New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 8, 2025

The market total sat at 244.5, and this matchup came out firing above that line from the opening possession. San Antonio and New Orleans combined for 50 points in the first quarter alone, immediately signaling an uptempo affair. The second quarter became the game's decisive offensive showcase, with both teams pouring in 74 combined points—the highest-scoring frame of the night—to send the teams into halftime at 124 combined. That first half alone suggested an over-friendly game, but the second half proved more measured, with just 121 combined points across the final 24 minutes, allowing the final total of 245 to squeak just past the posted number.

Trey Murphy III led New Orleans with a game-high 41 points to go with 9 rebounds and 3 assists, while Jeremiah Fears added 18 points and Herbert Jones chipped in 15 points and 4 assists for the Pelicans. De'Aaron Fox paced San Antonio with 24 points, and Victor Wembanyama delivered a balanced effort of 18 points and 18 rebounds. Stephon Castle's 16 points and 13 assists orchestrated the Spurs' offensive rhythm in the win.

The Spurs' 126-119 victory came despite New Orleans' recent defensive struggles—the Pelicans have allowed 120.8 per game over their last eight—and reinforced San Antonio's scoring prowess at 118.2 per game in that same stretch. This was a tighter affair than their earlier season meeting, which finished at 236 combined points on October 24.
