The Hoop Central also shared Wemby’s recent scoring stretch, explaining that his consistency is backing up the hype, “28.2 PPG, 12.2 RPG, 3.5 APG, 3.5 BPG… MVP numbers.”
The Bulls, pushing to snap a three-game losing streak, started fast with an uncontested one-handed slam from Matas Buzelis, but the Spurs quickly answered with a 20-13 run fueled by Wembanyama’s early double-double.
Wemby’s presence inside helped San Antonio dominate the paint, securing a 55-35 rebounding edge. The Frenchman was efficient in the post, confident from deep, and controlled both ends without forcing shots. This was his third 40-point game of the season and his 14th game with at least 30 points. It was also his fourth straight double-double with 15 or more rebounds.
The Spurs, meanwhile, improved to 57-18, winning their ninth straight game, as Wembanyama strengthened his case at the top of the Kia MVP race.
