2026 年 5 月 18 日，周一，在俄克拉荷马城佩科姆中心举行的西部决赛第一场比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) (2) 越过俄克拉荷马城雷霆队后卫阿杰·米切尔 (Ajay Mitchell) (25) 上篮。马刺队经过双加时以 122-115 击败雷霆队。
俄克拉荷马城 —— 迪阿伦·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 因右踝酸痛被迫缺席了周一晚上马刺以 122-115 双加时战胜俄克拉荷马城的比赛，这可能会成为这位全明星后卫在整个西部决赛期间的隐患。
“我认为只要我们还在打比赛，这种情况就不会消失，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 在赛前表示。
对马刺队来说幸运的是，他们拥有一份可靠的保险，那就是新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)。
在马刺队于赛前热身结束后宣布福克斯缺阵后，这位去年 6 月选秀大会的榜眼秀获得了职业生涯首次季后赛首发机会。他在 47 分钟的登场时间里砍下 24 分、11 个篮板和 6 次助攻。他还贡献了 7 次抢断，成为 NBA 季后赛历史上首位单场拿到 20+得分、10+篮板、5+助攻和 7+抢断的新秀。
“他的表现是现象级的，”约翰逊说道。
哈珀表示，在跳球前一小时得知自己将顶替福克斯首发时，他并没有感到紧张。在本场比赛之前，福克斯场均出战全队最高的 33.3 分钟，贡献 18.8 分和 5.8 次助攻。
“像对待其他比赛一样对待它，”哈珀在谈到他职业生涯至今最重要的一场比赛的心态时说道，“我的心态就是做回自己。我试着保持积极主动，而不是处于被动。这是最关键的一点，就是始终保持在进攻模式。”
随着 20 岁的哈珀顶替 28 岁的福克斯首发，马刺队派出了自 1970-71 赛季联盟引入分区赛制以来，分区决赛中最年轻的首发阵容。据马刺电台解说员丹·韦斯 (Dan Weiss) 透露，他们 22 岁 446 天的平均年龄，比比尔·沃顿 (Bill Walton) 率领并夺得 NBA 总冠军的 1976-77 赛季波特兰开拓者队还要年轻 279 天。
“这意义重大，”哈珀在谈到站在如此重大的舞台上首发时表示，“我觉得并不是很多人都能拥有这样的经历，能成为这样一个伟大组织、这样一群优秀队友中的一员。我不想去其他任何地方。我认为这就是我该待的地方，我会继续一步一个脚印走下去。”
凭借 7 次抢断，哈珀成为了队史仅有的五位在季后赛单场贡献 6 次及以上抢断的球员之一。另外四位是阿尔文·罗伯特森 (Alvin Robertson)、艾弗里·约翰逊 (Avery Johnson)、马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginobili) 和科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard)。
“我的 7 次抢断更像是团队努力的结果，”哈珀说，“更多是由于轮转到位，而对我来说，就是出现在正确的位置，让直觉接管比赛。”
在进攻端，哈珀在第二个加时赛中迎来了高光时刻：在比赛还剩 2 分 04 秒时，他在突破中被谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 狠狠击中面部，但他依然打成 2+1，帮助马刺队以 115-111 领先。
“我们会继续战斗，”在马刺队于第二个加时赛打出 14-7 的攻势锁定胜局后，哈珀说道，“这是最重要的信号。显然我们还有一些可以做得更好的地方，但我们一直在战斗、战斗、不停地战斗。”
马刺队后卫迪伦·哈珀被问及是否意识到自己参与了一场经典对决：“没想那么多，我只想赢球。这是我脑子里唯一的事。……我们所有人上场时都抱着这样的心态：如果需要打两个加时，那就加倍努力去赢下来。” pic.twitter.com/S8OGPyfsyM

Why Spurs’ Dylan Harper was in ‘attack mode’ in first playoff start
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (2) lays the ball in over Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (25) during Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Monday, May 18, 2026. The Spurs defeated the Thunder 122-115 in double overtime.
OKLAHOMA CITY — The sore right ankle that forced De’Aaron Fox to sit out the Spurs’ 122-115 double-overtime victory over Oklahoma City on Monday night could be a problem for the All-Star guard throughout the Western Conference finals.
“It’s one of those deals where it’s not going away for as long as we’re playing, I don’t believe,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said before the game.
Fortunately for the Spurs, they have a reliable insurance policy in the form of rookie guard Dylan Harper.
Gaining his first playoff start after the Spurs ruled Fox out after warmups, the No. 2 overall pick of last June’s draft had 24 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in 47 minutes. He also had seven steals to become the first rookie in NBA postseason history to record a game with 20-plus points, 10-plus rebounds, five-plus assists and seven-plus steals.
“He was phenomenal,” Johnson said.
Harper said he didn’t have any jitters after learning an hour before tipoff he would get the start in place of Fox, who was averaging 18.8 points and 5.8 assists in a team-leading 33.3 minutes per game entering Monday’s game.
“Treat it like every other game,” Harper said of his mindset going into the biggest outing of his fledgling pro career. “I had the mindset of just being me. I tried to stay on the forefront and not on my heels. That was the biggest thing. Kind of just being in attack mode at all times.”
With Harper, 20, starting in place of Fox, 28, the Spurs sported the youngest starting five in a conference finals game since 1970-71 when the league introduced its conferences. Their average age of 22 years, 446 days was 279 days younger than the Bill Walton-led 1976-77 Portland Trail Blazers team that won the NBA championship, per Spurs radio voice Dan Weiss.
“It means the world,” Harper said of starting on such a big stage. “I feel like not a lot of people get this experience, just to be part of such a great organization, a great group of guys. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I think this is kind of where I’m supposed to be and I’m just going to keep taking it step by step.”
With his seven steals, Harper became one of just five players in franchise history with six-plus steals in a playoff game. Alvin Robertson, Avery Johnson, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard are the others.
“My seven steals was kind of a team thing,” Harper said. “It was more just rotations, and just for me, being in the right place and just letting my instincts take over.”
On the offensive end, Harper had a big moment in the second OT when he gave the Spurs a 115-111 lead with 2:04 left by sinking a drive and a free throw after he was fouled hard in the face by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
“We’re going to keep fighting,” Harper said after the Spurs outscored the Thunder 14-7 in the second OT to secure the win. “That’s the biggest message. There are obviously lapses where we could have done stuff better, but we kept fighting and fighting and fighting.”
Spurs guard Dylan Harper, on if he realized he was taking part in a classic game: “Nah, I’m just trying to win. That’s the biggest thing on my mind. … We all went in there with the mindset of if it takes two overtimes, let’s double down and win.” pic.twitter.com/S8OGPyfsyM
