圣安东尼奥马刺队在本赛季季后赛的生死战中保持着2胜0负的战绩。在第六场比赛中，银黑军团以139-109大胜明尼苏达森林狼队，自2017年以来首次锁定西部决赛席位。虽然这轮系列赛的前六场比赛给人的感觉异常胶着，但马刺队却在赢下的三场比赛中净胜分达到了29分或更多。现在，他们将获得挑战俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的机会，争夺一张NBA总决赛的入场券。
马刺队在这次胜利中展现了全队的努力。除了其中一名上场球员外，其余所有人都有得分进账，共有六人得分上双。领军人物是斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)，他打出了季后赛至今的最佳表现。在下一轮比赛中，马刺队将需要类似的发挥，因为那将是他们在本届季后赛中首次以弱者身份出战。根据 FanDuel 的赔率，雷霆队以-260的赔率被看好赢得西部冠军。
鉴于马刺队赢下的是一场生死战，这些球员评分将会有所上浮。提醒一下，球员评分是基于每位球员在场上的表现，而不仅仅局限于数据表。“B”级代表个人的平均表现。如果球员上场时间少于5分钟或仅在垃圾时间出场，其评分将记为不完整。
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)
27分钟，19分，6篮板，2助攻，3盖帽，4失误，3犯规，11投6中，三分2投0中，正负值+25
得益于队友们全方位的出色表现，文班亚马在进攻端不需要承担太重的压力。尽管如此，他的效率极高，主要在禁区内出手，通过空接或补篮在森林狼队头顶得分。周五他的哨口待遇不错，9次走上罚球线并命中了7个罚球。
在防守端，这与整个系列赛的情况如出一辙。他封锁了大量的禁区出手，以及禁区外几乎所有的抛投或中距离跳投。明尼苏达在这轮系列赛中始终没能找到应对文班的办法，这也是马刺队最终获胜的重要原因。
评分： A
达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)
24分钟，21分，4篮板，9助攻，2盖帽，1失误，1犯规，10投8中，三分3投3中，正负值+26
这是福克斯在系列赛中表现最好的一场比赛。从开场跳球起他就完全掌控了局面。他轻松地到达自己的出手点，并在禁区内随心所欲地得分。他的三分投射终于找回了准星，也许是因为森林狼队在他大多数三分出手时都给了大空档。他找到了位置并命中投篮。在防守端他继续保持强势，将明尼苏达的持球者驱赶到文班亚马的防区。这已经是福克斯连续两场在生死战中表现出色，这对圣安东尼奥的下一轮系列赛是个好兆头。
评分： A
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)
30分钟，32分，11篮板，6助攻，2失误，2犯规，16投11中，三分7投5中，正负值+28
这可能是卡斯尔职业生涯至今最出色的季后赛表现。他早早地奠定了基调，在第一节就砍下14分。森林狼队尝试用鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert) 来对位防守卡斯尔，试图让戈贝尔在防守端游离扫荡以寻求盖帽。但这并没有奏效。卡斯尔依然能随心所欲地杀入禁区，并且让戈贝尔为缩在内线的防守付出了代价，三分球7投5中。
在整个季后赛期间，卡斯尔一直扮演着马刺队“执行者”的角色。他在收官战中将自己的意志强加于森林狼队，以此结束这轮系列赛，实在是再合适不过了。
评分： A+
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie)
26分钟，18分，5篮板，2助攻，2抢断，3犯规，10投5中，三分9投4中，正负值+35
尚帕尼在本场比赛中的正负值达到了惊人的+35。他的无球防守非常出色，多次切入传球路线完成抢断。他命中了极具杀伤力的三分球（包括一记就在亚历克斯·罗德里格斯 (Alex Rodriguez) 面前投进的球），并在人堆中完成了一次漂亮的篮下终结。尚帕尼一直在做争冠球队对角色球员的要求——命中投篮并做好防守。
评分： A
德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell)
27分钟，11分，5篮板，4助攻，1盖帽，1失误，3犯规，10投4中，三分7投3中，正负值+14
在马刺队于第二节和第三节打出进攻高潮时，瓦塞尔命中了及时的投篮。在季后赛大部分时间三分手感冰凉之后，看到他的一些远投开始入网是非常令人欣慰的。他在本轮系列赛中防守安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 的努力值得称赞。那是一个非常艰巨的对位任务，而他经受住了考验。这对马刺队来说是个好迹象，因为在西部决赛中，他们很可能需要他花时间去防守谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)。
评分： B
迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)
26分钟，15分，5篮板，2助攻，1盖帽，3失误，2犯规，8投6中，三分3投1中，正负值+16
哈珀继续在防守端大放异彩。他非常强壮且运动能力出色，他的积极性远高于许多同龄后卫。他在领防端的干扰和抢下强力篮板是他在本系列赛中最具影响力的表现。在进攻端，他正在成长为联盟中最具潜力的年轻得分手之一。他能以各种方式在篮下完成终结——无论是顶着对抗、在盖帽手头顶，还是给球加点旋转绕过防守。周五的哈珀表现得非常棒，未来他将成为一名非常特别的球员。
评分： A–
凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)
10分钟，2助攻，2失误，1犯规，2投0中，正负值-8
这不是约翰逊表现最好的夜晚。在第二节出现了一些糟糕的有球和无球防守后，他被按在了替补席上。拥有出色运动能力和臂展的球队对他来说是个艰难的对位。我们将看看他能否在对阵雷霆时扭转局面。
评分： C
卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet)
14分钟，6分，6篮板，1助攻，4盖帽，1失误，4犯规，3投2中，正负值+8
科内特在周五的护筐表现非常出色。他的位置感很好，并且多次干扰投篮，阻止了森林狼队在篮下得分。他将成为西部决赛中非常重要的一员。雷霆队拥有像以赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein) 这样高大强壮的中锋，科内特需要在内线与其周旋。
评分： B+
哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)
7分钟，3分，4篮板，2助攻，3投1中，三分3投1中，正负值+7
巴恩斯在第四节打了一些有趣的比赛时间。他投进了一个底角三分，并且在篮板争抢上很积极。他在季后赛中基本上已经跌出了轮换阵容。我们将看看他在下一轮对阵雷霆的比赛中是否还有一席之地。
评分： B
卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant)
13分钟，3分，6篮板，1助攻，3投1中，三分1投0中，正负值+16
布莱恩特替补登场后的活力令人难以置信。他是第二节打出进攻高潮并建立巨大领先优势的重要功臣。他在防守爱德华兹时的表现非常棒。他身体强壮、速度快且臂展长，能给对方后卫带来极大的困扰。他仍需在防守位置感上有所提高，有时在防持球时会用力过猛，但他的积极性和运动能力弥补了这些失误。当他把这些特质融合在一起时，他将成为一名优秀的球员。
评分： B+
乔丹·麦克劳林 (Jordan McLaughlin)
8分钟，2分，1篮板，1助攻，1投1中，正负值-3
麦克劳林在第四节完成了一个漂亮的横扫挑篮。在垃圾时间看他打球总是很有趣。
评分： B
林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III)
8分钟，2分，1篮板，1助攻，3投1中，三分1投0中，正负值-3
沃特斯在第四节成了后门切入的威胁。他在空切甩开防守人后完成了一次上篮。
评分： B
凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk)
8分钟，3分，4篮板，1助攻，1失误，4投1中，三分2投1中，正负值-3
第四节是奥利尼克的“乱投”时间。他投进了一个不错的三分，并在篮板球上表现积极。
评分： B
俾斯麦·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo)
7分钟，2分，2盖帽，1失误，1犯规，2投1中，正负值-5
比永博贡献了一些稳健的防守，扇飞了两个球。他用一个漂亮的左手小勾手拿到了自己的2分。
评分： B
梅森·普拉姆利 (Mason Plumlee)
5分钟，2分，2篮板，1失误，1犯规，2投1中，正负值-3
普拉姆利完成了一个反手扣篮？这是他作为马刺球员的最佳进球吗？

Spurs vs. Timberwolves player grades: Stephon Castle shines in series clencher
The San Antonio Spurs are 2-0 in elimination games this postseason. The Silver and Black smacked the Minnesota Timberwolves 139-109 in Game 6 to secure a spot in the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2017. In a series that felt incredibly close through all six games, the Spurs won three games by 29 points or more. Now they’ll get a chance to play the Oklahoma City Thunder with an NBA Finals appearance on the line.
The Spurs got a full-team effort in the victory. All but one player who logged a minute got a bucket, and six players scored double digits. They were led by Stephon Castle, who had his best game of the playoffs so far. They’ll need similar performances in the next round, where they will be underdogs for the first time this postseason. The Thunder are -260 favorites to win the Western Conference on FanDuel.
Since the Spurs won an elimination game, these player grades will be on a curve. As a quick reminder, player 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
27 minutes, 19 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, 4 turnovers, 3 fouls, 6-for-11 shooting, 0-for-2 threes, +25
Wembanyama didn’t need to carry the weight offensively thanks to the all-around performance of his teammates. Still, he was super efficient, mainly taking shots inside the paint, scoring over the top of the Wolves on lobs or put-backs. He had a good whistle on Friday, as he got to the line 9 times, converting 7 free throws.
Defensively, it was the same story as it has been all series. He took away a lot of looks in the paint, and almost every floater or mid-range jumper outside of it. Minnesota never found any answers for Wemby in this series, and that’s a big part of why the Spurs won it.
Grade: A
De’Aaron Fox
24 minutes, 21 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 blocks, 1 turnover, 1 foul, 8-for-10 shooting, 3-for-3 threes, +26
This was Fox’s best game of the series. He was in total control from tip-off. He got to his spots with ease and scored at will in the paint. His three-point jumper was finally working. Maybe it was because he was left wide open by the Wolves on most of his three attempts. Got to his spots and hit shots. He continued to be a strong point defensively, funneling Minnesota’s ball-handlers into Wembanyama. This is two straight elimination games where Fox has played well, which is a good sign for San Antonio’s next series.
Grade: A
Stephon Castle
*30 minutes, 32 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 turnovers, 2 fouls, 11-for-16 shooting, 5-for-7 threes, +*28
This might have been the best game of Castle’s playoff career. He set the tone early, scoring 14 first-quarter points. The Wolves came out guarding Castle with Gobert in an effort to get him roaming for blocks on defense. It did not work. Castle still got into the paint when he wanted, and he made Gobert pay for sagging off of him, making 5-for-7 of his three-pointers.
Castle has kind of been the enforcer for the Spurs throughout the playoffs. It’s fitting that he closed it out by enforcing his will on the Wolves.
Grade: A+
Julian Champagnie
26 minutes, 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 3 fouls, 5-for-10 shooting, 4-for-9 threes, +35
Champagnie was an eye-popping +35 in this game. His defense off the ball was fantastic, as he got into the passing lanes for steals. He hit devastating shots from three (including one right in front of Alex Rodriguez) and got to the rim for a sweet finish in traffic. Champagnie has been doing exactly what contenders need from their role players – hit shots and defend well.
Grade: A
Devin Vassell
27 minutes, 11 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, 1 turnover, 3 fouls, 4-for-10 shooting, 3-for-7 threes, +14
Vassell hit timely shots as the Spurs were making their large runs in the second and third quarters. It’s great to see some of his threes start to fall after going so cold from deep for most of the playoffs. He should be commended for his efforts guarding Anthony Edwards in this series. That was a very difficult matchup, and he rose to the test. It bodes well for the Spurs, who will likely need him to spend some time guarding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the WCF.
Grade: B
Dylan Harper
26 minutes, 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 3 turnovers, 2 fouls, 6-for-8 shooting, 1-for-3 threes, +16
Harper continues to thrive as a defender. He’s so strong and athletic, and his motor is much higher than a lot of guards his age. Guarding at the point of attack and grabbing contested rebounds were some of the most impactful things he did in this series. On the other end, he is developing into one of the league’s most promising young scorers. He can just finish in the rim in a variety of ways – through contact, over the top of shot blockers, or putting English on the ball to get it around the defense. Harper was fantastic on Friday and is going to be a very special player moving forward.
Grade: A–
Keldon Johnson
10 minutes, 2 assists, 2 turnovers, 1 foul, 0-for-2 shooting, -8
It wasn’t Johnson’s best night. He was benched after some poor on- and off-ball defense in the second quarter. Teams with athleticism and length are a tough matchup for him. We’ll see if he can turn things around against OKC.
Grade: C
Luke Kornet
14 minutes, 6 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 blocks, 1 turnover, 4 fouls, 2-for-3 shooting, +8
Kornet was excellent at protecting the rim on Friday. He was in the right places positionally and got his hands on enough balls to stop the Wolves from scoring at the basket. He becomes a very important player for the WCF. The Thunder have big, physical centers like Isaiah Hartenstein, who Kornet will need to contend with inside.
Grade: B+
Harrison Barnes
7 minutes, 3 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1-for-3 shooting, 1-for-3 threes, +7
Barnes played some fun minutes in the fourth quarter. He knocked down a corner 3 and was active on the glass. He’s largely been out of the rotation in the playoffs. We’ll see if he has a role in the next round against OKC.
Grade: B
Carter Bryant
13 minutes, 3 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1-for-3 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, +16
Bryant’s energy was incredible off the bench. He was a big part of the second-quarter run that built a big lead. His defensive effort on Edwards was great. He’s so physical, fast, and long that he can really pester opposing guards. He still needs to work on being better positionally, and he can overplay on the ball, but the effort and athleticism make up for those mistakes. He’s going to be a quality player when he puts it all together.
Grade: B+
Jordan McLaughlin
8 minutes, 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1-for-1 shooting, -3
McLaughlin made an awesome sweeping scoop layup in the fourth quarter. It’s always fun to watch him hoop in garbage time.
Grade: B
Lindy Waters III
8 minutes, 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1-for-3 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, -3
Waters was a back-cutting menace in the fourth quarter. He got one layup to go after beating his defender back door.
Grade: B
Kelly Olynyk
8 minutes, 3 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 1-for-4 shooting, 1-for-2 threes, -3
It was chucking time for Olynyk in the fourth. He hit a nice three and was active on the boards.
Grade: B
Bismack Biyombo
7 minutes, 2 points, 2 blocks, 1 turnover, 1 foul, 1-for-2 shooting, -5
Biyombo plays some solid defense, swatting away two balls. He had a sweet lefty jump hook for his two points.
Grade: B
Mason Plumlee
5 minutes, 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 turnover, 1 foul, 1-for-2 shooting, -3
Plumlee had a reverse dunk? Best play as a Spur?
Grade: B
