The San Antonio Spurs pulled off a gritty comeback against the Chicago Bulls last night, edging them out 121-117 in a matchup that had fans on the edge of their seats. Played at the United Center, the game showcased the Spurs' resilience as they overcame an early deficit to improve their record. Victor Wembanyama was the standout, dropping a massive 38 points and proving why he's the league's rising star. The French phenom's clutch three-pointer in the final moments turned the tide, silencing the home crowd.
For the Bulls, now sitting at 6-4, it was a tough loss despite strong efforts from their backcourt. Tre Jones, who inked a three-year, $24 million deal with Chicago before the season, led the charge with 20 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in 33 minutes. The former Duke guard showed no hesitation, even drawing a charge on Wembanyama. Jalen Smith chipped in a double-double with 11 points and 12 boards, but it wasn't enough to hold off San Antonio's surge.
On the Spurs' side, Luke Kornet made his return after missing seven games with ankle and shoulder issues. Listed as questionable, he suited up and contributed in the post-game buzz, praising the team's toughness in a hard-fought road win. Kornet's presence added depth to the frontcourt, helping San Antonio build an 11-0 fastbreak edge early on.
