The San Antonio Spurs erased a 22-point deficit and beat the Chicago Bulls 124-119 on Wednesday for their 10th straight win, NBA.com reported.
The Spurs trailed by 22 with 4:28 left in the second quarter and led by 13 with 4:28 left in the fourth, the league site said. In between, they outscored Chicago 70-35, a 35-point swing. Victor Wembanyama finished with 32 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks, including 21 points on 9-for-13 shooting, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks during that run. Since the streak began he is averaging 32.6 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.5 blocks, ranking second, fifth and first in the league in those categories over that span, NBA.com said. San Antonio ranks first in offensive rating and fourth in defensive rating during the 10-0 run, with an average margin of 15 points.
The 22-point rally also made the Spurs, with the 2017-18 Celtics, one of only two NBA teams to win 10 straight after starting a season 0-2, NBA.com said. They play the Warriors on Friday in NBA Cup group play at 6:30 p.m. PT on Prime, seeking an 11th straight win. Those figures are NBA.com’s; this report does not predict Friday’s result.
