这仅仅是西部决赛的第一场比赛，但它已成为联盟历史上最伟大的季后赛对决之一。马刺在缺少老将控卫达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 的情况下，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)、迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 几乎打满了 49 分钟。文班亚马砍下 41 分 24 篮板，哈珀在第二个加时赛中贡献了不可思议的表现，帮助球队锁定胜局。卡斯尔在失误方面经历了一个艰难的夜晚，全场失误达 11 次，但在防守端贡献了关键表现。马刺成功限制了新科 MVP，但亚历克斯·卡鲁索 (Alex Caruso) 表现惊人，砍下 31 分并完成一系列精彩防守，数次将雷霆从失败边缘拉回。对于银黑军团来说，这是一个伟大的夜晚，他们证明了自己属于总决赛舞台，并从卫冕冠军手中抢走了主场优势。
赛后观察
- 听到达龙·福克斯因脚踝受伤缺阵的消息时，我感到非常失望。我认为哈珀很棒，但马刺最大的优势（除了那个男人之外）在于他们拥有三名精英后卫，这样全场比赛至少能保证有两人在场。如果打大阵容，凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 可能会扮演更重要的角色，今晚我们甚至可能看到乔丹·麦克劳林 (Jordan McLaughlin) 和/或林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III) 的零星上场时间。
- 马刺以 7-0 强势开局，让俄克拉荷马城的球迷在开赛前 3 分 15 秒一直站着观战，迫使马克·戴格诺特 (Mark Daigneault) 换上卡鲁索。卡鲁索不负众望投中三分，才让主场球迷终于坐下。
- 马刺在开场时进攻极具侵略性，早早造成雷霆犯规，令现场球迷颇为不满。
- 在首节其他人表现平平的情况下，卡鲁索确实提振了球队。他不是场上运动能力最强或最有天赋的球员，但没人比他打得更有斗志。我本想讨厌他，但我做不到。
- 卡鲁索开场的活力帮助雷霆度过了难关，直到其他首发球员找回状态。雷霆曾短暂领先，但银黑军团在首节末段奋起反击，双方以 27 平结束第一节。
- 第一节末段出现了一点小状况，切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 被卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 犯规并撞到了篮架底座。幸运的是没人受伤，这只是科内特的一次普通犯规。
- 卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 拥有一种令人惊叹的、能随比赛进程不断进步的能力。在前两轮中，他最大的弱点是在防守端过快领到犯规。他正在实战中调整，上半场他仅领到一次犯规，并展现了密不透风的防守。
- 雷霆的防守成功干扰了马刺的进攻，在上半场迫使对方产生 8 次失误，但马刺的防守同样出色。半场结束时，马刺以 51-44 领先，他们成功限制了除卡鲁索以外的所有雷霆球员。
- 雷霆在第三节开局更有活力，迫使卡斯尔出现八秒违例，随后吕冈茨·多特 (Lu Dort) 获得空位三分机会，帮助俄克拉荷马城以 58-57 反超。雷霆凭借一波 14-6 的攻势夺回领先地位。
- 米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 对哈珀丢掉那个导致多特进球的篮板颇有微词，但哈珀随后通过关键表现弥补了过失，帮助马刺在第三节重新取得领先。在福克斯缺阵的情况下，他和卡斯尔不得不承担额外的出场时间，这让他们很难保持体能，但这正是他被带到马刺的原因。
- 尽管卡鲁索在节末投进了一记及时的三分，但马刺在三节结束时仍以 80-73 领先。
- 卡斯尔是一名出色的球员，但他唯一的弱点是控球技术并非顶级，在面对极具侵略性的包夹时容易失误。看起来约翰逊在下半场做出了调整，让哈珀更多地带球过半场。
- 马刺整场比赛都在轮番派人防守谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)，但无法完全限制他。他在比赛还剩 5 分钟时完成了一次关键的“2+1”，将分差缩小到 5 分。马刺试图收割比赛，而雷霆则竭尽全力反扑。
- 文班亚马在比赛还剩两分钟时出现了一次令人费解的犯规，他撞倒了卡鲁索，导致了一次毫无意义的录像回放。我爱这个大家伙，但他并不总是打得很聪明。卡鲁索在随后的进攻中命中三分，在比赛还剩不到两分钟时帮助雷霆反超。
- 朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 和杰伦·威廉姆斯 (Jalen Williams) 互换进球将比分扳成 97 平。随后哈珀上演了不可思议的一幕，他两次丢球又两次抢回，并造成犯规。他在比赛还剩 34 秒时两罚全中，帮助马刺领先 2 分。
- 戴格诺特布置了一系列精彩的战术，确保雷霆获得足够的出手权来回应马刺。随着两队在最后一分钟各得 4 分，比赛以 101 平进入加时。银黑军团本有机会在常规时间赢下比赛，但雷霆的干扰恰到好处，让霍姆格伦及时到位封盖了投篮。
- 第一个加时赛简直疯狂，两队接连打出精彩表现。文班亚马在还剩 26 秒时投中了一记疯狂的 28 英尺彩虹球，将比分扳成 108 平。亚历山大试图绝杀但投篮偏出，哈珀在还剩 0.7 秒时抢到篮板。卡鲁索破坏了空接尝试，比赛进入了令人惊叹的第二个加时。
- 哈珀在第二个加时赛中做出了关键贡献，他顶着两次面部被击打的防守强行突破并获得罚球，帮助马刺领先 4 分。比赛在还剩 20 秒时由文班亚马的空接扣篮锁定胜局，马刺以 120-114 领先。几秒后德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 的盖帽锦上添花，最终马刺以 122-115 获胜。
下场预告
马刺将于周三晚上 7:30 在佩康中心 (Paycom Center) 与雷霆进行系列赛第二场较量。比赛将继续由 NBC/Peacock 进行转播，西部决赛的所有剩余比赛也是如此，而东部决赛将在 ESPN/ABC 播出。

San Antonio at Oklahoma, Final Score: Spurs steal homecourt with 122-115 double overtime win over the Thunder
This is just the first game of the Western Conference Finals, but it’s one of the greatest playoff games in the history of the league. The Spurs, without the services of their veteran point guard De’Aaron Fox got almost 49 minutes from Victor Wembanyama, Dylan Harper, and Stephon Castle. Victor scored 41 points with 24 rebounds and Harper had incredible plays in the second overtime to help ice the game. Castle had a tough night with turnovers, losing 11, but had key plays on defense as the Spurs kept newly crowned MVP under control, but brought to the precipice of defeat several times with an incredible night from Alex Caruso, who almost took back the game for the Thunder with a 31 point effort and a series of spectacular defensive plays. It was a great night for the Silver and Black as they showed they belong in the finals and stole home court advantage from the defending champs.
Observations
- It was a big disappointment when I found out that De’Aaron Fox had to sit out with an ankle injury. I think that Dylan Harper is great, but the biggest strength of the Spurs (besides that one guy) is that they have three elite guards so that at least two of them can be on the floor the whole game. It could be a bigger role for Keldon Johnson if they play a little bigger, and maybe we could even see some Jordan McLaughlin and/or Lindy Waters III minutes in spot duty tonight.
- The Spurs jumped out to a quick 7-0 start, keeping the OKC fans standing for the first 3:15 of gametime, forcing Daigneault to bring Alex Caruso. Caruso obliged by hitting a three, allowing the OKC fans to finally take a seat.
- The Spurs were aggressive on offense to start the game, and drew early fouls on the Thunder to the dismay of the fans in the arena.
- Caruso really lifted up the team in the first quarter when nobody else was doing much. He’s not the most athletic or talented guy on the court, but nobody plays with more heart. I want to dislike him, but I can’t.
- Caruso’s energy to start the game tided the Thunder over until the other starters shook off the rust, and the Thunder took the lead briefly, with the Silver and Black fighting back late, with the score was tied at 27 each at the end of the the first period.
- There was a bit of drama late in the first quarter as Holmgren was fouled by Kornet and bounced into the stanchion. Luckily, no one was injured and it was just a common foul by Kornet.
- Carter Bryant has this amazing ability to improve from game to game. In the first two rounds, his biggest weakness was picking up quick fouls on defense. He’s adjusting on the fly, and he was able to play shutdown defense with only one foul in the first half.
- The Thunder defense was successful at disrupting the Spurs offense, forcing 8 turnovers in the first half, but he Spurs defense was also performing, and the Spurs led 51-44 at the half as they kept every Thunder player besides Caruso under control.
- The Thunder started the third with more energy and forced an eight second call on Stephon Castle, which led to Lu Dort getting a wide open look at a three point shot to put OKC up 58-57, capping off a 14-6 OKC run to retake the lead.
- Mitch Johnson had words for Harper for giving up the rebound that led to Dort’s shot, but he made up for the mistake by making key plays as the Spurs retook the lead in the third. The extra minutes that he and Castle had to play with Fox out made it hard to keep up the effort, but that’s what he was brought to the Spurs to do.
- The Spur fought back and led 80-73 with a quarter to play, despite a timely late triple from Caruso.
- Stephon Castle is an amazing player, but he one weakness is that he doesn’t have an elite handle, and he can be made to turn over the ball by aggressive double teams. It looked like Mitch made an adjustment in the second half by having Harper bring the ball up court more often.
- The Spurs threw multiple players at Shai Gilgeous-Alexander the whole game, but he could not be completely stopped, and he made a key and-one with 5 minutes to bring the Thunder within 5 points. The Spurs were trying to steal the game, and the Thunder were doing everything they could to steal it back.
- Wembanyama made a head scratcher foul with two minutes left, bowling over Caruso, which caused another pointless video review. I love the guy, but he doesn’t always play smart. Caruso made a triple on the return trip to give the Thunder the lead with just under two minutes left in the game.
- Julian Champagnie and Jalen Williams exchanged buckets to tie the game up at 97, leading up to an incredible sequence from Dylan Harper where he lost the basketball twice and recovered it to draw a foul. He hit both shots to give the Spurs a 2 point lead with 34 seconds left.
- Daigneault drew up an incredible series of plays to keep the Thunder get just enough shots to counter the Spurs, and with both teams scoring 4 points in the final minute, the game went to overtime 101-101. The Silver and Black had a chance to win it in regulation, but the Thunder disrupted him just enough for Holmgren to get into position to block his shot.
- The overtime session was insane, as each team made incredible play after incredible play, and Wembanyama tied it up at 108 with 26 seconds left with a crazy 28 foot rainbow shot. SGA tried to take the lead but missed the shot with Harper getting the rebound with .7 seconds left. Caruso erased the lob attempt and the game went to an incredible second overtime session.
- Harper made the key play of the second overtime, with a drive to the basket and a free throw after getting clobbered in the face twice to give the Spurs a 4 point lead. The game was iced with a Wembanyama Alley Oop with 20 seconds left to put the Spurs up 120-114, with Devin Vassell’s block a few seconds later as the cherry on top, as the Spurs won 122-115.
Up next
The Spurs will play game 2 against the Thunder Wednesday at 7:30 PM in the Paycom Center. The game will be broadcast on NBC/Peacock again, as will all the remaining games in the Western Conference Finals, while the Eastern Conference Finals will be on ESPN/ABC.
