If you missed the run, the Spurs have won nine straight after a 1-2 start, and they play at the Bulls in Chicago on Wed., Nov. 11.
The standout was Wed., Nov. 4, when Victor Wembanyama put up career highs in a 112-111 win over Dallas. He was the first player since 1996-97 with at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in a half, and Kyrie Irving's 15-foot jumper missed with three seconds left.
