Mandatory Credit: Daniel Dunn-Imagn Images | Daniel Dunn-Imagn Images Coming off a blowout win against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Spurs returned home for one home game against the Chicago Bulls. After getting off to a slow start, the Spurs managed to take a one-point lead into the second quarter. They dominated the Bulls in the second quarter, outscoring them 35-19 for a 17-point halftime lead. In the third, both offenses were clicking, but the Spurs extended their lead to 20 heading into the fourth. Every time the Bulls kept chipping away at the lead, the Spurs always had a counter. The Spurs ultimately won 129-114. Victor Wembanyama dropped his best performance of the season: A season-high 41 points (17-27 FG, 3-6 3PT), 16 rebounds, four assists, three blocks, and a steal. Wemby recorded the fastest double-double in NBA history by dropping one in eight minutes. He was truly unstoppable in the paint. Whenever there was a missed shot, Wemby always stayed active for the offensive rebound. Of his 16 rebounds, six were offensive. He always got open for a lob opportunity or for a three-pointer. His 41 points are the highest he’s scored in a game since Christmas Day 2024 against New York, in which he scored 42. There has been chatter on how Wemby does not average similar scoring numbers to Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Nikola Jokic in terms of the MVP. Once again, he puts the critics on notice with this performance. LOB COUNTER: ONE. Julian Champagnie finds a skyscraping Wemby for the alley-oop connection!

On the fastbreak, Julian rifles a laser pass to an open Wemby, who slams it down! Found him 👽📺 @FanDuelSN_SW, @NBAonNBC pic.twitter.com/DY8nUG9yEP— San Antonio Spurs – x (@spurs) March 31, 2026 Just tap it! After Devin Vassell’s pass gets deflected, Dev tips it in the air to a wide-open Wemby, who takes his time on the slam! just as planned 🤣📺 @FanDuelSN_SW, @NBAonNBC pic.twitter.com/g4bye63X7z— San Antonio Spurs – x (@spurs) March 31, 2026 FOX TO THE ALIEN! De’Aaron Fox comes off the screen set by Wemby, catches the ball in the paint, and feeds it back to Wemby for the alley-oop slam!

Wemby goes to work on Leonard Miller and drives through him for the poster slam to clinch his season-high 41! JUST NASTY 🤧📺 @FanDuelSN_SW, @NBAonNBC pic.twitter.com/73xmpRf0ce— San Antonio Spurs – x (@spurs) March 31, 2026 Stephon Castle dropped a near second straight triple-double: 21 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3PT), 10 assists, and eight rebounds to go along with a steal. Steph was two rebounds away from another triple-double, but still made an impact on both ends of the floor. He shot 50% from the field and 50% from three. He also fought his way to the free throw line, but missed four of his 10 free throws. Nonetheless, Steph’s passing ability, especially on lobs, has been exceptional and reminiscent of Chris Paul. AREA 51 ALERT! On the fastbreak, Wemby dishes a sweet dime to a cutting Castle, who slams it down with force! ⚠️ CAUTION: ENTERING AREA 51 ⚠️ 📺 @FanDuelSN_SW, @NBAonNBC pic.twitter.com/BNoUAxaFJB— San Antonio Spurs – x (@spurs) March 31, 2026 AREA 51 AGAIN!

Area 51 starting right back where they left off 😎📺 @FanDuelSN_SW, @NBAonNBC pic.twitter.com/WmXxJWYq1H— San Antonio Spurs – x (@spurs) March 31, 2026 Keldon Johnson dropped 15 points, two rebounds, one assist, and a steal in 26 minutes off the bench. KJ brought the spark that the offense needed when the threes weren’t falling. In his usual cowboy play-style, KJ barreled his way to the cup and bodied defenders who dared to stop him. In recent weeks, KJ has emerged as a favorite for Sixth Man of the Year. In two weeks, the voters will decide to reward him for his excellent and efficient season off the bench. CYCLONE FINISH! KJ spins off of Miller on the fastbreak and finishes at the rim with ease!

KJ gets doubled in the paint and finds an open Luke Kornet under the basket with a sweet dish and dunk! Wiiiiide open 👀📺 @FanDuelSN_SW, @NBAonNBC pic.twitter.com/yCzfsnr6dN— San Antonio Spurs – x (@spurs) March 31, 2026 This game was close early, but as soon as the Spurs put up a sizeable lead, the Bulls could not stop the MVP candidate’s offensive explosion. It is clear that after Wemby grabbed the fastest double-double ever, his teammates made it a mission to feed him the ball by any means necessary. Even when Wemby was doubled, he found the open shooter or cutter and put the Bulls’ defense in a blender. The Spurs have an upcoming West Coast road trip with two play-in teams and one contender. With the Spurs’ offense clicking on all cylinders, they are sure to put up NBA2K numbers this week. Finally, here are the full game highlights. The Spurs travel to San Francisco to take on the Golden State Warriors this Wednesday at 9:00 P.M. on ESPN. ...read more read less
