Castle's 40-point triple-double fuels surging Spurs past Mavericks for 4th

SAN ANTONIO (AP) --- San Antonio guard Stephon Castle had a career-high 40
points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists for his second career triple-double, leading
the Spurs past the Dallas Mavericks 138-125 on Saturday.
Devin Vassell had 17 points and Victor Wembanyama added 16 points and 11
rebounds for San Antonio, which set a season high for points in a half with 81
before halftime.
The Spurs (36-16) won their fourth straight and ninth in 12 games to remain
second in the Western Conference.
Dallas, which lost 135-123 at San Antonio on Thursday night, got 19 points from
Klay Thompson, 18 from Brandon Williams and 17 from Max Christie. Cooper Flagg
finished with 14 points.
Castle joins Hall of Famer David Robinson as the only Spurs in franchise
history with a 40-point triple-double.
The second-year guard from Connecticut punctuated his triple-double by
following up a miss with a windmill dunk that put San Antonio up 129-108 with
6:26 remaining.
Castle's first triple-double was Nov. 12, 2025, against the Golden State
Warriors when he had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a 125-120 loss
the Golden State Warriors.
Marvin Bagley III, A.J. Johnson and Tyus Jones all debuted for Dallas. Bagley
and Johnson were acquired in a trade that sent Anthony Davis to Washington and
Jones was part of a subsequent deal with Charlotte for Malaki Branham.
Bagley had an immediate impact, scoring eight points in his first five minutes
off the bench while powering down two dunks and blocking shots by Vassell and
Harrison Barnes.
Bagley finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds.
San Antonio will not play in the Frost Bank Center again until March 5 as they
embark on their annual Rodeo Road Trip. The Spurs will play two games in Austin
during that road trip that are considered home games.
