However, behind Wembanyama, the Spurs don't really have a high-level second option. Devin Vassell once flashed that potential, but after his lackluster start to the season, it's clear that his ceiling is as a third or fourth option on a good team.

Before Monday’s 114-110 Chicago Bulls win over the San Antonio Spurs, Coby White had attempted only two dunks this year. But in the final 30 seconds, he had no choice.

Benny the Bull challenged Victor Wembanyama and his Spurs teammates to a game of chess in the middle of their warmups.

Victor Wembanyama scored 27 points, most of them in the first half, and the Spurs dominated the Clippers 122-86 for their largest margin of victory this season.

In two consecutive fourth quarters, against Denver and Chicago, the Spurs got too complacent, too happy, and too nice, and they paid for it.

Bulls guard Coby White sealed Chicago's comeback 114-110 win over San Antonio on Monday with an emphatic slam dunk over Spurs center Victor Wembanyama.

The Bulls outscored the Spurs 32-15 in the game's final quarter as Chicago rallied from a 79-60 second-half deficit. After the Bulls trailed 97-82 early in the fourth quarter, White gave Chicago its first lead of the game by beating Wembanyama with 47.1 seconds remaining.

The result is a three-game losing streak that matches the team's longest skid of the season. Entering a two-game set against the Lakers (20-16) that begins Saturday and ends Monday, the Spurs (18-19) look to recapture the good vibes they enjoyed at the start of the month.
