Overview
- Victor Wembanyama finished with 38 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 threes and 5 blocks, a first-of-its-kind 35/10/5/5 threes/5 blocks stat line according to the Spurs.
- He scored 18 in the fourth quarter and buried back-to-back threes in the final minute to secure San Antonio’s 121-117 road win over Chicago.
- San Antonio improved to 8-2 through 10 games, with De’Aaron Fox adding 21 points and Stephon Castle recording 19 points and 11 assists.
- Chicago dropped to 6-4 with a third consecutive loss, played without Josh Giddey due to an ankle injury, and Billy Donovan regretted Kevin Huerter’s hurried late three when he intended to extend the game.
- Afterward, Wembanyama said the team must keep improving, noting they haven’t faced many elite opponents and that defenses have begun adjusting with aggressive double-teams.
