The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks 94 - 97 Wednesday at American Airlines Center . The Spurs ( 14 - 4 ) were playing their second leg of a back - to - back , but we able to bounce back nicely against Dallas ( 3 - 13 ) after dropping Tuesday 's matchup against the Magic . San Antonio rested Tony Parker , Manu Ginobili and Pau Gasol on the second leg , but still managed to put together a solid offensive performance , shooting 47 percent from the field and an astounding 58 percent from behind the arc . It was backup point guard Patty Mills who shined off the bench Wednesday , as he shot 9 - of - 12 shooting from the field overall and 5 - of - 6 from behind the arc en route to a team - high 23 points . And it was a necessary effort , as the team 's stars in Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge struggled mightily . Leonard managed 21 points , but shot just 5 - of - 16 from the field , while Aldridge could not get anything going , scoring just five points on 2 - of - 9 shooting . Danny Green was the only other Spur to score in double figures , notching 11 points . For the Mavericks , they continue to slide , with Wednesday 's loss being their ninth in their last 10 games . It was yet another offensive struggle for Dallas too , with Wednesday 's 87 points being the seventh time this season where they failed to score 90 points . Wesley Mathews led the way , scoring a game - high 26 points in 37 minutes . Harrison Barnes was the only other starter to reach double figures with 17 points , while Seth Curry and Dwight Powell scoring double figures off the bench , scoring 14 and 10 points respectively . As a team , the Mavericks shot a lowly 43 percent from the field . Up next , the Spurs will head home Friday to take on the Wizards , while the Mavericks will look to turn their season around in Charlotte on Thursday against the Hornets . In the 13 games prior to Wednesday night LaMarcus Aldridge played at least 30 minutes , he never failed to score less than 10 points . In fact , Aldridge scored less than 10 points while playing at least 30 minutes just twice in all of last season . Wednesday night against the Mavericks , Aldridge notched his lowest scoring total - - five points - - since joining San Antonio , and he did so in 32 minutes of playing time . And while Wednesday 's struggle does not indicate the season Aldridge has had so far , as he is still averaging 18 points and 7 rebounds . Those numbers , however , are still subpar by Aldridge 's standards , as after averaging at least 21 points and eight rebounds in five straight years with Portland , the power forward 's numbers have dipped to 18 points and under seven rebounds per game . With Tim Duncan retired and gone , the Spurs will need Aldridge to channel the player he was in Portland if they want a chance to compete in the Western Conference again .
