Wembanyama's 52 points, 24 rebounds, 8 blocks lift Spurs past Mavericks 112-111
Victor Wembanyama recorded a career-high 52 points, 24 rebounds and 8 blocks as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Dallas Mavericks 112-111 for their sixth straight win. The 22-year-old Frenchman hit the decisive free throw with 24.2 seconds left after Naji Marshall tied the game at 111, and Kyrie Irving missed a contested jumper before the buzzer. Wembanyama played through illness and briefly left with an apparent ankle injury. Reports describe the statistical line as unprecedented since blocks became official in 1973.
