dailyloe.com – Victor Wembanyama delivered a historic performance for the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. He led his team to a 129-114 victory over the Chicago Bulls. This marked the Spurs’ ninth consecutive win.
Wembanyama achieved a double-double in just eight minutes and thirty-one seconds. He scored 10 points and secured 10 rebounds in that brief opening stint. His tenth rebound came just 1:55 into the second quarter.
This feat is officially the third-fastest double-double since the 1997-98 season. Only Boban Marjanovic (8:13) and Jonas Valanciunas (8:08) accomplished it quicker. The data comes from the Elias Sports Bureau’s play-by-play era records.
The French phenom finished with a season-high 41 points and 16 rebounds. He shot 17-for-27 from the field and 3-for-6 from three-point range. The 27 field goal attempts were also a personal season high.
Wembanyama punctuated his night with a driving one-handed dunk in the fourth quarter. This was his 14th game this season scoring at least 30 points. His dominant play continues to anchor the Spurs’ impressive winning streak.[]
