Match Overview
On Thursday evening in Dallas, Victor Wembanyama delivered a commanding performance with 29 points and 11 rebounds, as the San Antonio Spurs secured a 135-123 win over the Mavericks. The result came despite an historic outing from rookie No. 1 draft pick Cooper Flagg, who notched his fourth consecutive 30-point game, extending his record for a teenager in the NBA and keeping pace with league greats Michael Jordan, Bernard King, Allen Iverson and Jalen Green as the only rookies since the NBA-ABA merger in 1976-77 to tally at least 30 points in four successive games.
Flagg contributed 32 points in total, though Dallas has now lost its last six games, marking the team’s lengthiest skid of the season and dropping all four contests during Flagg’s streak.

Team Contributions and Key Moments
San Antonio’s victory was built on a collective effort, with seven players reaching double digits. Harrison Barnes chipped in 19 points, and De’Aaron Fox battled through a difficult shooting night to register 17 points, including two pivotal three-pointers in the fourth quarter. Fox’s second clutch triple was set up by Wembanyama’s sixth assist, extending the Spurs’ lead to 131-123 with 1:24 left on the clock.
Stephon Castle recorded 18 points and seven rebounds, punctuating the win with a decisive follow-up dunk for the game’s final score.
Mavericks’ Standouts and Recent Moves
Naji Marshall matched Flagg’s 32-point haul for Dallas, while Daniel Gafford produced a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, shortly after the trade deadline concluded without him being moved despite pre-deadline rumours. Thursday’s contest was the Mavericks’ first since trading 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis, who had missed a month due to a left hand injury.
