在总决赛的大部分时间里，圣安东尼奥马刺队似乎都找到了限制纽约尼克斯队的方法。马刺队屡屡建立起两位数的领先优势，却总是在比赛的最后几分钟崩盘，眼睁睁看着纽约抢走胜利。周六晚上，这一剧本再次上演。
面临被淘汰的境地，并试图从G4的历史性惨败的阴影中走出来，马刺队一度领先多达16分，看起来已经准备好将系列赛带回纽约。然而，尼克斯队却给了马刺队的希望致命一击。
杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 狂砍45分，率领纽约尼克斯队再次从两位数的落后中逆转，以94-90击败马刺队，夺得队史自1973年以来的首个NBA总冠军，并在马刺队的主场霜银中心亲手终结了对手的赛季。
“我们还没有做好赢得NBA总冠军的准备，更好的球队赢了。我们做了很多好的尝试，但没能完成最后的工作，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道。
在前三节比赛中，马刺队掌控了比赛节奏。他们的防守让纽约陷入挣扎，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 送出5次盖帽镇守禁区，现场由马刺球迷以及数千名尼克斯球迷组成的观众群，都觉得不可能的事情或许会变成可能。直到布伦森接管了比赛。
这位尼克斯球星不断蚕食圣安东尼奥的领先优势，一次又一次地将球送入篮筐。随着时间流逝，马刺队的优势荡然无存，拉里·奥布莱恩杯几乎已经触手可及。就像整个系列赛所表现的那样，圣安东尼奥的进攻在最关键的时刻再次陷入停滞。
马刺队在第四节被对手打出29-18的比分，在比赛最后阶段难以组织起持续的进攻。达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 合计25投仅4中，仅得到13分，这让圣安东尼奥在比赛的最后时刻显得无计可施。
“这很难受，非常痛苦，非常刺痛，”马刺队前锋德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 说道。“现在，看着他们在我们的主场冲进球场庆祝，这真的很艰难。我们知道我们会竭尽全力、拼尽一切，重新回到这个位置。”
文班亚马全场贡献19分、14个篮板和5次盖帽，在今晚的大部分时间里都在攻防两端影响着比赛。迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 替补出场砍下25分，延续了他在这轮季后赛中的爆发表现，在阿拉莫城这个黯然神伤的夜晚，为马刺队的未来带来了一线曙光。
当终场哨声响起，尼克斯队的球员们在球场中央尽情庆祝，而马刺队的球员们则默默走向更衣室，去消化他们离胜利曾有多么接近的遗憾。纽约以4-1的总比分赢得了系列赛，布伦森凭借在夺冠之夜的又一次杰出表现，荣膺总决赛MVP。
“我学到的众多事情之一就是，容错空间非常、非常小，”当被问及从今年的季后赛之旅中学到了什么时，文班亚马说道。“在系列赛的大部分时间里，我们绝对、绝对占据了统治地位，但我们的失误付出了极其惨痛的代价。”
这场失利将让马刺队痛心很久，他们在系列赛中输掉了全部三个主场，并眼睁睁看着G4和G5的领先优势化为乌有。然而，在心碎之余，马刺队也收获了无价之宝：证明了他们的未来比预期来得更快。
这是该队自2014年以来首次重返NBA总决赛，由文班亚马、卡斯尔、哈珀和福克斯组成的年轻核心领衔。他们距离总冠军仅差两场胜利，并且在季后赛的大部分时间里，他们看起来都像是一支未来多年都极具竞争力的球队。
结局属于纽约。
然而，圣安东尼奥的未来依然一片光明。
比赛观察
- 在这个系列赛中，霜银中心并没有给马刺队带来主场优势，因为远道而来的大批尼克斯球迷在人数上完全压倒了马刺球迷。
- 迪伦·哈珀在未来的许多年里都将肆虐NBA的防线。
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔今年夏天需要泡在训练馆里，好好磨练他的中距离投篮。他的防守已经无可挑剔。
- 我完全期待马刺队在今年夏天续约朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie)，这是他应得的。

Spurs’ season ends with Game 5 loss to Knicks in NBA Finals
For the majority of the NBA Finals, it looked like the San Antonio Spurs had found an answer to slowing down the New York Knicks, the Spurs had built double-digit leads only to collapse in the game’s final minutes to see New York grab the win. That formula was the same on Saturday night.
Facing elimination and trying to get over the sting of a historic loss in Game 4, the Spurs led by as many as 16 points and appeared like they were getting ready to send the series back to New York. Instead, the Knicks delivered one final blow to the Spurs’ hopes.
Jalen Brunson scored 45 points as he powered New York to rally from another double digit deficit to defeat the Spurs 94-90 to capture the franchise’s first NBA championship since 1973 and end the season on the Spurs’ own home floor at the Frost Bank Center.
“We weren’t ready to win an NBA championship, better team won, we did a lot of good things, and we didn’t finish the job,” Spurs Head Coach Mitch Johnson said.
For three quarters, the Spurs controlled the pace of the game. Their defense frustrated New York, Victor Wembanyama protected the rim with five blocks, and the crowd — made up of Spurs fans as well as thousands of Knicks fans — felt like the impossible could be possible. That was until Brunson took over.
The Knicks’ star chipped away at San Antonio’s lead, getting bucket after bucket. As the time came off the clock, the Spurs’ advantage was gone and the Larry O’Brien trophy was nearly in his reach. Just as it had done all series, San Antonio’s offense stalled when it mattered most.
The Spurs were outscored 29-18 in the fourth quarter and struggled to generate consistent offense down the stretch. De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle combined for 13 points on 4-for-25 shooting and left San Antonio searching for more answers in the game’s final moments.
“It’s tough, it hurts a lot, it stings a lot,” Spurs forward Devin Vassell said. “Right now, seeing them storming the court on our home court, it’s tough. We know we’ll do everything we can, scratch fight to get back into this position.”
Wembanyama finished with 19 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks, impacting the game on both ends for most of the evening. Dylan Harper continued his breakout postseason with 25 points off the bench, providing a glimmer of hope for the Spurs’ future in a gloomy night in the Alamo City.
When the final buzzer sounded, Knicks players celebrated at center court while Spurs players headed to the locker room to process how close they had come. New York won the series 4-1, with Brunson earning Finals MVP honors after another standout performance in the championship-clinching victory.
“One of many things I learned is the margin of error is very, very thin,” Wembanyama said when asked what he learned from this year’s postseason run. “We absolutely, absolutely dominated for most of the series, but our mistakes are punished so hard.”
The loss will sting for a long time for the Spurs, who lost all three home games in the series and watched two leads disappear in Games 4 and 5. However, amid the heartbreak, the Spurs also gained something invaluable: proof that their future has arrived sooner than expected.
This was the franchise’s first trip back to the NBA Finals since 2014, led by a young core of Wembanyama, Castle, Harper, and Fox. They ended the season just two wins shy of a championship and spent much of the postseason looking like a team built to contend for years to come.
The ending belonged to New York.
The future, however, still looks bright in San Antonio.
Game Notes
- The Frost Bank Center was not a home court advantage for the Spurs in this series as Spurs fans were severely outnumbered by the large group of Knicks fans that made the trip.
- Dylan Harper is going to terrorize NBA defenses for years to come.
- Stephon Castle needs to get into the gym and work on his midrange game this summer. He’s already got the defense locked up.
- I fully expect the Spurs to extend Julian Champagnie this summer and he’s more than earned it.
