Victor Wembanyama Stats Tonight: How did the Spurs star fare against Chicago Bulls? (Jan. 6)

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs opened a four-game road swing on Monday with a matchup against the Chicago Bulls. The Spurs hoped to bounce back from a 122-111 overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.

Wembanyama's biggest impact came on the defensive end early in the game. He blocked two shots and altered a few more around the rim, forcing attackers to hesitate before driving to the paint.

Wemby stuffed the stat sheet in the first quarter to help the San Antonio Spurs grab a 29-20 lead. He had three points, five rebounds, two assists and two blocks.

Victor Wembanyama had an impressive second quarter. He added nine points, including a five-point flurry when the Chicago Bulls trimmed the Spurs' lead to nine points. He finished the first half with 12 points, nine rebounds, four blocks and three assists.

Victor Wembanyama scored 10 points, grabbed four rebounds and blocked one shot in the third quarter to tow his team to a 95-82 advantage. The Chicago Bulls did not consistently send double teams against the Frenchman and he punished them for that decision.

Wemby could not sustain his impressive third quarter as he and the Spurs wilted in the final frame. The Bulls outscored their visitors 32-15 to pull off a come-from-behind 114-110 victory.
