SAN ANTONIO, 08 February 2026 – The San Antonio Spurs have continued their dominance over the Dallas Mavericks this season, securing a high-scoring 135-123 victory on Thursday night.

In a game that lived up to the hype, Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with a commanding performance, recording 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks. The French superstar’s presence in the paint proved to be the difference-maker as San Antonio (35-16) fended off a late surge from the Mavericks.

Despite the loss, Dallas rookie Cooper Flagg continued his historic start to his NBA career. Flagg scored 32 points, marking his fourth consecutive game with 30 or more points—becoming the youngest player in NBA history to achieve such a streak.

Recent Form and Standings

The Spurs are currently enjoying a strong run, sitting well above .500 and contending for a top seed in the Western Conference. Following the win against Dallas, they followed up with a 116-106 victory over an injury-depleted opponent, led by Keldon Johnson and another double-double from Wembanyama.

Conversely, the Mavericks are in a period of transition. Following the high-profile trade of Luka Doncic earlier in the season and the subsequent move of Anthony Davis, the team has fully pivoted to a rebuild centred around Cooper Flagg. While Flagg’s individual stats are elite, the team’s defensive rating remains near the bottom of the league, contributing to their current 19-32 record.
