Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks got the better of Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs on Tuesday night by a score of 113-107.
Doncic completed the hat trick with 18 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds and his efforts were enough for the Mavericks to win. Kyrie Irving pulled out all the stops with 28 points and 7 rebounds.
Facing them, the young Wembanyama did what he could to slow down Dallas’ momentum. He notably managed six blocks, but his efforts did not lead the Spurs to their destination. Offensively, Wemby had 12 points and 11 rebounds.
This was the third clash between Doncic and Wembanyama. In the first, Doncic dominated with a triple of 33 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, while in the second, Wembanyama had obtained 26 points, compared to 27 for Doncic.
The Mavericks therefore sign a second victory in a row and they have also won six of their last seven games, while the Spurs have suffered a fourth defeat in their last five outings.
The Mavs owe this victory to an excellent first quarter, which allowed them to take an eight-point lead. Spurs offered good opposition thereafter, without ever being able to make up the deficit.
