San Antonio Spurs vs New Orleans Pelicans Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 24, 2025

San Antonio escaped New Orleans 120–116 in overtime, a four-point road victory that hinged on a second half that simply couldn't sustain the offensive pace set early. The combined 236 fell well short of expectations for a matchup between a Spurs team averaging 125 points and a Pelicans squad that had been allowing 128 per game.

The first half told a different story. New Orleans and San Antonio combined for 115 points through two quarters, with the second period particularly explosive at 58 combined points—the game's highest-scoring quarter. That early offensive rhythm evaporated after halftime. The third quarter saw the teams combine for just 47 points, a dramatic 11-point drop from Q2, and the fourth quarter added only 52 combined, pushing the game to overtime at 116–116. San Antonio's extra period proved decisive: 13 points to New Orleans' 9.

Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 29 points and 11 rebounds, while Devin Vassell contributed 23 points. Zion Williamson matched Wembanyama's 29 for the Pelicans and added 10 rebounds and 7 assists, with Trey Murphy III providing 24 points and 10 boards. The defensive tightening in the second half—especially that 47-point third quarter combined—proved the difference in a game that came down to execution in the final five minutes.
