Kyrie Irving, the Mavs’ second star, had 22 points, but a low performance of just 10 converted shots out of 24 attempted.
The game started with a bang, with the teams having a first quarter with many points: 43 to 36 for Spurs.
The game continued with a high score and was quite balanced until the end. Wembanyama ended up with four fouls in the third quarter and got into trouble in the game.
