On December 18, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Spurs played the Pelicans at home. The last game ended the losing streak, the Spurs came up with a good momentum this time, but they were quickly suppressed by the Pelicans, and gradually opened the difference, and they could bite the score in the first half, but in the second half, the Pelicans completely opened the point difference, and took a lead of up to 40 points. In the end, the Spurs lost 110-146 to the Pelicans.
The Spurs beat the Lakers in the last game to end an 18-game losing streak, and this time they were in good shape, scoring 6 points in a row to start the game 6-0, but then fell into a slump, and the Pelicans seized the opportunity to score consecutive points on the inside and outside shots, and took a 33-20 lead in a single quarter. In the second quarter, the Pelicans came up to continue their hand, once taking a 20-point lead, but fortunately, the Spurs found some touch after that, Osman scored consecutive points on internal and external shots, and Wembanyama also scored three points, playing a wave of 11-0 offensive, and trailing the Pelicans 51-61 at halftime.
In the second half, the Spurs felt good at the beginning and were still able to bite the score, but the Pelicans offense felt hot, Marshall and Murphy hit three points one after another, Zion scored a dunk inside, and the Spurs were a little unbearable, the Pelicans scored 44 points in a single quarter, and led the Spurs 105-78 after the third quarter. In the final quarter, Wembanyama continued to stay on the court and contributed a violent dunk, but McCollum hit a three-point shot, and the difference was stretched to more than 30 points, and the game lost suspense early. In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Spurs 146-110 and won four in a row.
The matchup between Wembanyama and Zion in this game is also a highlight, but unfortunately they didn't have much dialogue this time, and once Zion's single was blocked by Wemban. At the end of the game, Wembanyama had 17 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, while Zion had 15 points and 8 rebounds. Zion was a little behind in terms of statistics, but he won the game, and his teammates around him ushered in an explosion, with seven players on the team scoring double-doubles, hitting 22 three-pointers, Ingram scored 26 points on 5-of-7 three-pointers, and McCollum scored 29 points on 6-of-7 three-pointers, and finally the Pelicans also won a big victory.
The Spurs failed to give Wemban's much support this time, and the team also had six players score double-doubles, but the highest score was Wemban's 17 points, and the team also lost miserably. It may be that the last game was too ruthless, and this time it failed to continue the feeling, and it is gratifying to end the losing streak, but it also needs to continue the momentum, and it cannot be the beginning of the next wave of consecutive defeats.
