圣安东尼奥——在周日进行的系列赛第四场（G4）开局八分钟多钟的时间里，俄克拉荷马城雷霆队唯一的进攻得分来源，竟然是中锋以赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein) 的一连串抛投。
随着哈尔滕施泰因手感降温，在圣安东尼奥马刺队令人窒息的防守面前，雷霆队的其他球员无一能够找到节奏。
最终，雷霆以 82-103惨败。西部决赛的大比分因此被扳成2-2平，双方将于周二移师俄克拉荷马城进行第五场（G5）对决。
“他们一上来就给了我们迎头痛击，”雷霆超级巨星谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 说道，他本场15投6中得到19分。“我认为他们展现出了极强的侵略性。他们贴身防守我们——逼迫我们失误，不断上身体对抗。”
对于雷霆而言，这是他们多年来最糟糕的进攻表现。由于杰伦·威廉姆斯 (Jalen Williams)（左大腿后侧肌群酸痛）和阿杰伊·米切尔 (Ajay Mitchell)（右小腿拉伤）因伤缺阵，雷霆失去了三名核心进攻创造者中的两位。雷霆上一次在单场比赛中得分低于82分还要追溯到2021年12月2日，当时正处于重建期的雷霆仅得79分，并在那场创纪录的比赛中以73分的巨大分差惨败给孟菲斯灰熊队。
雷霆在周日的得分，创下了自2013年以来常规赛联盟第一球队在季后赛中的单场最低得分纪录。2013年总决赛第三场（G3）中，马刺曾将迈阿密热火队的得分限制在77分。
雷霆本场的投篮表现堪称灾难（投篮命中率仅为33%，三分命中率18.2%），同时他们在控制球方面也显得非常粗心，出现了20次失误，被马刺借此转化为了25分。
“我认为我们今晚在进攻端的表现有很多需要改进的地方，”雷霆主教练马克·戴格诺特 (Mark Daigneault) 说道。“我们缺乏撕开对手防线所需的锐度、力量和精准度。他们的防守做得非常好，无论是能量感还是对抗强度都无懈可击。”
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 再次在防守端展现出统治力，他送出了3次盖帽，其中包括在开场阶段对切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 一次扣篮尝试的精彩封盖。不过，马刺后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 凭借对吉尔杰斯-亚历山大窒息般的外线防守奠定了比赛基调，后者在马刺重兵看防的防守策略下难以找到节奏。
吉尔杰斯-亚历山大的15次运动战出手，除了一次之外全部受到了防守干扰。他在进攻中先后面对过八名不同的马刺防守球员，但卡斯尔承担了主要的防守任务。在防守这位两届MVP得主时，卡斯尔将其限制到仅有6投2中。吉尔杰斯-亚历山大还出现了4次失误，而他的队友接其传球后的投篮也仅有18投7中。

“虽然我们的两位持球手、进攻创造者缺阵了，但大家在无球端的表现都很棒，而且我们今年在没有纯持球手的情况下也打了不少比赛，”吉尔杰斯-亚历山大说道。“所以，我们对此其实有些习惯了。但我的意思是，无论如何，我认为这只是一种滚雪球效应。当你带着正确的能量感上场时，这些问题都会迎刃而解，进攻也会变得流畅。而我认为我们今天上场时并没有展现出应有的能量感。”
霍姆格伦在赛前得知自己入选了 最佳阵容第三阵，但他在进攻端几乎毫无存在感。他全场8投3中仅得10分，失误次数和进球数一样多。
在雷霆横扫前两轮的比赛中，霍姆格伦在进攻端表现出色，在对阵菲尼克斯太阳队和洛杉矶湖人队时，他场均可以贡献18.6分，投篮命中率高达60%。然而，在面对文班亚马和马刺队时，他却打得十分挣扎，在本轮系列赛中场均仅得到11.3分，投篮命中率降至46.9%。
“我们必须彼此信任，”霍姆格伦说道。“我们必须互相配合来寻找对手防线的破绽，帮助彼此获得好的出机会。如果有一两个球没投进，我们不能因此失去信任。”

Thunder held to worst offensive effort in years in Game 4 loss
SAN ANTONIO – More than eight minutes into Sunday’s Game 4, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s only source of offensive production was a series of floaters by center Isaiah Hartenstein.
Hartenstein cooled off, and none of the other Oklahoma City players got rolling against the smothering San Antonio Spurs defense.
The result was a 103-82 loss, evening the Western Conference finals at 2-2 as the series shifts back to Oklahoma City for Game 5 on Tuesday.
“They just punched us in our face early,” said Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who finished with 19 points on 6-of-15 shooting. “I think they just did a good job of being the aggressors. They were in us – forcing turnovers, being physical.”
It was the worst offensive performance in years for the Thunder, who were missing two of their top three creators with Jalen Williams (left hamstring soreness) and Ajay Mitchell (right calf strain) sidelined by injuries. Oklahoma City last scored fewer than 82 points in a game on Dec. 2, 2021, when the then-rebuilding Thunder were held to 79 points in a record-setting 73-point loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Thunder’s output Sunday was the lowest-scoring playoff performance by a team that had the NBA’s best record that season since 2013, when the Spurs held the Miami Heat to 77 points in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
The Thunder had a horrific shooting performance (33% from the floor, 18.2% from 3-point range) and were sloppy with the ball, committing 20 turnovers that the Spurs converted into 25 points.
“I thought we left a lot to be desired on that end of the floor tonight,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. “We didn’t have the sharpness, force or precision necessary to crack them. They were really good defensively. Just their energy, their physicality.”
Victor Wembanyama, who was unanimously voted Defensive Player of the Year, was once again a dominant force on that end of the floor, blocking three shots, including a spectacular rejection of a Chet Holmgren dunk attempt in the opening minutes of the game. But San Antonio guard Stephon Castle set the tone with his lockdown perimeter defense on Gilgeous-Alexander, who struggled to find a rhythm with the Spurs’ defense loaded up on him.
All but one of Gilgeous-Alexander’s 15 field goal attempts were contested. He ran plays against eight different San Antonio defenders, but Castle had the primary assignment, holding Gilgeous-Alexander to 2-of-6 shooting when he guarded the two-time MVP. Gilgeous-Alexander committed four turnovers, and his teammates shot only 7-of-18 off his passes.

“Two of our handlers, our creators are out, but guys are good off the ball, and we played a fair amount of games this year with no handlers,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “So, we’re a little bit used to that. But I mean, regardless, I think it’s just a snowball effect. I think when you come out with the right energy, things like that work out and the offense has flow. And I don’t think we came out with the right energy today.”
Holmgren, who learned pregame that he was a third-team All-NBA selection, was a nonfactor offensively. He scored 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting and had as many turnovers as buckets.
Holmgren excelled offensively as the Thunder swept the first two rounds, averaging 18.6 points while shooting 60% from the floor against the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers. He has struggled against Wembanyama and the Spurs, averaging 11.3 points and shooting 46.9% from the floor in this series.
“We have to trust each other,” Holmgren said. “We have to use each other to help find cracks, help get good looks. If one or two don’t go down, we can’t lose trust.”
