圣安东尼奥马刺队在对阵丹佛掘金队的比赛中遭遇了近十场比赛的首场失利。面对这支前冠军球队，马刺在比赛的大部分时间里都表现得非常强硬，直到末段出现致命失误，最终以 134-136 惜败。
联盟两位顶级球星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 与尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokic) 之间的较量，让这场比赛成为了必看之战。在拥有两场 NCAA “最终四强”赛的日子里，反而是马刺和掘金联手奉献了最精彩的篮球盛宴。文班亚马和约基奇都打出了怪物级的数据，整场比赛针锋相对。约基奇迎着文班亚马投进了不少高难度进球，砍下 40 分、8 个篮板和 13 次助攻。文班亚马则顶着包夹和身体对抗为马刺争取优势，尽管最终未能带着胜利离开丹佛。
这是两队未来可能交手的预演。掘金要么锁定第三种子，要么击败俄克拉荷马城雷霆队，才会在季后赛中对阵马刺。目前掘金打入西决的赔率为 +210，而马刺在 FanDuel 上的赔率为 -170。
在此快速提醒，这些评分基于每位球员的赛场表现，不仅限于统计数据。“B”级代表该球员的平均水平。如果球员上场时间少于 5 分钟或仅在垃圾时间出场，其评分将标记为不完整。
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)
40 分钟，34 分，18 篮板，7 助攻，5 盖帽，1 抢断，1 失误，3 犯规，17 投 8 中，三分 6 投 2 中，正负值 +4
文班亚马打出了华丽的数据，且在常规时间结束前差一点就投进了绝杀球。如果没有文班，马刺根本无法坚持到最后。然而，他在比赛末段的一些失误拖了球队后腿。他在常规时间结束前与朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 出现换防沟通失误，导致阿龙·戈登 (Aaron Gordon) 获得大空位扣篮机会。在加时赛中，面对约基奇那记致命的抛投时，他也犯了类似的错误。
进攻端，很难将失利归咎于文班亚马。如果马刺在关键时刻能让他获得比牛角位单打后仰跳投更好的机会，球队的进攻表现可能会更好。他在关键时刻每次触球都会面临两到三人的包夹。但比赛末段关键的防守失误让球队付出了胜利的代价。从长远来看，这是一个很好的教训，而且他整体表现非常出色，配得上 A 级的评价。
评分： A-
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)
40 分钟，20 分，5 篮板，9 助攻，4 失误，6 犯规，17 投 9 中，三分 4 投 0 中，正负值 -10
卡斯尔在比赛大部分时间里进攻端表现活跃。如果他的定点三分能像全明星赛后那样投进一个，结果可能就会不同。他在防守端极其积极，在三分线外紧贴贾马尔·穆雷 (Jamal Murray)。他仍在与失误作斗争，而且当跳投不准时，对手在防守端并不尊重他的外线威胁。掘金在周六的关键时刻主动放空了他。
如果能看到卡斯尔在比赛末段更多地参与进攻就更好了。考虑到他的失误问题，在关键时刻能信任他的挡拆执行吗？对手会不会在战术中直接收缩防守，挑衅他投篮？也许吧。但他整个赛季都是球队最好的进攻球员之一，球队应该在比赛末段为他布置一些战术。
评分： B
达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)
40 分钟，14 分，4 篮板，4 助攻，1 抢断，2 失误，4 犯规，19 投 7 中，三分 4 投 1 中，正负值 +7
哎呀，好吧。福克斯在周六的表现并不理想，尤其是在比赛末段。大家都会指出的两个瞬间是：比赛末段面对戈登投出的三不沾，以及那个传飞了的空接配合后紧接着错失的 5 英尺近射。戈登是一名强悍的防守者，很难在他面前获得好的出手机会，这一点我可以理解。那个空接传球看起来确实传晚了一点，但瓦塞尔也应承担部分责任（稍后详述）。紧接着错失那个近在咫尺的投篮确实很打击士气。
福克斯在队中的角色是第二得分点和关键时刻的定海神针。他本赛季大部分时间都做到了这一点，但在对阵掘金时却没有。他投不进球，防守端缺乏影响力，甚至连控球都失常了。如果马刺想要在季后赛走得更远，他们需要福克斯表现得更好。
评分： C-
迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)
*20 分钟，12 分，3 篮板，3 助攻，2 失误，3 犯规，7 投 5 中，三分 3 投 2 中，正负值 -1
哈珀替补出场表现稳健。他为马刺板凳席提供了一定的得分火力，虽然没有他往常贡献的那么多。他在比赛结束前的那记超远三分让他的数据看起来更好看了一些。他也犯了一些新秀错误，比如在比赛后期面对约基奇时选择了投三分，而不是持球突破。他在外线防守身体对抗时依然容易犯规。虽然还有一些细节需要改进，但对于一名处于高压环境下的新秀来说，这是一场中规中矩的比赛。
评分： B
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie)
33 分钟，18 分，5 篮板，2 助攻，1 犯规，12 投 6 中，三分 9 投 6 中，正负值 +2
马刺在对阵掘金时投篮手感火热，尚帕尼是其中的重要功臣。他在获得空位时投进了关键的三分，包括加时赛中反超比分的那一球。当然，他也和文班亚马一起卷入了那次导致被追平比分的扣篮防守失误。归根结底，尚帕尼的工作就是投进空位球，他在周六做到了。季后赛来临时，马刺需要他更多这样的表现。
评分： B+
卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet)
13 分钟，0 分，5 篮板，1 助攻，1 抢断，1 犯规，1 投 0 中，正负值 -6
科内特这场比赛表现相当沉寂。马刺需要文班亚马长时间在场来对位约基奇，这意味着科内特大部分时间都在板凳上度过。当他上场时，表现比较挣扎。他在内线被对手得分，进攻端也没能产生影响力。鉴于约基奇状态如此神勇，也许一套“法式香草 (French Vanilla)”阵容（双塔）能给马刺提供两个大个子去消耗他。或许米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 是在为季后赛保留这套阵容。
评分： C
德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell)
39 分钟，18 分，5 篮板，2 助攻，1 盖帽，14 投 6 中，三分 8 投 3 中，正负值 -10
瓦塞尔对阵掘金时投进了一些球，但也卷入了全场最艰难的一个回合。如果他能接住并完成福克斯的那个空接，即便传球并不完美，马刺大概率能赢下比赛。总的来说，他在这样一场高强度的比赛中完成了对一名角色球员的所有要求，但那一次失误确实太扎眼了。
评分： B
哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)
17 分钟，8 分，1 篮板，1 助攻，1 抢断，1 失误，4 投 3 中，三分 3 投 2 中，正负值 +2
巴恩斯也在马刺需要的时候投进了球。但他的防守表现令人沮丧。当巴恩斯在场时，掘金疯狂出手底角三分。感觉他整场比赛在到底角补防时都慢了半拍。
评分： B
凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)
17 分钟，10 分，2 篮板，2 犯规，10 投 3 中，三分 6 投 0 中，正负值 -3
约翰逊在周六被赋予了一项艰巨的任务。当文班亚马作为防守游走者时，他是约基奇的主要防守人。约基奇不出所料地打爆了这个对位。进攻端，马刺真的很需要凯尔登能投进一两个三分，但他错失了一些大空位机会。总的来说，这是约翰逊表现低迷的一场比赛。
评分： C
卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant)
5 分钟，0 分，2 篮板，1 抢断，1 犯规，正负值 +5
布莱恩特在有限的时间里表现尚可。他完成了合理的防守，进攻端也没有出现重大失误。不过，在区区五分钟内很难产生太大的影响力。
评分： B

Spurs vs. Nuggets player grades: Jokic and Wembanyama duel in Spurs loss
The San Antonio Spurs were handed their first loss in ten games by the Denver Nuggets. San Antonio looked stout against the former champions for most of the game, until costly mistakes down the stretch led to a 136-134 loss.
The clash between two of the league’s best players, Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic, made this a must-watch game. On a day with two Final Four games, it was the Spurs and Nuggets who put on the best basketball display. Both Wembanyama and Jokic put up monster stat lines, going at each other all game long. Jokic got tough shots to go over Wembanyama on his way to 40 points, 8 rebounds, and 13 assists. Wembanyama fought through double-teams and physicality to give the Spurs an edge, despite ultimately failing to leave Denver with the win.
It was a preview of what could be ahead for both teams. Denver will either need to secure the third seed or defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder to face San Antonio in the playoffs. The Nuggets are +210 to make the Western Conference Finals, and the Spurs are -170 on FanDuel.
As a quick reminder, these grades are based on each player’s on-court performance, going beyond just the stat sheet. A “B” grade represents the average performance for an individual. If a player logs fewer than 5 minutes or plays only in garbage time, their grade will be incomplete.
Victor Wembanyama
40 minutes, 34 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 3 fouls, 8-for-17 shooting, 2-for-6 threes +4
Wembanyama put up big stats and was a few inches away from hitting a game-winner at the end of regulation. If it weren’t for Wemby, the Spurs would not have been in the game. However, he made some mistakes late in the game that held the team back. He miscommunicated a switch with Julian Champagnie at the end of regulation, leading to a wide-open Aaron Gordon dunk. He made a similar error on the dagger floater from Jokic in overtime.
Offensively, it’s hard to blame much of the loss on Wembanyama. San Antonio’s late-game offense would likely be better if he got better looks than fadeaways off elbow isolation plays. He’s facing two to three defenders every time he touches the ball in the clutch. But critical defensive errors late in the game cost the team the victory. It’s a good lesson for him to learn in the long run, and he had a really good game overall. He’s deserving of an A grade.
Grade: A-
Stephon Castle
40 minutes, 20 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 turnovers, 6 fouls, 9-for-17 shooting, 0-for-4 threes, -10
Castle thrived offensively for most of the game. If one of his spot-up three-pointers falls, as they have been since the All-Star break, the result may have been different. He was incredibly active defensively, chasing Jamaal Murray around on the perimeter. He’s still struggling with turnovers, and when the jumper isn’t falling, teams don’t respect him from deep. The Nuggets actively played off him in clutch time on Saturday.
It would be nice to see Castle more involved in the offense late in the game. Can you trust him in the pick-and-roll late, given his turnover issues? Will teams just sag off him in actions, daring him to shoot? Maybe. But he’s been one of the team’s best offensive players all season. He should have some sets run for him late in games.
Grade: B
De’Aaron Fox
40 minutes, 14 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers, 4 fouls, 7-for-19 shooting, 1-for-4 threes, +7
Oof. Okay, here we go. Fox was not very good on Saturday, particularly at the end of the game. The two moments everyone will point to are the airball against Gordon late in the game and the botched lob into the missed five-footer. Gordon is a stout defender, and it’s tough to get a good look against him. I’m willing to give him a pass there. The lob looked to be a bit late, but Vassell deserves some blame there (more on that later). Missing the bunny immediately after is a tough break.
Fox’s role on the team is to be a secondary scorer and a steadying hand in the clutch. He has done that for most of the season. He did not do that against Denver. He didn’t hit shots, wasn’t effective defensively, and was even off handling the ball. They need Fox to be better in the playoffs if they want to make a deep run.
**Grade:C–
Dylan Harper
20 minutes, 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 turnovers, 3 fouls, 5-for-7 shooting, 2-for-3 threes, -1
Harper was solid off the bench. He gave the Spurs a bit of a scoring punch off the bench, but not as much as he typically does. His heave three at the end of the game pumps his stats a bit. He made rookie mistakes, too, like shooting a three over Jokic rather than driving on him later in the game. He continues to struggle with guarding physically on the perimeter without fouling. There are some things to clean up here, but this was a pretty standard game for a rookie in a high-leverage situation.
Grade: B
Julian Champagnie
33 minutes, 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 foul, 6-for-12 shooting, 6-for-9 threes, +2
The Spurs hit shots against Denver. Champagnie was a major part of that. He hit big-time threes when left open, including one to take the lead in overtime. He, of course, was a part of the defensive mistake alongside Wembanyama that led to the game-tying dunk. Ultimately, Champagnie’s job is to hit open shots, and he did that on Saturday. San Antonio will need more of that come playoff time.
**Grade:B+
Luke Kornet
13 minutes, 0 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 foul, 0-for-1 shooting,-6
It was a fairly quiet game for Kornet. The Spurs needed Wembanyama in the game for long stretches to match up with Jokic. That meant a lot of Kornet on the bench. When he was in the game, he struggled. He got scored on inside and wasn’t an offensive difference maker. With Jokic playing so well, maybe a French Vanilla lineup would have given the Spurs two big bodies to throw at him. Perhaps Mitch Johnson is saving that look for the playoffs.
**Grade:C
Devin Vassell
39 minutes, 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 6-for-14 shooting, 3-for-8 threes, -10
Vassell hit shots against Denver, but was also involved in one of the toughest plays of the game. If he catches and finishes the lob from Fox, even if it wasn’t a perfect pass, the Spurs probably win the game. All things considered, he did about all you can ask from a role player in a high-stakes game, but that one mistake stands out.
**Grade:B
Harrison Barnes
17 minutes, 8 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 3-for-4 shooting, 2-for-3 threes, +2
Barnes also hit shots when the Spurs needed him to. He was frustrating to watch defensively. The Nuggets spammed corner threes when Barnes was in the game. It felt like he was slow to close out to the corner all game long.
Grade: B
Keldon Johnson
17 minutes, 10 points, 2 rebounds, 2 fouls, 3-for-10 shooting, 0-for-6 threes, -3
Johnson was given a tough task on Saturday. He was the primary Jokic defender when Wembanyama was used as a defensive roamer. Jokic abused that matchup, as he should. Offensively, the Spurs really could have used a three or two from KJ. He missed some wide-open looks against Denver. Overall, it was an off game for Johnson.
**Grade:C
Carter Bryant
5 minutes, 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 foul, +5
Bryant played fairly well in his limited minutes. He played sound defense and didn’t make any major errors offensively. It’s hard to make much of an impact in five minutes, though.
**Grade:B
**Monday’s Inactives:**Harrison Ingram, David Jones-Garcia, Emanuel Miller
