The San Antonio Spurs beat the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night by a score of 124-119. The NBA X account reported that this win that gave them 10 in a row now puts them next to the 2017-18 Boston Celtics as the only teams to start 0-2 and win 10 straight games. This is an impressive stat considering that the Spurs looked dead in the water through the first two games. Now on a 10-game win streak, they have looked dominant.

Over the past 10 wins, the Spurs have dominated the paint. Victor Wembanyama has been playing a dominant game, currently averaging his most points per game in his career. During the win streak, Wembanyama is averaging 32.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks per game. He struggled in the first two games, and everyone was very critical of him. Ever since those games, he has dominated both ends of the floor.

On top of Wembanyama being dominant, Dylan Harper has been a consistent scorer for this team. He is shooting the three-pointer really well and finishing at the rim better than anyone. Fox has also been playing well and has been a reliable shooter for the Spurs. Julian Champagnie has been knocking down threes. It seems like San Antonio has found it again and now looks like a contender once again. They started going to the paint more and getting good looks at threes out of it, and it’s been working.

Only Two Teams in NBA History

San Antonio can now say they are one of two teams to start 0-2 and go on a 10-game win streak. That is an incredible turnaround after how they lost the first two games. The only other team to do this was the 2017-18 Celtics. These are teams that had a quick turnaround after a rough start. The 0-2 part may not sound that great, but it shows a team that was able to make adjustments and fix some things to start winning.

The Spurs have a tough matchup with the Golden State Warriors coming up on Friday. This will be a chance to make it 11 in a row. The Warriors may be without superstar point guard Stephen Curry, as he appeared to get injured against the Rockets Wednesday night. Whether he plays or not, the Spurs will still need to be ready to play. They can not take the Warriors lightly even without Curry.
