March 30, 2026 | Frost Bank Center, San Antonio, TX | 7:00 PM CDT | NBC Sports Chicago
The Chicago Bulls (28โ43) travel to San Antonio to face the Spurs (31โ40) at Frost Bank Center tonight, and this is our chance to see Victor Wembanyama up close on the road. Theyโre 12th in the West and rebuilding around arguably the most talented young player in basketball. Weโre 11th in the East and fifteen games under .500 with our season over.
The Spurs have Wembanyamaโa 7โ4โณ generational talent who can do everything. Devin Vassell provides perimeter shooting. Jeremy Sochan brings defensive energy. Theyโre young, exciting, and playing at home.
Weโre trying to keep up with DeMar DeRozanโs mid-range game and hoping Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton get hot from three. Against Wembanyamaโs rim protection and length on the road, thatโs going to be tough.
For Bulls fans, this is our chance to see Wembanyama on the roadโand maybe steal a win against another young, rebuilding team.
Where the Bulls Stand (Still Bad)
Record: 28โ43 (11th in East)
Weโre fifteen games under .500, and the seasonโs been over for weeks. The defense is terrible (120.6 points allowed per game). The rebounding is awful (42.7 per game vs San Antonioโs 47.3). On the road against Wembanyama, both weaknesses will get exposed.
Key Players:
- DeMar DeRozan: Still getting his mid-range buckets, needs a big game on the road
- Anfernee Simons: Inconsistent all seasonโdesperately needs to show up
- Collin Sexton: Provides energy off the bench, but not enough
Billy Donovan keeps preaching defense and execution. Against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs on the road, weโll need perfection just to stay competitive.
The San Antonio Spurs: Rebuilding Around a Generational Talent
Record: 31โ40 (12th in West)
The Spurs are rebuilding, but they have Victor Wembanyamaโa 7โ4โณ generational talent who does everything. He protects the rim, shoots threes, handles the ball, passes, and dominates on both ends. Devin Vassell is a quality perimeter shooter. Jeremy Sochan brings defensive energy.
Key Players:
- Victor Wembanyama (C): Generational 7โ4โณ talent who does everything on both ends
- Devin Vassell (G/F): Quality perimeter shooter and secondary scorer
- Jeremy Sochan (F): Defensive-minded forward with energy
The Numbers:
- 112.8 points per game (developing offense)
- 115.2 points allowed per game (solid defense with Wembanyama)
- 47.3 rebounds per game (dominate the glass with Wembanyamaโs length)
- Young, energetic, playing at home
Theyโre rebuilding, but Wembanyama changes everything at home. Heโs that good.
Breaking Down the Matchup
| Category | Bulls | Spurs |
|---|---|---|
| Points Per Game | 114.5 | 112.8 |
| Points Allowed | 120.6 | 115.2 |
| Assists Per Game | 29.0 | 26.7 |
| 3-Pointers Made | 14.4 | 12.9 |
| Rebounding | 42.7 | 47.3 |
We score slightly more. They defend better thanks to Wembanyama. They rebound way better with Wembanyamaโs length. We pass more and shoot more threes.
But Victor Wembanyama is a game-changer at home. His rim protection and length will affect everything we try to do.
What the Bulls Need to Do on the Road
DeMar DeRozan Has to Be Perfect
Against Wembanyamaโs rim protection on the road, DeMar needs to use his mid-range game perfectly. 35+ points would give us a chance.
Hit Threes at an Elite Clip
If Simons, Sexton, and our shooters can knock down 18+ threes at 45%+, we have a puncherโs chance on the road. If we go cold, weโre getting blown out.
Someone Has to Minimize Victor Wembanyama
This is basically impossible. Wembanyama is 7โ4โณ and can do everything at home. But make him work. Donโt let him dominate easily.
Win the Rebounding Battle (Not Happening)
Wembanyamaโs length will dominate the glass. We canโt let them get easy offensive rebounds.
Donโt Get Embarrassed on the Road
Theyโre rebuilding too. Both teams are bad. But if Wembanyama makes us look silly on the road, thatโs embarrassing.
What San Antonio Will Bring
Victor Wembanyama will dominate at home with rim protection, blocks, threes, handles, and passing. Devin Vassell will knock down perimeter shots. Jeremy Sochan will bring defensive energy.
Wembanyamaโs length and talent will be on full display at home. Heโs that special.
Bulls Fan Prediction: We Get Handled on the Road
Final Score: Spurs 112, Bulls 106
DeMar DeRozan battles and drops 34 points, but Wembanyamaโs rim protection makes him work for everything. Anfernee Simons gets hot briefly and scores 24. We hang around for a half behind three-point shooting.
But Victor Wembanyama dominates at homeโ26 points, 15 rebounds, 6 blocks, showing why heโs generational. Devin Vassell adds 25. The Spursโ length and Wembanyamaโs impact pull away late.
Six-point loss on the road. We compete, but Wembanyamaโs too good.
Why This Game Matters (Even Though Weโre Probably Losing)
Weโre 11th in the East. The seasonโs over. But this is Victor Wembanyama on the roadโa generational talent we might not see up close often.
And weโre both rebuilding teams. If we can compete with them, thatโs something.
DeMar DeRozan deserves to compete. And maybeโjust maybeโwe can catch them on an off night on the road.
Realistically? Weโre getting beaten on the road by a generational talent. But itโs basketball. Anything can happen.
See Red. Letยดs go Bulls!!!
