Bulls use physicality to get the best of ‘Wemby’ and Spurs in Round 2

Spurs rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama came into the game with the Bulls nursing a sore ankle, and it wasn’t the only discomfort he had to play through. The plan with him was physicality, and the Bulls delivered in the 114-95 win.

The introductions were formally made less than 10 days ago, when Victor Wembanyama welcomed the Bulls to the Alamo with a 21-point, 20-rebound game.

On Thursday, the San Antonio rookie sensation found the Bulls far less accommodating in the rematch at the United Center.

Sure, the 7-foot-4, No. 1 overall pick was dealing with a bad ankle that forced him to miss Tuesday’s game in Milwaukee, but that wasn’t the only discomfort he was dealing with in the 114-95 Bulls win.
