Victor Wembanyama’s 52 Points and 24 Rebounds Lift Spurs Past Dallas

Victor Wembanyama reaches toward the basket as Dallas contests his shot.

Victor Wembanyama delivered career highs of 52 points and 24 rebounds, along with eight blocks, as San Antonio edged Dallas 112–111 on Wednesday, November 4. The Spurs won their sixth consecutive game, turning an extraordinary individual performance into a narrow team victory.

The NBA.com game report shows how close that result remained. Kyrie Irving missed a 15-foot attempt with three seconds left after Wembanyama’s late free throw established the final margin. Wembanyama had also supplied two putbacks during the closing 2 minutes, 39 seconds, helping San Antonio withstand Dallas’ comeback.

His production extended well beyond the finish. Wembanyama made 16 of 28 shots and had seven dunks. During one first-half stretch, he blocked three shots in 13 seconds. The combination of second-chance scoring and rim protection kept him involved at both ends even when the Mavericks reduced the lead.

The league’s Thursday briefing puts the performance in historical context: he became the first player with 50 points, 20 rebounds and five blocks since Bob McAdoo in 1974. No player had previously reached 50 points, 20 rebounds and eight blocks in a game since blocked shots became an official statistic in 1973–74.

San Antonio had led by 19, but Dallas made the closing possessions decisive. Irving finished with 29 points, seven rebounds and five assists. A Cooper Flagg three-point play tied the game at 100 before Wembanyama scored 10 of the Spurs’ final 12 points, according to the league briefing.

That sequence is the central distinction between a spectacular box score and a winning performance. Wembanyama did not simply build a large total while the result was secure; San Antonio still needed his scoring after Dallas had erased its cushion. The game was unresolved until Irving’s final opportunity missed.

The Spurs’ six-game winning streak follows an 0–2 start. This was one night, rather than a guarantee about the season ahead, but it supplied a striking example of how much Wembanyama can affect a close game. Follow PowerPage Sports for more NBA results and analysis.
