Victor Wembanyama returned and dropped another MVP-type performance: 34 points (16-17 FT), 18 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks, and a steal. Wemby shot just under 50% from the game, but made up for it at the free-throw line. He dominated the paint defensively, aside from Jokic draining impossible jumpers. Wemby battled a contender and did not blink. In his last three games, he is averaging 38.7 points per game, 17.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 3.7 blocks. If it wasn’t for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jokic having MVP seasons in their own right, Wemby would be the favorite. Look for him to use this game as fuel for his confidence heading into his first playoffs.

UNSTOPPABLE! Wemby powers through Murray and skies for the colossal slam!

Stephon Castle dropped 20 points (9-17 FG), nine assists, and five rebounds. Steph started the game guarding Murray, but after picking up two quick fouls, Mitch Johnson had him guard Christian Braun instead. The result: a career-high five threes on a career-high 11 attempts. Granted, Steph wasn’t responsible for all of the open threes, but regardless, it was not his usual defensive game. Nonetheless, Steph nearly garnered a double-double and drained middies, and earned tough and-one opportunities.
AND-ONE JUMPER! Steph absorbs the contact from Gordon and drains the midrange jumper for the and-one!

Devin Vassell dropped 18 points, five rebounds, two assists, and a block. Dev started the game with a laser three and dropped clutch buckets to end the fourth. Although, like Steph, he would sometimes lose track of Denver’s open shooters. He still stepped up when the team needed an offensive spark, which is exactly what this team needs heading towards the postseason.
Sniper! Dev knocks down an early three!

DEVIN. VASSELL.

Julian Champagnie dropped 18 points (6-9 3PT), five rebounds, and two assists. Julian was on fire from three. Denver decided to have Jokic covering him, which in turn allowed Julian to take open threes and allowed him to drive past him to the cup. Unfortunately, some of those drives turned into missed shots and a blocked dunk. Nonetheless, Julian eclipsed Danny Green for the franchise record for most threes in a season for the Spurs with 192!

All in all, this game was much needed for the Spurs. Whether they won or lost, it is important for this young team to encounter a contender right before the playoffs start. The game itself felt like a playoff game, where every single shot or mistake changed the outcome late. Everything is magnified in a hostile environment, and while some players stepped up, some faltered. For example, Keldon Johnson, Castle, and Fox all shot a combined 0-16 from three. Luckily, that is not likely to happen again. The perimeter defense will have to step up as the teams get tougher. With one week remaining in the regular season, the Spurs will look to close the season on a high note, with a rematch against the Nuggets on April 12th.
Finally, here are the full game highlights.
The Spurs return home to face the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday at 7:00 P.M. (CST) on FDSN-SW.
