San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama poured in 41 points and 18 rebounds in a 127-113 road victory over the depleted Golden State Warriors, reigniting his MVP campaign. Speaking to ESPN's Scott Van Pelt, Wembanyama declared the award a priority, stating he wants to emulate Hall of Famers who seized every opportunity early in their careers. The Spurs' dominance continues, winning 10 straight games overall and 15 consecutive contests featuring Wembanyama, who averages 27.9 points and 12.3 rebounds during that stretch.

His 15-rebound games now total five straight, matching the longest streak by a Spurs player since Dennis Rodman in 1995.
