圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) (1) 在周五（2026年5月8日）于明尼阿波利斯标靶中心举行的西部半决赛第三场下半场投中三分球后做鬼脸。
明尼阿波利斯讯——在职业生涯至今最重要的一场季后赛胜利后，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 试图保持冷静。
“我们还没取得任何成就，”这位马刺全明星球员说道。
的确，马刺想要淘汰明尼苏达，闯入自2017年以来的首次西部决赛，仍有工作要做。
周五，他们在标靶中心艰难地以115-108赢下第三场，系列赛大比分2-1领先，并夺回了主场优势。
文班亚马砍下季后赛生涯新高的39分，外加15个篮板和5次盖帽；德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 克服慢热，得到17分。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 贡献了季后赛新高的12次助攻和13分。系列赛带着1-1的比分进入周五，马刺深知必须在明尼苏达的两个客场中至少拿下一场，以避免陷入1-3落后的绝境。
他们也知道这绝非易事。在此之前，马刺在标靶中心已经遭遇七连败，这段连败纪录甚至可以追溯到2023年文班加盟之前。
周五首战即达成目标后，马刺将在周日的第四场比赛中获得重创森林狼的机会。
“保持贪婪，努力赢下系列赛剩下的所有比赛，”卡斯尔说道。
安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 在本系列赛的首次首发中表现惊艳。这位森林狼的全明星后卫在41分钟内砍下32分，一度看起来像是要拖着伤痕累累的双膝带领森林狼走向胜利。
马刺在第四节限制住了爱德华兹，而他们自己的超级巨星接管了比赛。
文班在第四节砍下16分、6个篮板和2次盖帽，帮助马刺拼下了这场胜利。
“我会说这更像是稳住局面，”文班说，“我们当时领先，不需要匆忙，需要保持稳定性。与其去做那些惊世骇俗的事情，我们更需要避免犯错。”
卡斯尔这样总结文班在第三场的贡献：
“如果没有他，”卡斯尔说，“我不知道我们今晚能不能赢。”
以下是周五这场胜利的三大总结，这场胜利让马刺牢牢掌控了系列赛局势：
1. 文班末节的“零犯规”表现堪称完美
在文班第四节的数据统计中，有一项可能最为关键。
他在最后六分钟内没有领到一次犯规，这让这位身高7英尺4英寸的法国人得以用统治级的表现收割比赛。
在比赛还剩6分18秒时，文班因对明尼苏达的杰登·麦克丹尼尔斯 (Jaden McDaniels) 下手被吹罚第5次犯规。麦克丹尼尔斯两罚全中，将分差缩小至98-99。
马刺主帅米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 面临抉择。
是留下文班，冒着核心球员在关键时刻犯满离场的风险？还是让他下场休息几分钟，冒着被森林狼反超的风险？
约翰逊选择了信任文班。
“我们不打算在板凳席上留下任何‘子弹’，”约翰逊说，“我们要让他上场，如果他犯满离场了，我们到时再去处理。”
文班让这个选择收到了回报。
从那时起，文班拿下了7分。他面对鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert) 投进了一个打板后仰跳投，文班表示这是他从哈基姆·奥拉朱旺 (Hakeem Olajuwon) 那里学来的。
他用一记三分球回应了纳兹·里德 (Naz Reid) 的三分，随后突破分球给迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 再拿两分。
最重要的是，他在完成这一切的同时，没有吃到会导致他被逐出场的第六次犯规。
2. 斯威尼在系列赛中留下烙印
马刺在周五再次打出了坚如磐石的防守，将森林狼的命中率限制在38.4%。
他们在第一节就奠定了基调，直到该节还剩5分11秒时才让明尼苏达投进第一个运动战进球。
森林狼开场前12投全失，马刺在首节一度取得18-3的领先。
尽管明尼苏达最终在首节结束前将分差缩小到1分，但马刺已经在第三场表明了他们的意图。
而这些意图对对手来说可不是什么好事。
马刺防守统治力的功劳一部分属于文班——联盟历史上最年轻且唯一的全票最佳防守球员。
另一部分则属于副主教练肖恩·斯威尼 (Sean Sweeney)，他去年夏天从达拉斯被挖来，旨在围绕文班打造一个防守怪兽。
圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫德阿隆·福克斯 (De’aaron Fox) (4) 在周五于明尼阿波利斯标靶中心举行的西部半决赛第三场结束后庆祝胜利。马刺队以115-108击败森林狼队，系列赛2-1领先。
这一点在季后赛中得到了体现。
第二场133-95的大胜是马刺在本届季后赛中第四次将对手得分限制在100分以下。
森林狼在周五得到了108分，这是马刺在八场季后赛中失分最多的一次。
但这依然不多。
马刺在这个春天正让对手窒息。斯威尼功不可没。
3. 爱德华兹展现了斗志，但仅有斗志还不够
带着左膝骨挫伤和右膝“跑步者膝”（髌股关节综合征）坚持比赛，爱德华兹显然失去了让他成为联盟最难防守球员之一的那种弹跳和爆发力。
尽管如此，他周五依然砍下32分，这证明了他的毅力。
爱德华兹在第一节砍下13分，包括一记31英尺的压哨超远三分，帮助森林狼走出了开局的低迷。
在出场41分钟（几乎是周一首战出场时间的两倍）后，爱德华兹在末节显得步履蹒跚。
马刺的卡斯尔和德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 联手将爱德华兹在第四节的得分限制在5分。爱德华兹全场26投12中，这证明了马刺让他每一分都拿得异常艰难。
森林狼在第四场扳平比分的机会，可能取决于爱德华兹的膝伤是随着系列赛进行而好转，还是会变得更糟。

3 Takeaways as Wembanyama, Spurs seize Game 3 over Timberwolves
San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama (1) makes a face after scoring a three-pointer during the second half of Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals at Target Center in Minneapolis, Friday, May 8, 2026.
MINNEAPOLIS — Victor Wembanyama tried to keep cool after the latest, biggest playoff win of his playoff career.
“We haven’t done anything yet,” the Spurs’ All-Star said.
It is true the Spurs still have work to do to advance past Minnesota and into their first Western Conference final since 2017.
They took a large and necessary step Friday, gritting out a 115-108 victory in Game 3 at the Target Center, seizing a 2-1 lead in the series and reclaiming home-court advantage.
Wembanyama led the way with a postseason-high 39 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks, while De’Aaron Fox shook off a slow start to finish with 17 points.
Stephon Castle logged a postseason-high 12 assists to go with his 13 points. Heading into Friday with the series tied 1-1, the Spurs knew they needed to win at least one of the next two games in Minnesota to avoid a 3-1 hole.
They also knew it would be a tall task. The Spurs had dropped their previous seven games at the Target Center, a streak that pre-dates Wembanyama’s arrival in 2023.
Having accomplished that goal in their first try Friday, the Spurs enter Game 4 on Sunday with a chance to deliver the Wolves a staggering blow.
“Get greedy and try to win the rest of the games for the rest of the series,” Castle said.
Anthony Edwards dazzled in his first start in the series. Minnesota’s All-Star guard had 32 points in 41 minutes and at times seemed capable of dragging the Timberwolves to victory on a pair of bad knees.
The Spurs cooled Edwards off in the fourth quarter, and the Spurs’ own star took over.
Wembanyama had 16 of his points, six of his rebounds and two of his blocks during the fourth quarter as the Spurs gutted out the win.
“I would say it was more like holding the ship together,” Wembanyama said. “We had a lead. We didn’t need to rush. We needed to be consistent. Rather than doing incredible things or amazing things, we needed to avoid mistakes.”
Castle summed up Wembanyama’s contributions to Game 3 this way:
“Without him,” Castle said, “I don’t know if we win tonight.”
Here are three takeaways from Friday’s victory, which puts the Spurs in firm control of the series:
1. Wemby’s foul-free finish was flawless
Of all the numbers in Wembanyama’s fourth-quarter box score, one was probably most important.
He logged zero fouls in the final six minutes, and that allowed the 7-foot-4 Frenchman to close out the game in dominating fashion.
Wembanyama picked up his fifth foul with 6:18 to play when he swiped at Minnesota’s Jaden McDaniels. The pair of free throws McDaniels made brought the Wolves within 99-98.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson had a decision to make.
Leave Wembanyama in, and risk is most important player fouling out in crunch time? Or give Wembanyama a few minutes on the bench, and risk the Timberwolves taking the lead?
Johnson opted to ride with Wembanyama.
“We were going to not leave any bullets in the chamber in terms of keeping him on the bench,” Johnson said. “We were going to play him and then if he fouled out, we deal that when we got to it.”
Wembanyama made that choice pay off.
From that point forward, Wembanyama scored seven points. He hit Rudy Gobert with a fadeaway off the glass that Wembanyama said he learned from Hakeem Olajuwon.
He answered a Naz Reid 3-pointer with one of his own. He drove and dumped the ball to Dylan Harper for another basket.
Most significantly, he did all of that without committing a sixth foul that would have removed him from the game.
2. Sweeney making his mark on the series
The Spurs put on other rock-solid defensive performance Friday, limiting the Wolves to 38.4% shooting.
They set the tone for that in the first quarter, holding Minnesota without its first field goal until the 5:11 mark of the frame.
The Timberwolves missed their first 12 shots, as the Spurs built an 18-3 lead in the first quarter.
Though Minnesota eventually battled back to pull within a point by the end of the frame, the Spurs had already announced their intentions in Game 3.
Those intentions were not good.
One helping of credit for the Spurs’ defensive dominance goes to Wembanyama, the youngest and only unanimous Defensive Player of the Year in league history.
The other goes to associate head coach Sean Sweeney, who was hired away from Dallas last summer to construct a defensive monster around Wembanyama.
San Antonio Spurs guard De’aaron Fox (4) celebrates the Spurs’ win after Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals at Target Center in Minneapolis, Friday, May 8, 2026. The Spurs defeated the Timberwolves 115-108, leading the series 2-1.
That is showing itself in the playoffs.
The Spurs’ 133-95 victory in Game 2 marked the fourth time this postseason the Spurs limited a team to under 100 points.
Minnesota got to 108 on Friday, the most the Spurs have allowed in eight playoff games.
That still isn’t much.
The Spurs are snuffing out opponents so far this spring. Give Sweeney kudos for that.
3. Edwards shows guts, but guts aren’t enough
Playing through a bone bruise in his left knee and runner’s knee in his right, Edwards clearly doesn’t have the elevation and explosion that make him one of the league’s toughest players to guard.
That he was able to 32 points anyway Friday is testament to his own perseverance.
Edwards scored 13 points in the first quarter, including a 31-foot heave at the horn, to help the Timberwolves emerge from their early doldrums.
Playing 41 minutes – nearly double what he played in the series opener on Monday – Edwards labored down the stretch.
The Spurs tandem of Castle and Devin Vassell teamed up to limit Edwards to five points in the fourth quarter. Edwards ended 12 of 26 from the field, proof the Spurs made him work for his points.
The Wolves’ chances of evening the series in Game 4 might hinge on the question of whether Edwards’ knees are getting better as the series goes along, or whether they get worse.
