Both teams decided to rest their key players, so the matchup between Nikola Jokić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander did not take place. Jonas Valančiūnas dominated Denver's ranks with 23 points and 17 rebounds. Julian Strawther was also excellent with 22 points, and David Roddy added 21 points.

Alongside Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox stood out for San Antonio with 18 points and 10 assists, and Keldon Johnson added 17 points. On the other hand, Dallas continued its poor results, suffering its 11th loss in the last 13 games, with the only bright spot being rookie Cooper Flagg, who scored an impressive 33 points, along with six rebounds and five assists.
