Wembanyama unleashed: 41
Victor Wembanyama dropped 41 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and added 4 assists and 3 blocks on 17/27 shooting in a 31‑minute monster outing that kept eyes on his MVP and playoff implications (x.com). The boxscore underlines why San Antonio’s young star is central to matchups down the stretch as teams jockey for seeding (cbssports.com).
San Antonio beat Chicago 129-114 on March 30, a result that pushed the Spurs’ winning streak to nine games. (espn.com) Wembanyama posted the fastest double‑double in NBA history, reaching 10 points and 10 rebounds in just 8 minutes, 31 seconds; the recap contrasts that pace with Jim Washington’s nine‑minute double‑double from March 6, 1966. (espn.com) The win followed a 127-95 victory over Milwaukee two days earlier that guaranteed San Antonio at least the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, a standing projection that now removes them from play‑in risk. (espn.co.uk) Stephon Castle supported the effort with 21 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds, and the Spurs had six players score in double figures while building a lead as large as 29 in the third quarter. (espn.com) Chicago’s Tre Jones returned to San Antonio and scored 23 in his first game back after the trade that sent him to the Bulls, a night that came after Chicago waived guard Jaden Ivey roughly two hours before tipoff. (espn.com) SofaScore rated the performance a 9.7 out of 10 and recorded elite efficiency marks for Wembanyama, while ESPN noted it was his 14th game of the season with at least 30 points.
