Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs have now lost a franchise-worst 17 straight games. (AP/Eric Gay)Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs have dropped to a new historic low.The Spurs fell to the Houston Rockets 93-82 on Monday night at the Toyota Center. That marked the team’s 17th straight loss, which set a new franchise record.The Spurs dropped their 16th straight game in a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, which tied their franchise record. That dropped them to just 3-18 on the year, which marked the worst start in franchise history through 21 games. Wembanyama still had 21 points and 20 rebounds in that loss to the Bulls, however, which made him the youngest player in league history with a 20-point, 20-rebound game.The Rockets led for much of the second half on Monday night, and mounted a 12-4 run midway through the third quarter before holding on late to grab the 11-point win. Houston held the Spurs to just 15 points in the third quarter, too, which has been an area of concern for the franchise. The Spurs entered Monday being outscored by 146 points in the third quarter alone, which was just 10-points shy of the league-worst mark the Miami Heat had last season.Wembanyama led the Spurs with 15 points and 18 rebounds in the loss, and he shot 7-of-15 from the field. He also had a ridiculous dunk over Rockets center Alperen Sengun in the second half.Devin Vassell added 14 points for the Spurs, and Malaki Branham finished with 13 points and seven assists. The Spurs shot an awful 5-of-41 from the 3-point line as a team, which is just better than 12%.Tari Eason led the Rockets with 18 points and 14 rebounds off the bench. Fred VanVleet added 16 points, 10 of which came in the first half, and Sengun finished with 15 points and nine rebounds. Houston shot just 34.4% from the field as a team. The win marked their 10th straight at home.While the Spurs’ losing streak is bad, they’ve still got a ways to go to set the NBA’s all-time record. The Philadelphia 76ers lost 28 straight games from the end of the 2014-15 campaign into the start of the 2015-16 season. The 76ers also hold the single-season losing streak record at 26 games during the 2013-14 season. The Spurs’ losing streak isn’t even the worst active streak in the league right now. The Detroit Pistons dropped their 20th straight loss on Monday when they fell to the Indiana Pacers, which is just one game back from the longest such streak in their franchise history.The Spurs will have a chance to snap their losing skid on Wednesday when they host the Los Angeles Lakers.

Pacers come from behind to defeat Bulls after 24-point lead

The Chicago Bulls fell to a fifth consecutive loss after blowing a 24-point lead against the Indiana Pacers, losing 117-113 in their latest NBA fixture. The Bulls had been looking to snap their losing streak and make a statement without the services of All-Star DeMar DeRozan, who was sidelined due to a Grade 1 quad strain. However, they ultimately suffered another second-half collapse as the Pacers rallied to snatch a dramatic victory. Chicago coach Billy Donovan called for more heart and focus from his team in crunch moments, urging his players to execute more precisely on both ends of the court. Without DeRozan, the Bulls needed someone to step up and play like an All-Star, and Zach LaVine did his best to fill the void. The guard put up an impressive 35 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, but his final efforts to give his team a vital win came up short. LaVine missed a potential game-winning shot and then airballed a three-pointer on the Bulls' final possession of the game. The Bulls had made a strong start to the game, outscoring the Pacers 39-15 in the opening quarter. However, they failed to sustain their momentum as they lost the next two quarters, with the Pacers wiping out their 23-point third-quarter lead. Buddy Hield was the main man responsible for Indiana's comeback, scoring 19 of his 27 points in the third period alone, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer. Despite the loss, the Bulls showed some encouraging signs in the game. Alex Caruso stepped in for DeRozan and played with the same defensive ferocity that has become his trademark, while the team's young players also made important contributions. Chicago forced 19 Pacers turnovers, with Caruso, Coby White, and Patrick Williams all recording multiple steals. The team also found their three-point shooting form, going 15-for-35 from beyond the arc. The Bulls will hope to regroup during the All-Star break after their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. LaVine emphasized the importance of the break in giving the team a mental rest and recharging their batteries ahead of the second half of the season. However, they will need to address their second-half woes and find a way to close out games more effectively if they are to achieve their goals this season. Read the full article
