2026年4月19日（周日），在圣安东尼奥弗罗斯特银行中心举行的NBA季后赛首轮对阵波特兰开拓者队的第一场比赛下半场中，圣安东尼奥马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 和圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) (3) 对马刺队被判的一次技术犯规做出反应。马刺队以111-98获胜。
第二场取胜关键
做好手感回归常态的准备
马刺队在第一场胜利中最明显的因素就是三分球。马刺队在外线投中了球，而波特兰则没有。
马刺队三分球33投15中（命中率44.5%），略高于他们的平均水平。开拓者队则表现糟糕，38投仅10中（命中率26.3%），远低于他们的平均值。
三分线外15分的差距成为了比赛的分水岭。
马刺队应当预料到波特兰在第二场比赛中的投篮表现会有所回升，同时也应预料到他们自己的手感可能会有所下滑。
留意朱·霍勒迪 (Jrue Holiday)，他在常规赛期间的三分命中率为37.8%，但在周日的比赛中仅有7投1中，表现惨淡。
马刺队需要在细节上做得更好，以应对即将到来的三分线外的数据回归。
让每个人都参与进来
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 砍下的35分是第一场比赛的头条新闻，这理所应当。这是马刺队史上球员季后赛首秀的最高得分。
然而，正如波特兰在浪费了全明星后卫德尼·阿夫迪亚 (Deni Avdija) 的爆发之夜所证明的那样，一个人无法成就季后赛的胜利。
马刺队之所以能赢下第一场比赛，是因为在文班亚马下场休息的时间里，他们也赢得了比赛。
尽管他们阵中最高产的两名替补得分手凯尔登·约翰逊和迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 表现平平，但他们依然做到了这一点。这要归功于替补中锋卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet)，他在文班亚马休息时稳住了阵脚，在14分钟的出场时间里贡献了10分、6个篮板和强硬的防守。
德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 的17分和8次助攻至关重要，德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 的15分和4个关键三分球同样功不可没。
如果马刺队能继续从那些身高不是7英尺4英寸且不是法国籍的球员身上获得产出，这将极大地帮助他们在系列赛中取得2-0的领先。
守住篮板球
在第一场比赛中，马刺队以45-38赢得了篮板球大战，这是获胜的一个不显眼但极其重要的因素。他们尤其擅长限制开拓者在进攻篮板上的拼抢，而这正是波特兰获胜方程式中的重要组成部分。
马刺队抢下了11个进攻篮板，而开拓者队只有8个，并且在二次进攻得分上以13分与波特兰持平。
如果这些数据旗鼓相当，波特兰可能无法获胜。马刺队在篮板球上的强势表现是在文班亚马（常规赛篮板王）仅抢下5个篮板的情况下完成的。
相反，马刺队对篮板的统治证明了团队的力量，共有7名球员至少抢到了4个篮板。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和凯尔登·约翰逊以7个篮板并列全队最高。
如果马刺队想要拿下第二场比赛，另一个全员拼抢篮板的夜晚是必不可少的。

Spurs vs. Blazers: Game 2 Keys to Victory
San Antonio Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson and San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (3) react to a technical foul called on the Spurs during the second half of Game 1 of a first-round NBA playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers at Frost Bank Center, Sunday, April 19, 2026, in San Antonio. The Spurs won 111-98.
Game 2 Keys to Victory
Prepare for regression
The most obvious factor in the Spurs’ Game 1 victory was 3-point shooting. The Spurs made their shots from deep. Portland did not.
At 15-for-33 (44.5%), the Spurs finished a bit above their average clip. The Trail Blazers connected on a dreadful 10 of 38 (26.3%), well below their average.
That 15-point swing from beyond the arc was the difference in the game.
The Spurs should expect Portland to shoot a bit better in Game 2. The Spurs should also expect to shoot a bit worse themselves.
Keep an eye on Jrue Holiday, who hit 37.8% from long range during the regular season but finished Sunday a woeful 1-of-7.
The Spurs need to tighten up around the margins to account for the upcoming regression from 3-point range.
Keep everyone involved
Victor Wembanyama’s 35 points were the headline in Game 1, and for good reason. It was the most points for a player making his playoff debut in Spurs history.
As Portland proved in wasting a big night from All-Star guard Deni Avdija, however, one man does not a playoff victory make.
The Spurs won Game 1 because they also won the minutes when Wembanyama was off the floor.
They accomplished that despite quiet nights from their two most prolific bench scorers, Keldon Johnson and Dylan Harper. Kudos to backup center Luke Kornet, who held the fort when Wembanyama rested, with 10 points, six rebounds and some formidable defense in his 14 minutes of action.
De’Aaron Fox’s 17 points and eight assists were crucial, as were Devin Vassell’s 15 points and four timely 3-pointers.
If the Spurs continue to get production from players who are not 7-foot-4 and French, it will go a long way toward staking them to a 2-0 series lead.
Stay on the boards
In Game 1, the Spurs won the rebounding battle 45-38, a quietly huge factor in the win. They were especially adept at limiting the Blazers’ work on the offensive glass, a huge part of Portland’s victory formula.
The Spurs grabbed 11 offensive rebounds to the Trail Blazers’ eight, and matched Portland in second-chance points with 13.
Portland probably cannot win if those numbers are close to even. The Spurs’ big night on the glass came with Wembanyama, their leading rebounder during the regular season, securing a modest five.
Instead, the Spurs’ domination of the boards proved a group effort, with seven players collecting at least four. Stephon Castle and Keldon Johnson tied for the team lead with seven.
Another good gang rebounding night is imperative if the Spurs aim to take Game 2.
