**November 5, 2026 —** Victor Wembanyama produced a remarkable all-around performance
Wednesday night, scoring 52 points, collecting 24 rebounds and blocking eight shots
as the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks **112–111** at Frost Bank
Center. The final score and player totals are confirmed by the [NBA’s official game record](https://www.nba.com/game/dal-vs-sas-0022600184/blueprint)
and [Dallas Mavericks’ game report](https://www.nba.com/mavs/news/wembanyama-score-52-and-grab-24-boards-as-spurs-clip-mavericks-112-111).

## How the one-point finish unfolded

San Antonio built a 68–51 halftime lead, but Dallas recovered and briefly moved 
ahead in the fourth quarter. Wembanyama’s free throw with 24.2 seconds left broke
a 111–111 tie. Kyrie Irving missed a late attempt, leaving the Spurs with their 
sixth consecutive victory. Wembanyama shot 16-for-28 from the floor and 19-for-23
at the line; Dallas was led by Irving’s 29 points.

## Why this performance matters

The combination of elite scoring, rebounding and rim protection matters more than
the point total alone. Wembanyama supplied a defensive deterrent while anchoring
the Spurs’ offense, demonstrating why his influence is difficult to measure through
scoring averages. Yet Dallas’ second-half comeback also exposed a limitation: even
a historic individual night did not put the result beyond doubt. The narrow margin
is a reminder that sustaining San Antonio’s winning run will require contributions
across the roster.

According to the [NBA’s Associated Press game coverage](https://www.nba.com/news/spurs-victor-wembanyama-52-points-mavericks),
the 52 points and 24 rebounds were career highs. The achievement occurred in the**
November 4 game**; this report is dated November 5 to reflect publication, not a
second matchup.
