Wembanyama records fastest double-double in league history, fueling Spurs to
129-114 win over Bulls

SAN ANTONIO (AP) --- Victor Wembanyama had a season-high 41 points and 16
rebounds while collecting the fastest double-double in NBA history, and the San
Antonio Spurs won their ninth straight, defeating the Chicago Bulls 129-114 on
Monday night.
Wembanyama had 10 points and 10 rebounds in his first 8 minutes, 31 seconds on
the court, collecting his 10th rebound 1:55 into the second quarter. Jim
Washington of the St. Louis Hawks had a double-double in nine minutes against
the New York Knicks on March 6, 1966.
Wembanyama punctuated his season-high with a driving, one-handed dunk for his
final points midway through the fourth quarter. He was 17 for 27 from the field
and 3 for 6 on 3-pointers in scoring at least 30 points for the 14th time this
season.
Stephon Castle added 21 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds for San Antonio,
which has has won nine consecutive games.
Bulls point guard Tre Jones had 23 points in his first game in San Antonio
since being traded to Chicago as part of the deal that brought De'Aaron Fox to
the Spurs. Leonard Miller added 21 points and Collin Sexton had 20 as the Bulls
lost their fourth straight.
San Antonio had six players score in double figures while extending its lead to
29 points in the third quarter.
The Bulls took the court two hours after waiving Jaden Ivey for "conduct
detrimental to the team." Ivey, who is injured, did not travel with the team
during its four-game road trip.
The news didn't impact Chicago early, as an uncontested one-handed slam by
Matas Buzelis gave the Bulls an early 5-2 lead and led to an angry timeout by
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson 71 seconds into the game. San Antonio responded with
a 20-13 run fueled by the start of Wembanyama's early double-double.
