Despite poor shooting performances from Dallas and San Antonio, the Mavericks emerged victorious with a 120-109 win over the Spurs.

Wembanyama, the 7-foot-4 French sensation and reigning Rookie of the Year, added nine boards and one block to his total. He missed several layups and tap-ins at the rim, was 3-of-16 at one point from the floor, and finished the game just 1-of-8 from 3-point.

Luka Dončić and Klay Thompson combined impressively in only their first game together to lead the Dallas Mavericks over the San Antonio Spurs 120-106 in the latest edition of the I-35 Rivalry.
