Wembanyama drops 32 pts, Spurs win 10th straight over Bulls

Victor Wembanyama was simply unstoppable at the United Center on November 11, 2026, as the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Chicago Bulls 124-119 in regular season play, extending their remarkable winning streak to 10 consecutive games. The French phenom finished with 32 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 blocks in just 32 minutes, making it abundantly clear that Chicago had no answer for the most dominant force in the NBA.

Wembanyama’s efficiency drives a wire-to-wire Spurs statement

San Antonio came out of the gates assertive and purposeful, with Wembanyama controlling the paint and the perimeter in equal measure. The n°1 pick of the 2023 Draft shot an exceptional 13-of-18 from the field, including 2-of-6 from three and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, accumulating a staggering +29 plus/minus that tells the story of just how influential he was. Dylan Harper complemented the pivot des Spurs beautifully, posting 18 points, 10 assists, and a remarkable 4 steals in 36 minutes, while De’Aaron Fox added 17 points and 9 assists to give San Antonio a devastating three-headed attack.

The Bulls tried to weather the storm in the second quarter, but every time Chicago mounted a threat, Wembanyama answered — either with a bucket over a hapless defender or a block that sent a would-be scorer back to the drawing board. By halftime, San Antonio had built a foundation sturdy enough to withstand whatever the hosts might throw at them in the second half.

The third quarter saw the Bulls briefly tighten the margin, with Jalen Smith catching fire from deep and Nic Claxton attacking the rim to keep United Center alive. Yet the Spurs’ collective depth proved too much to overcome. Julian Champagnie knocked down 3-of-6 threes for 12 points, and Stephon Castle chipped in 11 points with steady ball movement, ensuring Chicago could never fully close the gap.

5 blocks and a +29: the defensive masterclass the Bulls couldn’t survive

The defining sequence of the night came midway through the fourth quarter. With the Bulls trailing by eight and desperately needing a spark, a Chicago guard drove aggressively toward the paint — only for the French phenomenon to rise and swat the attempt clean into the third row. The United Center fell momentarily silent. San Antonio pushed back up the floor, converted the ensuing possession, and the game was effectively over. It was a microcosm of everything that makes Wembanyama impossible to game-plan against: even when opponents commit to forcing him off the ball offensively, his defensive reach covers the entire half-court.

For the Bulls, Jalen Smith’s 23-point effort on 8-of-9 shooting, including a perfect 5-of-5 from three, was an individual gem in an otherwise painful evening. His -31 plus/minus, however, encapsulated Chicago’s night as a whole — individual moments of brilliance, collective disaster.

10 wins in a row: the Spurs are the NBA’s most feared team right now

Wembanyama’s performance

His +29 was the best on either team by a wide margin. Through the early stages of this 2025-26 regular season, the Frenchman continues to operate at a level few players in NBA history have approached.

Team context

At 10 wins in a row and what appears to be a record of 10-2 after this result, the Spurs have emerged as one of the most complete teams in the Western Conference. Their five-man scoring contributions, lockdown defensive intensity, and the foundational brilliance of their franchise cornerstone make them a nightmare matchup for any opponent on any given night. The Bulls, by contrast, continue to search for answers on both ends of the floor.

What comes next

San Antonio will look to push their extraordinary streak even further in their next road assignment, with the Western Conference standings tightening around them as rivals begin to take notice. For Wembanyama, each performance adds another chapter to what is shaping up as an MVP-caliber season. The only question left for the rest of the league: how do you stop something that cannot be stopped?
