圣安东尼奥马刺对阵明尼苏达森林狼的次轮系列赛第一场是一场艰苦且充满身体对抗的较量。两支球队在比赛的大部分时间里都在得分端表现挣扎。森林狼曾打出一波14-2的高潮，建立了9分的领先优势，这也是全场最大分差。马刺在比赛后期奋起直追，但最终以102-104惜败。
森林狼目前取得了系列赛1-0的领先，并夺回了主场优势。这一点至关重要，因为明尼苏达在本届季后赛中主场未尝败绩。尽管输掉了第一场，马刺在 FanDuel 上仍被看好能在主场赢下第二场，赔率为-360。
圣安东尼奥需要在第二场比赛中打出更强的进攻。他们的两位球星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 在周一合计31投10中，仅得21分。我们将从他们开始进行第一场的球员评分。友情提醒，这些评分基于每位球员的场上表现，不仅限于统计数据。“B”级代表个人的平均表现。如果球员上场时间不足5分钟或仅在垃圾时间出场，其评分将显示为不完整。
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)
40分钟，11分，15篮板，5助攻，12盖帽，3失误，3犯规，17投5中，三分8投0中，正负值+5
如果你只看数据统计，你会认为这是文班亚马在季后赛中表现最好的比赛之一。他拿下了包含12次盖帽的三双，这是NBA季后赛历史单场最高盖帽纪录。他在比赛的大部分时间里都很好地保护了篮筐，但在第四节，森林狼成功地将他拉离了禁区，或者在篮下对他使用“戈塔特掩护 (Gortat screens)”，导致他无法干扰投篮。结果，明尼苏达的进攻比圣安东尼奥高效得多，并最终赢得了比赛。
马刺必须在这个系列赛中找到办法，让文班亚马在有利的位置接球。他在半场进攻中没有获得太多高质量的出手机会。他的大部分回合都是在弧顶作为掩护者和传球手度过的，而不是通过掩护切出投篮或顺下空接。因此，文班亚马始终没有找到节奏，经历了一个罕见且低效的投篮之夜。虽然累积数据令人印象深刻，但他对比赛的整体影响力比平时要受限。
评分： B+
达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)
33分钟，10分，3篮板，6助攻，6失误，3犯规，14投5中，三分4投0中，正负值-13
举起你们的干草叉和火把吧！福克斯打了一场糟糕的比赛！
希望我们已经学会了不要对一场比赛反应过度。在马刺最需要他的时候，福克斯在进攻端表现得非常挣扎，难以产生影响。他出现了多次失误，其中一些非常致命，而且投篮始终无法命中。直到比赛快结束时，他才终于开始推节奏并在篮下得分。看起来他在本场比赛中并不像第一轮对阵波特兰时那样拥有绝对的运动能力优势。
福克斯非常有天赋，这种情况不会贯穿整个系列赛。他在比赛后期开始找回了一些感觉。或许那种进攻爆发会延续到第二场比赛中。
评分： D
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)
28分钟，17分，5篮板，5助攻，6犯规，8投4中，三分5投3中，正负值+4
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 对马刺在这个系列赛中的成功至关重要。圣安东尼奥需要他强硬的防守来应对森林狼的身体对抗。他虽然犯满离场，但其中一些犯规只是在面对两名强壮球员时陷入了糟糕的境地。随着安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 看起来足够健康并能对系列赛产生实质性影响，卡斯尔将肩负起限制他的重任。
虽然迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 全队得分最高，但卡斯尔的进攻表现最令我印象深刻。他命中了空位定点三分，并且是马刺队中少数几个能冲击篮筐并制造犯规的球员之一，罚球线上8投6中。马刺需要他出场超过28分钟才能在系列赛中保持竞争力。
评分： B+
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie)
32分钟，17分，7篮板，1失误，2犯规，12投7中，三分7投3中，正负值+7
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在关键时刻的篮板球给了马刺巨大的帮助。他抢下了3个进攻篮板，其中许多是在强力对抗下抢到的，这让圣安东尼奥得以延续悬念。正因如此，球在最后几秒钟落到他手里显得非常合时宜。如果尚帕尼的绝杀三分投进了，我们现在对这个系列赛的讨论就会完全不同。那是来自球队最准的三分射手的一次极佳出手机会。他在系列赛中还会有更多救赎的机会，因为马刺迫切需要他的场上空间。
评分： B+
德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell)
36分钟，14分，5篮板，3助攻，3抢断，1盖帽，1失误，4犯规，11投5中，三分6投3中，正负值+7
说到拉开空间的射手，德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 在周一的表现正是如此，三分球6投3中。他的投篮为马刺的进攻注入了活力。圣安东尼奥需要瓦塞尔投进更多的中距离跳投。由于森林狼的身高优势，他没能获得太多这样的机会。感觉在鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert) 坐镇禁区的情况下，他平时稳如泰山的中投机会消失了。
瓦塞尔完成了三次抢断，但他的防守在这个系列赛中可能仍是个问题。当瓦塞尔换防到朱利叶斯·兰德尔 (Julius Randle) 时，森林狼会针对他进行攻击。这种防守对位在比赛后期给马刺制造了很多麻烦。如何处理兰德尔面对小个球员的情况，应该是马刺接下来的关键。
评分： B
迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)
29分钟，18分，4篮板，4助攻，4犯规，13投7中，三分4投1中，正负值-4
哈珀在周一的比赛中领跑全队得分榜。他和卡斯尔是马刺仅有的能在半场进攻中冲击篮筐的后卫。他在篮下的手感让他能够绕过或顶着明尼苏达的高大防守者完成终结。防守端，哈珀在防守爱德华兹时表现得非常出色。哈珀拥有足以跟上这位森林狼球星的力量和速度。我希望随着系列赛的进行，能看到更多这样的对位。
评分： B+
凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)
24分钟，11分，2篮板，1助攻，2犯规，10投5中，三分2投0中，正负值-13
在对阵波特兰表现挣扎后，凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 终于找回了他的打法——强行冲击篮筐并完成终结。他在篮板球方面的贡献有限，且比赛后期的防守表现不佳。他漏掉了关键的防守轮转，在换防到爱德华兹时也完全处于劣势。马刺需要更多常规赛期间那种硬朗的约翰逊，尤其是在面对明尼苏达时。
评分： C+
卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet)
8分钟，2分，2篮板，2失误，1犯规，1投0中，正负值-7
当卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 在场时，森林狼疯狂地冲击篮筐。他在第一场比赛中在攻防两端都成了负担，仅上场8分钟正负值就达到了-7。科内特可以考虑在武器库中增加一种禁区内的推射，就像许多大个子在防守退缩时所使用的得分手段那样。有好几次，如果科内特拥有抛投或快速推射的能力，他本可以得分。
评分： D
哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)
10分钟，2分，4篮板，1盖帽，1投1中，正负值+4
哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 抢下了三个进攻篮板，并在有限的时间里做了很多细小的工作。马刺在这个系列赛中可能需要他，因为他们被迫增加场上高度来对位明尼苏达。如果是这样的话，他们需要巴恩斯找回三分手感，因为他在季后赛至今表现低迷。
评分： B-
缺阵球员： 哈里森·英格拉姆 (Harrison Ingram)、大卫·琼斯-加西亚 (David Jones-Garcia)、伊曼纽尔·米勒 (Emanuel Miller)

Spurs vs. Timberwolves player grades: Wembanyama breaks playoff block record in loss
Game One of the San Antonio Spurs second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves was a tough, physical contest. Both teams struggled to score for most of the games. The Wolves went on a 14-2 run to build a 9-point lead, the biggest of the game. San Antonio surged back late, but fell just short in a 104-102 loss.
The Timberwolves have now grabbed a 1-0 series lead and stolen home court advantage. That’s important because Minnesota has not lost at home in these playoffs. Despite the loss, the Spurs are still -360 favorites to win Game Two at home on FanDuel.
San Antonio will need more offense in Game Two. Their two stars, Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, combined for 21 points on 10-31 shooting on Monday. We’ll start with them for our Game One 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.
Victor Wembanyama
*40 minutes, 11 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 12 blocks, 3 turnovers, 3 fouls, 5-for-17 shooting, 0-for-8 threes, +*5
If you just looked at the box score, you’d think this was one of Wembanyama’s best games of the postseason. He had a triple-double with 12 blocks, the most in any NBA Playoff game. He was great at protecting the rim for most of the game, but in the fourth quarter, the Wolves were able to pull him away from the basket or set Gortat screens on him under the rim, where he couldn’t get to shots. As a result, Minnesota ran a much more efficient offense than San Antonio and ultimately won the game.
The Spurs have to find ways to get Wembanyama the ball in advantageous situations in this series. He did not get many strong looks in the half-court. Most of his possessions were spent at the top of the arc as a screener and passer, rather than coming off screens for jumpers or rolling to the rim for lobs. As a result, Wembanyama never got into a rhythm and had a rare, inefficient shooting night. The counting stats were impressive, but his overall impact on the game was more limited than usual.
Grade: B+
De’Aaron Fox
33 minutes, 10 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 turnovers, 3 fouls, 5-for-14 shooting, 0-for-4 threes, -13
Bring out your pitchforks and torches! Fox had a bad game!
Hopefully, we’ve learned not to overreact to one game. Fox struggled mightily to make an impact on offense when the Spurs needed him most. He racked up turnovers, some of them very bad ones, and couldn’t get a shot to fall. Near the end of the game, he finally started to push the pace and score around the rim. It seems like he doesn’t have the same athletic advantage in this game that he had against Portland in Round One.
Fox is far too gifted for this to continue throughout the series. He started to figure things out late in the game. Perhaps that offensive outburst will continue into Game Two.
Grade: D
Stephon Castle
28 minutes, 17 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 fouls, 4-for-8 shooting, 3-for-5 threes, +4
Castle will be vital to the Spurs’ success in this series. San Antonio needed his tough defense to match the Wolves’ physicality. He fouled out of the game, but some of those were just about getting caught in a bad situation with two physical players. With Anthony Edwards seemingly healthy enough to make a real impact on the series, Castle will be tasked with slowing him down.
Dylan Harper led the team in scoring, but Castle’s offense was the most impressive to me. He knocked down open spot-up jumpers and was one of the few Spurs who could get to the rim and draw fouls, going 6-8 from the free-throw line. They’ll need him to play more than 28 minutes to compete in this series.
Grade: B+
Julian Champagnie
32 minutes, 17 points, 7 rebounds, 1 turnover, 2 fouls, 7-for-12 shooting, 3-for-7 threes, +7
Champagnie helped the Spurs tremendously with his rebounding down the stretch. He had 3 offensive rebounds, many of them contested, to keep San Antonio alive. That’s why it was fitting that the ball found him with seconds remaining on the clock. If Champagnie’s game-winning three-pointer goes down, we are having a different conversation about this series. It was a great look from the team’s best three-point shooter. He’ll have more chances to redeem himself in the series, as the Spurs will desperately need his floor spacing.
Grade: B+
Devin Vassell
36 minutes, 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover, 4 fouls, 5-for-11 shooting, 3-for-6 threes, +7
Speaking of shooters stretching the floor, Vassell did just that, shooting 3-for-6 from deep on Monday. His shooting gave the Spurs offense a boost. San Antonio could use more mid-range jumpers from Vassell. He wasn’t able to get many of them off due to the Wolves’ length. It felt like those mid-range J’s he usually nails were not available with Rudy Gobert roaming the paint.
Vassell swiped the ball away three times, but his defense may remain an issue in the series. Minnesota went at Vassell when he switched onto Julius Randle. That defensive matchup caused a lot of problems for the Spurs late in the game. Finding out how to deal with Randle while smaller players are on the floor should be a key for San Antonio moving forward.
Grade: B
Dylan Harper
29 minutes, 18 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 fouls, 7-for-13 shooting, 1-for-4 threes, -4
Harper led the Spurs in scoring on Monday. He and Castle were really the only Spurs guards who could attack the basket in the half-court. His touch around the rim allows him to finish around or through Minnesota’s bigger defenders. Defensively, Harper did an inspired job on Edwards. Harper has the strength and quickness to keep up with the Wolves’ star. I’d like to see more of that matchup as the series progresses.
Grade: B+
Keldon Johnson
24 minutes, 11 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 fouls, 5-for-10 shooting, 0-for-2 threes, -13
After struggling against Portland, Johnson finally got back to his game of bullying his way to the rim and finishing. He was limited on the boards, and his defense late in the game was not great. He missed key defensive rotations and was toast when he switched onto Edwards. The Spurs need more of the hard-nosed Johnson they saw in the regular season, especially against Minnesota.
Grade: C+
Luke Kornet
8 minutes, 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 turnovers, 1 foul, 0-for-1 shooting, -7
The Wolves attacked the basket like crazy when Kornet was in the game. He was a liability on both ends in Game One, posting a -7 plus-minus in just 8 minutes. One thing Kornet could afford to add is a push shot in the paint, as so many big men have utilized to score when the defense is on its heels. There were several occasions when Kornet could have had a bucket if he had a floater or a pop-a-shot look in his bag of tricks.
Grade: D
Harrison Barnes
10 minutes, 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block, 1-for-1 shooting, +4
Barnes grabbed three offensive rebounds and did a lot of the little things in his limited minutes. The Spurs might need him in this series as they are forced to play bigger to match up with Minnesota. If that is the case, they’ll need Barnes to hit a hot streak from three, as he’s been cold so far in the playoffs.
Grade: B-
Inactives: Harrison Ingram, David Jones-Garcia, Emanuel Miller
