A Historic Individual Performance

Victor Wembanyama recorded 52 points and 24 rebounds in a dominant display that carried the San Antonio Spurs to a 112-111 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. The home team secured the victory at Frost Bank Center before an attendance of 18,354, improving their record to 6-2 while the visiting Mavericks fell to 4-4.

Wembanyama’s statistical output was the defining feature of the evening, as he provided the scoring and rebounding presence necessary to edge out a tightly contested opponent.

The Game Unfolds

The Spurs established an early lead, finishing the first quarter ahead 32-26. They extended that advantage significantly during the second period, outscoring Dallas 36-25 to take a 68-51 lead into the halftime break. However, the momentum shifted dramatically in the third quarter, where the Mavericks responded with a 29-22 run to cut the deficit to 90-80.

The fourth quarter saw the teams trade blows, with the visitors scoring 31 points to the Spurs' 22. Despite the late surge by Dallas, the Spurs held onto the slim one-point margin to secure the final score.

Key Contributions

Beyond Wembanyama’s historic totals, De'Aaron Fox contributed four assists for San Antonio, helping to orchestrate the offense in critical moments. For Dallas, Kyrie Irving was the primary offensive threat, scoring 29 points and dishing out five assists. P.J.

Washington also played a vital role for the Mavericks, securing 10 rebounds to provide a presence on the glass. The combination of Irving’s shooting and Washington’s boards kept Dallas within striking distance for much of the contest, yet they ultimately could not overcome the Spurs' depth and Wembanyama’s individual brilliance.

Season Context

With this result, the Spurs move to a 6-2 mark, reflecting a strong start to the season. The Mavericks, conversely, sit at 4-4. The game served as a high-profile matchup between two Texas franchises, showcasing the competitive nature of the regional rivalry.

The final whistle confirmed the Spurs' one-point advantage, cementing a night defined by Wembanyama’s exceptional statistical performance and the close nature of the final minutes.
