NBA Recap: Spurs' Victor Wembanyama has 5×5 vs. Jazz

Victor Wembanyama rebounded from one of his worst NBA games with a rare 5×5 to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 106-88 victory over the Utah Jazz on Thursday night in Salt Lake City.

It was the 20-year-old's second time completing the so-called 5×5 (five in each category), and Wembanyama joined Hakeem Olajuwon and Andrei Kirilenko as the only NBA players to do it more than once. Olajuwon did it six times, Kirilenko three.

Phoenix made 15 straight shots early in the second half, sparking a surge that extended its winning streak to three games.

James Harden scored 25 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds while Norman Powell added 23 points as the Clippers fell to 0-3 in their new building. Harden became the 20th player in NBA history to reach 26,000 career points. Ivica Zubac scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

Rockets 108, Mavericks 102

Jalen Green scored a team-high 23 points and Houston staved off a fourth-quarter comeback to win in Dallas.

Green sank a three-pointer with 1:12 left to steady the Rockets and respond to Luka Doncic's three-pointer that put Dallas up 100-97. Dillon Brooks and Alperen Sengun each scored 17 points for the Rockets, who combined for 25 points and eight rebounds from Amen Thompson and Tari Eason off the bench. Sengun matched Green with a game-high 12 rebounds.

Doncic scored 15 of his game-high 29 points on 6-for-8 shooting in the fourth quarter.
