On February 26, Beijing time, the Spurs challenged the Wizards, two young teams for the fans to provide an offensive feast, the two teams in the regular time both scored 130 points, the battle until the double overtime barely divided the victory and defeat, and finally the Spurs won slightly 157-153, Kuzma scored 36 points to swallow the defeat. At the beginning of the game, the two sides played back and forth, no one could prevent anyone, from the first quarter the two teams quickly entered the state, the Wizards scored 33 points in the first quarter, but only a 3-point lead. The Wizards' firepower in the second quarter was undiminished, while the Spurs were unreservedly full of firepower, firing 45 points in a single quarter to surpass the Wizards by 4 points, which shows how fierce the game is. In the third and fourth quarters, the two sides played hard, and it was not until the second overtime that the Spurs won the game with a slight lead.
The game was a stage for young players on both sides, with the Spurs scoring in double figures with Dejuntay Murray, Kelden Johnson, Polbert and Lonnie Walker playing particularly well, with a combined 114 points from 43-of-72 shooting. On the Wizards side, the two Lakers veterans played extremely brightly, kuzma scored a game-high 36 points, plus 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and tearfully accepted the SVP. Pop did not hesitate to let go, scoring 24 points on 7-of-14 shooting, proving the gold content of the former "guard with a knife".
Spurs' Dejuntai Murray was the well-deserved MVP of the game, scoring 31 points on 12-of-20 shooting and scoring 13 rebounds and 14 assists, highlighting the strength of the new All-Star players with a large triple-double. I don't know if Murray learned from some senior during the All-Star period, but I feel that he is more mature in his playing style and has become more calm than ever in the handling of some balls. It is worth mentioning that although Murray's shooting rate in this game is extremely high, he did not fall into a singles, but used his offensive threat to create more opportunities for his teammates. Murray single-handedly revived the Spurs' offense, with 14 assists speaking for themselves, and 13 rebounds mostly won by actively fighting. He's perfect on both ends of the floor, with a masterful grip on the rhythm of the field, and he's already a qualified defender, as if he's seeing the next All-Star waving at him.
The Spurs are getting better and better, and as the schedule progresses, the Spurs' youngsters continue to improve. Although they are currently only eleventh in the West with a record of 24 wins and 36 losses, they can also play a game against the top three teams in the West, such as the Suns, Warriors and Grizzlies. Spurs' young people are very energetic, young is their capital, in the next few seasons, as long as the management slightly strengthens the team's lineup depth, I believe the Spurs can return to the ranks of the western powerhouses.
