Key
Player Matchups to Watch
Victor Wembanyama vs. Chicago frontcourt (Buzelis / limited bigs): Wemby’s elite scoring/rebounding/rim protection should overwhelm a thin, injury-hit Bulls interior.
De’Aaron Fox / Stephon Castle vs. Bulls guards (Sexton / Giddey / fill-ins): Spurs’ speed and playmaking vs. Chicago’s depleted perimeter defense.
Matas Buzelis (Bulls’ young star) vs. Spurs wings: Buzelis has shown flashes (29 pts recently), but faces an uphill battle against San Antonio’s length and team defense.
Rebounding & Pace: Spurs dominate the glass and push tempo; Bulls must avoid turnovers and second-chance points to stay competitive.
San Antonio’s superstar talent and depth create multiple mismatches across the floor.
Series History (2025-26 Season)
2025-26: Spurs lead 1-0 (Nov 10: SAS 121-117 win @ CHI).
All-time: Spurs lead regular-season series significantly (60-42).
