Spurs hold off Mavs behind Wembanyama’s historic night

Victor Wembanyama delivered a historic performance to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 112-111 victory over the Dallas Mavericks at the Frost Bank Center. Wembanyama recorded a career-high 52 points, 24 rebounds, and eight blocks while shooting 16-for-28 from the field, helping San Antonio hold off a late Dallas comeback to claim its sixth consecutive victory.

The Spurs led 68-51 at halftime after Wembanyama scored 29 first-half points. Head coach Mitch Johnson praised the star center, who played through illness and rolled an ankle during the fourth quarter to secure the one-point win.
