SAN ANTONIO — \u2014 Victor Wembanyama<\/a> had a season-high 41 points and 16 rebounds while collecting the fastest double-double in NBA history, and the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> won their ninth straight, defeating the Chicago Bulls<\/a> 129-114 on Monday night.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> on March 6, 1966.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Stephon Castle<\/a> added 21 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds for San Antonio, which has has won nine consecutive games.<\/p>\n

Bulls point guard Tre Jones<\/a> 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<\/a> to the Spurs. Leonard Miller<\/a> added 21 points and Collin Sexton<\/a> had 20 as the Bulls lost their fourth straight.<\/p>\n

San Antonio had six players score in double figures while extending its lead to 29 points in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The Bulls took the court two hours after waiving <\/a>Jaden Ivey<\/a> for \u201cconduct detrimental to the team.\u201d Ivey, who is injured<\/a>, did not travel with the team during its four-game road trip.<\/p>\n

The news didn’t impact Chicago early, as an uncontested one-handed slam by Matas Buzelis<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n
