圣安东尼奥马刺队自2019年以来首次杀入季后赛，我们现在已经知道他们首轮的对手将是波特兰开拓者队，第一场比赛定于中部时间周日晚上8点开打。距离比赛还有几天时间，在此期间，让我们共同回顾球队历史上最出色的常规赛赛季之一。
昨天，我们回顾了赛季的第一部分，其中包括了5胜0负的开局，以及在维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 因小腿拉伤连续缺阵12场的情况下，马刺依然保持强势势头。在文班亚马缺阵期间，凭借着达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 的领导力以及多年来通过选秀和自由市场积累的卓越阵容深度，马刺依然表现出色。这一切最终转化为在客场击败湖人，赢得了前往拉斯维加斯参加NBA杯半决赛的机会，这也是我们今天要接档的内容。
第二部分：12月13日 – 12月31日 (7胜2负*)
* 不计入NBA杯决赛负于尼克斯的场次。
从技术上讲，这段时间只有九场比赛（如果算上那场杯赛决赛则是10场，幸运的是，那场比赛算作了文班的第65场比赛，使他获得了评奖资格，但在其他统计中不计入），所以将这视为一个完整的赛季阶段可能有些牵强，但这段经历实在太令人难忘，不容错过！尽管我在第一部分中已经计算了12月初的表现（因为我们以文班的回归作为本部分的起点），但我们还是要指出，12月8日在新奥尔良的胜利开启了他们自2019年以来的首个8连胜，整个12月他们取得了11胜3负的战绩（同样不计入杯赛决赛）。此外，马刺在12月份有8名不同的球员曾领跑全队得分，这简直令人匪夷所思，也再次提醒了人们他们那恐怖的阵容深度（向 TontonOngBak 致敬）。
连胜的第三场比赛正是我们本篇的起点。在拉斯维加斯，文班从长时间的缺阵中回归，尽管是以替补身份出战且有出场时间限制，但时机恰到好处，帮助球队在对阵雷霆的比赛中拿下了三场令人意外的胜利中的第一场。这场杯赛半决赛在经过跌宕起伏的第四节后尘埃落定，正式让这支马刺队进入了全国观众的视野。
虽然他们随后在杯赛决赛中输给了纽约尼克斯队（尼克斯对他们来说是一个意外顽强的对手），但这并不计入正式战绩，不过凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 还是拿到了足够丰厚的奖金去买他的羊驼了！从那之后，他们继续连胜势头，在对阵奇才和老鹰的比赛中轻松取胜，随后与雷霆展开了一场主客场系列赛。马刺先是在主场大胜对手，接着在圣诞大战中于俄克拉荷马城取得了一场出人意料的轻松胜利。正如谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 后来所说，你不会在12天内三次输给同一个对手，除非对方确实比你更强。
在经历了这些兴奋时刻后，他们回到主场却意外输给了爵士和犹他（原文如此），随后以高昂的姿态结束了这一年。在主场对阵尼克斯的比赛中，似乎正在形成一种趋势：总会有一个随机的角色球员挺身而出，打出史诗级的表现带领马刺夺取胜利。去年，是桑德罗·马穆凯拉什维利 (Sandro Mamukelashvili) 以93%的命中率砍下34分（三分球7投7中！）；而本赛季，则是朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 砍下职业生涯新高的36分，同时投中了创队史纪录的11记三分球（17投11中），带领球队在除夕夜以134-132逆转取胜，为球队难忘的2025年画上了圆满的句号。
在经历了如此精彩的征程后，这确实是一个值得铭记的十二月，现在，马刺正式成为了所有人关注的焦点。请明天继续关注第三部分，那可以说是他们本赛季唯一的一段“艰难”时期。

Spurs Regular Season Recap, Part 2: A December to remember
The Spurs are headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2019, and we now know their first round opponent will be the Portland Trail Blazers, with Game 1 set for 8 PM CT on Sunday. That’s still several days out, so in the meantime, we’re looking back one of the best regular seasons in franchise history.
Yesterday, we looked at the first part of the season, which featured a 5-0 start, followed by the Spurs continuing to roll despite missing Victor Wembanyama for 12 straight games thanks to a calf strain. In his absence, the Spurs still thrived thanks to the leadership of De’Aaron Fox and the superior depth they had developed over the years via the draft and free agency. It all added up to a win on the road against the Lakers to earn a trip to Las Vegas for the NBA Cup Semi-Finals, which is where we’re picking things up today.
Part 2: Dec. 13 – Dec. 31 (7-2*)
* Not counting their loss in the NBA Cup Final to the Knicks.
Technically, this is just nine games (10 if you count the Cup Final that fortunately counts as Wemby’s 65th game and makes him award eligible but not in any other capacity), so it might be a stretch to consider this an entire segment of the season, but it was too memorable not to! Still, even though I counted the first part of December in Part 1 (since we’re using Wemby’s return as the launching point for this part), we’ll still point out that a win in New Orleans on December 8 kicked off their first 8-game winning streak since 2019, and they went 11-3 overall (again, not counting the Cup Final). Also, the Spurs had 8 different players lead the team in scoring in December, which is mind-blowing and another reminder of their insane depth (hat tip to TontonOngBak).
The third game of that winning streak is where we’re kicking things off here, beginning in Las Vegas with Wemby returning to from his extended absence, albeit in a bench role and on minutes restrictions, just in time for the first of what would be three surprising victories over the Thunder, beginning with a Cup Semifinal win after a back and forth 4th quarter, which officially brought the Spurs to the national audience’s attention.
While they would go on to lose the Cup Final to the Knicks (who are a surprisingly stubborn matchup for them), it didn’t officially count, although Keldon Johnson still got a big enough bonus to get his llamas! From there, they continued their win streak with a few easy games against the Wizards and Hawks before a home-away miniseries against the Thunder, in which they blew them out at home before a surprisingly comfortable win in OKC on Christmas Day. As Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went on to say, you don’t lose to the same team three times in 12 days without them being better than you.
After all that excitement, they returned home for a couple of letdown losses against the Jazz and Utah before ending on a high note. In what is becoming a trend in their home games against the Knicks, a random role player steps up with a historical performance to lead the Spurs to an exciting victory. Last year, it was Sandro Mamukelashvili with 34 points on 93% shooting (7-7 from three!), and this season, it was Julian Champagnie with a career-high 36 points while hitting a franchise record 11 threes on 17 attempts to lead them to a come-from-behind 134-132 win on New Year’s Eve and cap off a memorable 2025 for the team.
It sure was a December to remember after such an amazing run, and now, the Spurs were officially on everyone’s radar. Check back tomorrow as we visit part three, which was arguably their only “rough” patch of the season.
