The San Antonio Spurs defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 126–119 on November 8 at Frost Bank Center, with Dejounte Fox leading the hosts with 24 points while Victor Wembanyama added 18 in a balanced offensive effort. The Spurs shot 53.3 percent from the field and made 14 three-pointers, controlling pace with 31 assists against just 12 turnovers, while posting a 126.1 offensive rating. New Orleans, led by Trey Murphy III's team-high 41 points and Jaylen Fears' 18, kept the game competitive by sinking 15 threes despite shooting 47.9 percent overall and committing 11 turnovers. San Antonio's second quarter proved decisive—the Spurs outscored New Orleans 38–36 in that frame to build separation—and their defensive rating of 117.3 held firm down the stretch. The Pelicans, despite Murphy's scoring outburst, couldn't overcome their 40-rebound deficit (43–40) and struggled to maintain consistency, particularly in the third quarter when San Antonio's defense tightened. The victory solidifies the Spurs' position in the Western Conference as they continue to balance ball movement with efficient perimeter shooting.
