Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 40 points, while Dejounte Fox added 18 in support.

The Spurs' third quarter proved decisive, outscoring the Mavericks 40–28 to seize control. Collin Flagg paced Dallas with 33 points and Malik Christie contributed 16, but the Mavericks' 45.9 field-goal percentage and 35 rebounds—13 fewer than San Antonio's 48—proved insufficient.
