Wembanyama Scores 32 as Spurs Rally Past Bulls 124-119

Victor Wembanyama scored 32 points as the San Antonio Spurs rallied from 22 points down to beat the Chicago Bulls 124-119 at the United Center on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. San Antonio has now won ten games in a row.

Chicago controlled the first half. The Bulls scored 41 points in the first quarter and led 70-56 at halftime after a 29-27 second quarter. San Antonio scored 29 points in the first quarter and 27 in the second, and the visitors went into the break facing a 14 point deficit on the road.

A 22 point lead disappears in the third quarter

San Antonio won the third quarter 34-19 to lead 90-89 heading into the fourth. The Bulls, who had led by as many as 22 points, scored only 19 points in that quarter while the Spurs found their rhythm at both ends of the court.

The run included a two hand dunk by Wembanyama from the free throw line on a third quarter fast break. He took a pass from Julian Champagnie and finished the play that became the clear image of the comeback. San Antonio then closed the game with a 34-30 fourth quarter. Chicago scored 30 points in the fourth but could not recover the lead it had held for most of the first half.

Wembanyama leads the rally

Wembanyama made 13 of his 18 shots and finished with 32 points, 9 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2 steals in 31 minutes and 56 seconds. His blocks helped slow a Chicago attack that had scored 70 points before halftime.

Dylan Harper gave San Antonio a second strong line with 18 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds. De'Aaron Fox added 17 points and 9 assists, and Stephon Castle scored 11 points.

Wilson leaves with a hand injury

Chicago rookie Caleb Wilson started and scored 15 points on 5 of 7 shooting with 5 rebounds in 15 minutes and 28 seconds. He left in the third quarter with a right hand injury and was ruled out for the rest of the game. His exit came during the same quarter in which San Antonio took control.

Jalen Smith led Chicago with 23 points on 8 of 9 shooting, including 5 of 5 from three point range. Nic Claxton added 17 points and Matas Buzelis scored 13 points. Their scoring kept Chicago close in the fourth quarter, but it was not enough to hold off the Spurs.

Turnovers and the paint decide the finish

Chicago committed 19 turnovers to 6 for San Antonio. The Spurs recorded 16 steals and won points in the paint 66 to 56. Those two margins explain how a team that trailed by 22 points won by five. San Antonio took the ball away, protected it at the other end, and scored inside during the second half.

The win improved San Antonio to 10-2, with ten straight wins, and the Spurs have yet to lose on the road this season. Chicago fell to 1-9, including 0-3 at home. The quarter scores were Chicago 41, 29, 19 and 30, and San Antonio 29, 27, 34 and 34.
