The Ball Bounced Castle's Way for a Career-High 40 Points in Triple-Double in Spurs' Win over Mavs

At Frost Bank Center Saturday, Stephon Castle, the Spurs' second-year guard, had a career-high 40 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in a 138-125 victory.
Coach Johnson credited Spurs' decision-making and pace, noting Dallas sometimes defended with centers, which Castle exploited for teammate advantages.
He finished shooting 78.9 from the field with a season-high 12 rebounds and capped with a windmill dunk at 129-108 with 6:26 remaining.
The win gave the Spurs a four-game winning streak and improved their 36-16 record, keeping them second in the Western Conference.
Castle joined Hall of Famer David Robinson as one of the only Spurs with a 40-point triple-double, while ESPN Research noted he became the youngest to achieve this, and a crowd of 18,617 celebrated on Sunday.
