30 sourcesUpdated Nov 5, 20261 min read
Victor Wembanyama scored a career-high 52 points, grabbed 24 rebounds and blocked eight shots as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Dallas Mavericks 112-111, extending their winning streak to six games. He became the first player in the NBA’s play-by-play era to record at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in a half, and joined a rare group of players with a 50-point, 20-rebound, five-block game. San Antonio built a 17-point lead before Dallas rallied behind Kyrie Irving, who scored 29 points and missed a contested jumper in the closing seconds. Cooper Flagg had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Dallas, while Dylan Harper led the Spurs’ other scorers with 21 points.

Wembanyama putting up those numbers in one half makes the Spurs look like they finally have their guy.
