在第三场比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队似乎一度失去了所有希望。第三节还剩 7 分 30 秒时，球队在客场落后 15 分，进攻毫无节奏，防守毫无抵抗，而且还没有维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)。直到一名新秀挺身而出，以一己之力扛起球队，在转瞬之间（或者说在半节时间里）扭转了比赛局势，甚至可能改变了整个季后赛首轮系列赛的走向。迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 在第三节砍下 12 分，统治了波特兰开拓者队，率队以 120-108 逆转取胜。
他与马刺队的其他年轻核心在下半场共同完成了爆发。尽管他、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 都只有 21 岁或更年轻，但他们都在这场胜利中发挥了巨大作用。这正是马刺队需要的那种能够扭转整个系列赛氛围的比赛。赢球后，圣安东尼奥在 FanDuel 上被看好能拿下第四场比赛，赔率为 -190。
圣安东尼奥的年轻核心将领衔第三场的球员评分。提示：这些评分基于每位球员的场上表现，不仅限于统计数据。“B”级代表个人平均水平。如果球员出场时间少于 5 分钟或仅在垃圾时间上场，其评分将为“不完整”。
迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)
30 分钟，27 分，10 篮板，3 助攻，1 抢断，1 盖帽，1 失误，4 犯规，12 投 9 中，三分球 5 投 4 中，正负值 +25
这是哈珀的成名之战，他在前两场比赛中表现相对沉寂。这位新秀在第三场比赛中既能放狠话，也能打硬仗。他毫无畏惧，在罚球时对着开拓者球员喷垃圾话，或者在投进三分球后对着对方替补席伸出三根手指。当斯库特·亨德森 (Scoot Henderson) 在他头上得分后，他也立刻回喷垃圾话，随后亨德森吃到了一次技术犯规（这位新秀的挑衅堪称大师级）。接着，哈珀冲到另一端，将亨德森和罗伯特·威廉姆斯三世 (Robert Williams III) 都扣进了背景板。
哈珀的自信似乎感染了全队。突然之间，他们开始主动攻击波特兰，而不是像比赛大部分时间那样被动挨打。球队开始加快节奏，逼迫波特兰仓促出手，而他们自己则能杀入篮下，或在早期进攻中创造轻松得分的机会。如果马刺队最终赢得这轮系列赛，我们很可能会将哈珀的这次表现视为把他们带向胜利的关键转折点。
评分： A+
德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)
36 分钟，18 分，4 篮板，6 助攻，2 失误，4 犯规，16 投 7 中，三分球 6 投 1 中，正负值 +8
福克斯在这轮系列赛中备受质疑，但我认为他在第三场比赛中的表现是大师级的。他做到了一个老牌后卫在季后赛中应该做的一切。他处理球恰到好处，没有过度个人进攻从而干扰马刺队的进攻流畅度。当球队的传导球陷入停滞时，福克斯努力带动队友。第四节末段，当圣安东尼奥开始松懈，波特兰打出一波 6-0 的高潮时，福克斯感受到了紧迫感，开始接管比赛。
自从文班亚马缺阵后，开拓者队最好的外线防守者图马尼·卡马拉 (Toumani Camara) 一直在死缠福克斯。这实际上减轻了马刺队其他后卫的压力。福克斯通过不贪功的表现很好地应对了这一点。
评分： B+
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)
34 分钟，33 分，2 篮板，5 助攻，1 抢断，4 失误，2 犯规，18 投 10 中，三分球 4 投 3 中，正负值 -9
如果不是哈珀在进攻端的爆发，我们很可能会讨论卡斯尔才是本场最佳球员。在波特兰上半场手感火热时，是他让马刺队保持了竞争力。卡斯尔进攻欲望极强，11 次走上罚球线并命中了其中的 10 球。他在三分线外效率极高，投中了三记三分。卡斯尔帮助球队收割了比赛，在第四节命中了一些关键球以扩大领先优势。
卡斯尔在防守端的表现最为令人印象深刻。他和布莱恩特（稍后详述）让德尼·阿夫迪亚 (Deni Avdija) 彻底哑火。这位开拓者队表现最好的球员全场 15 投仅 3 中得到 19 分。阿夫迪亚在禁区内就像保龄球一样，一次又一次地冲击防守者的胸口。卡斯尔顶住了压力，大部分时间都没有犯规，并且在进攻端立刻予以回击。周五晚上的表现是真正的攻防一体。
评分： A
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie)
27 分钟，9 分，6 篮板，1 助攻，1 抢断，1 失误，1 犯规，7 投 3 中，三分球 4 投 2 中，正负值 +7
尚帕尼在第三场比赛中表现得更加积极，而圣安东尼奥也确实需要他这样做。他命中了一些挂掩护后的移动三分，并在波特兰对他过度防守时尝试冲击篮筐。尚帕尼在进攻端不能只靠一招鲜，所以看到他尝试做更多事情是件好事，即使结果好坏参半。归根结底，如果尚帕尼能继续命中三分并在篮板球上拼抢，他就完成了任务。
评分： B
德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell)
33 分钟，11 分，7 篮板，3 助攻，2 抢断，1 盖帽，2 失误，3 犯规，12 投 4 中，三分球 7 投 3 中，正负值 +6
瓦塞尔在周五投中了一些关键三分，包括第四节拉开分差期间的一记远投。即便如此，他在第三场比赛中的投篮选择有些起伏。由于波特兰对他严防死守，他被迫采取了一些高难度的中距离跳投。瓦塞尔在绕掩护跑动时吸引了大量的防守注意力，马刺队的后卫们有几次漏掉了他，否则他本可以获得空位跳投的机会。
这位马刺侧翼的防守努力值得称赞。他在防守端非常专注，在这轮系列赛中积累了大量的抢断和盖帽数据。即使在投篮不顺时，他依然能产生影响力。
评分： B
卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet)
30 分钟，14 分，10 篮板，2 助攻，2 盖帽，1 失误，5 犯规，9 投 6 中，三分球 1 投 1 中，正负值 +4
当科内特投进底角三分球时，我惊得合不拢嘴。这是他自 2023-2024 赛季以来投进的第一记三分球。抛开这个精彩瞬间不谈，科内特在攻防两端的表现都非常出色。他在篮板球上奋力拼抢，抓下了 5 个进攻篮板，其中包括一次补篮扣篮，他简直是从威廉姆斯三世手中硬生生把球夺了过来。防守端，他的位置感极佳，并送出两次盖帽保护禁区。科内特正在确立自己作为联盟中顶级（如果不是最强的话）替补中锋之一的地位。
评分： A
哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)
6 分钟，0 分，1 篮板，1 投 0 中，三分球 1 投 0 中，正负值 -2
巴恩斯目前基本上已经掉出了轮换阵容。他在进攻端没有发挥影响力，而布莱恩特在防守端要比他强出好几个档次。我仍然认为会有那么一场比赛，马刺队能从他的进攻中获得火花，但第三场比赛并非如此。
评分： C
凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)
21 分钟，5 分，5 篮板，3 助攻，1 抢断，1 盖帽，2 失误，2 犯规，7 投 1 中，三分球 1 投 1 中，正负值 +4
约翰逊继续在攻防两端拼搏，但在把球投进篮筐方面运气不佳。开拓者队对 KJ 来说是一个艰难的对手。他们的内线擅长护筐，而他们的侧翼球员高大强壮，阻止了他像往常那样横冲直撞杀向篮筐。他糟糕的表现并非因为缺乏努力。他依然在篮板端肉搏，并在防守端倾其所有，即便波特兰正试图在防守端针对他。
评分： C+
卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant)
23 分钟，3 分，6 篮板，4 助攻，3 盖帽，4 犯规，5 投 1 中，三分球 4 投 1 中，正负值 +17
这位许多人认为几乎进不了轮换的新秀，在季后赛中承担起了最重要的角色之一。布莱恩特被委以重任，换位去打中锋。他成功迎接了这一挑战。布莱恩特的拼劲让人赏心悦目。他抓下了 4 个进攻篮板，送出 3 次盖帽，并对阿夫迪亚打出了他本赛季最好的防守表现之一。布莱恩特通常以防守端侵略性过强而闻名，但在下半场，他在防守波特兰最佳球员时做得非常出色，且没有犯规。
他在进攻端可以表现得更自信一点。有时候他接到球后并不太清楚该怎么处理。他已经证明了自己能投中空位跳投，他需要果断出手，这样马刺队才能充分利用小球阵容带来的优势。他在投篮得分方面的不足，通过创造机会得到了弥补。布莱恩特在持球时做出了很多正确的决策，在第三场的胜利中送出了 4 次助攻。

Spurs vs. Trail Blazers player grades: San Antonio’s young core shines in Game Three win
All hope seemed to be lost for the San Antonio Spurs in Game Three. With 7:30 left in the quarter, the team was down 15 points on the road, with no offensive rhythm, no defensive resistance, and no Victor Wembanyama. That was until a rookie of all people put the team on his back and, in the blink of an eye (or for half a quarter), turned around the game and perhaps the entire first-round series. Dylan Harper scored 12 points in the third quarter, dominating the Portland Trail Blazers on the way to a 120-108 victory.
He and the rest of the Spurs’ young core flipped the switch in the second half. He, Stephon Castle, and Carter Bryant played huge roles in the win despite all being 21 or younger. It was exactly the type of game the Spurs needed to flip the vibe of the entire series. After the win, San Antonio is a -190 favorite to take Game Four on FanDuel.
San Antonio’s young core will lead Game Three’s player grades. 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.
Dylan Harper
30 minutes, 27 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 turnover, 4 fouls, 9-for-12 shooting, 4-for-5 threes, +25
This was a coming-out party for Harper, who had been relatively quiet in the first two games. The rookie talked the talk and walked the walk in Game Three. There was no fear, as he jawed at the Blazers while shooting free throws or held up three fingers at their bench after making a three-pointer. When Scoot Henderson scored on him, he talked smack right back to Harper before getting a technical (a masterclass in trolling by the rookie). Then Harper went down to the other end and put Scoot and Robert Williams III on a poster.
Harper’s confidence seemed to infect the rest of the team. All of a sudden, they were attacking Portland rather than getting attacked as they had for most of the game. The team started playing with more pace, rushing Portland into bad shots while they got to the basket or created easy shots in early offense. If the Spurs end up winning this series, we’ll likely be talking about Harper’s performance as the pivotal turning point that got them there.
Grade: A+
De’Aaron Fox
36 minutes, 18 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 turnovers, 4 fouls, 7-for-16 shooting, 1-for-6 threes, +8
Fox has been under a lot of scrutiny in this series, but I thought he was masterful in Game Three. He did exactly what a veteran guard should do in the playoffs. He pushed all of the right buttons and didn’t do too much to interrupt the Spurs’ offensive flow. When the team’s ball movement got stagnant, Fox tried to get others involved. Late in the fourth quarter, when San Antonio was starting to take their foot off the gas, and Portland went on a 6-0 run, Fox began to take over, sensing the urgency of the moment.
Toumani Camara, the Blazers’ best perimeter defender, has been stuck on Fox since Wembanyama went out. That has actively taken pressure off the Spurs’ other guards. Fox has handled it well by not trying to do too much.
Grade: B+
Stephon Castle
34 minutes, 33 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 4 turnovers, 2 fouls, 10-for-18 shooting, 3-for-4 threes, -9
If it weren’t for Harper exploding offensively, we would likely be talking about Castle as the player of the game. He kept the Spurs afloat in the first half while Portland was shooting the lights out. Castle attacked relentlessly, getting to the free-throw line 11 times, knocking down 10 of those free shots. He was efficient from three, knocking down a trio of triples. Castle helped close this one out, hitting some huge shots in the fourth quarter to extend the lead.
Castle has been most impressive on the defensive end. He and Bryant (more on him later) took Deni Avdija out of the game. The Blazers’ best player went 3-15 from the field for 19 points. Avdija is a bowling ball in the paint, going into his defender’s chest over and over again. Castle has held his ground, without fouling for the most part, and went right back at him on the other end. Friday night was a true two-way performance.
Grade: A
Julian Champagnie
27 minutes, 9 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 1 foul, 3-for-7 shooting, 2-for-4 threes, +7
Champagnie was far more aggressive in Game Three, and San Antonio needed him to be. He took some movement threes off screens and attempted to attack the basket when Portland overplayed him. Champagnie can’t afford to be one-dimensional offensively, so it’s good to see him attempting to do more, even if the results have been mixed. Ultimately, if Champagnie continues to knock down threes and battle on the boards, he is doing his job.
Grade: B
Devin Vassell
33 minutes, 11 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers, 3 fouls, 4-for-12 shooting, 3-for-7 threes, +6
Vassell hit some big threes on Friday, including one during their fourth-quarter run to extend the lead. That said, his shot selection was a bit mixed in Game Three. He’s taking some tough mid-range jumpers because Portland is guarding him so hard. Vassell is drawing a ton of defensive attention when he is running off screens, and the Spurs’ guards missed him a few times for what would have been open jumpers.
The Spurs’ wing should get a lot of credit for his defensive effort. He’s been locked in on that end, loading up on stocks (steals + blocks) in this series. He’s been a difference maker even when his shot isn’t falling.
Grade: B
Luke Kornet
30 minutes, 14 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 1 turnover, 5 fouls, 6-for-9 shooting, 1-for-1 threes +4
My jaw dropped when Kornet hit a corner three-pointer. It was his first made three-pointer since the 2023-2024 season. That highlight aside, Kornet was awesome on both ends. He battled on the boards, grabbing 5 offensive rebounds, including a put-back dunk where he literally snatched the ball from Williams III’s hands. Defensively, he has been positionally sound and protected the paint with two blocks. Kornet is establishing himself as one of, if not the best, backup centers in the league.
Grade: A
Harrison Barnes
6 minutes, 0 points, 1 rebound, 0-for-1 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, -2
Barnes is essentially out of the rotation at this point. He’s not making an impact offensively, and Bryant has been leagues better defensively. I still think there will be a game when the Spurs get a spark from him offensively, but it did not happen in Game Three.
Grade: C
Keldon Johnson
*21 minutes, 5 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 2 turnovers, 2 fouls, 1-for-7 shooting, 1-for-1 threes, +*4
Johnson continues to fight on both ends, but hasn’t had any luck putting the ball in the basket. The Blazers are a tough matchup for KJ. Their bigs are great at protecting the rim, and their wings are big and physical, keeping him from barreling his way to the rim like he normally does. His poor performances are not due to a lack of effort. He’s still battling on the glass and giving it all defensively, even if Portland is trying to target him on that end.
Grade: C+
Carter Bryant
23 minutes, 3 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 4 fouls, 1-for-5 shooting, 1-for-4 threes, +17
The rookie whom many thought would barely be in the rotation has taken on one of the most important roles in the playoffs. Bryant has been tasked with playing out of position at center. He’s risen to that challenge. Bryant’s effort is a joy to watch. He grabbed 4 offensive rebounds, blocked 3 shots, and played some of his best defense of the season on Advija. Bryant is usually known for being overly aggressive on defense, but in the second half, he did an incredible job of defending Portland’s best player without fouling.
He could afford to be a bit more confident on the offensive end. There are times when he catches the ball and doesn’t really know what to do with it. He’s proven he can hit open jumpers, and needs to be taking them so the Spurs can take advantage of the perks that come with a small-ball lineup. What he has lacked in shot-making, he has made up for in shot creation. Bryant has made a lot of good decisions with the ball in his hands, and he racked up 4 assists in Game Three’s win.
Grade: A-
Inactives: Victory Wembanyama, Harrison Ingram, David Jones-Garcia, Emanuel Miller
