Spurs Rally Past Bulls in Nail-Biter: Wembanyama's Epic 38 Points Seal Dramatic Win

In a high-stakes showdown at the United Center, the San Antonio Spurs clawed their way to a 121-117 victory over the Chicago Bulls on November 10, 2025, extending their winning streak to three. The game swung wildly, with the Bulls holding a double-digit lead late in the third, but San Antonio's resilience shone through in the final frame.

Victor Wembanyama was the undisputed star, erupting for 18 of his game-high 38 points in the fourth quarter alone. The 7-foot-4 phenom added 12 rebounds, five assists, five blocks, and a personal-best six three-pointers, etching his name in NBA history as the first player to notch 35-plus points, 10 rebounds, five assists, five blocks, and five threes in one outing. His fadeaway jumper and back-to-back triples in the clutch turned the tide, helping the Spurs overcome a 104-91 deficit.

For Chicago, sidelined by Josh Giddey's ankle injury, Kevin Huerter stepped up with 23 points, including key threes that fueled their mid-game surge. Ayo Dosunmu chipped in 20 points, while Jalen Smith grabbed 12 rebounds to go with 11 points. Despite a strong bench effort and 42.1% three-point shooting, the Bulls faltered down the stretch, shooting just 7-for-25 in the fourth.

The Spurs, now 8-2 and second in the West, showcased their depth, with contributions from Harrison Barnes and Devin Vassell keeping the pressure on. Chicago drops to 6-4, sixth in the East, exposing some closing-time vulnerabilities. As both teams gear up for midweek matchups—Spurs hosting Golden State, Bulls visiting Detroit—what does this intense battle say about the NBA's rising young talents?
