The streak is the longest in 10 years with an epic comeback against the Raptors
Not even a poor man Victor Vembanyama night shooting on the road could stop San Antonio Spurs from winning their 10th straight game in stunning fashion. Despite Vembanyama shooting 3-12 from the field, his teammates eased up as they stormed back en route to A 110-107 win over the Toronto Raptors on the road.
Vembanjama stepped up in the fourth, making one key defensive play after another and his shot finally hit the highlights of the contest. Former NBA Player of the Year De’Aaron Fox also did his thing, leading a balanced effort toward the end that allowed the Spurs to overturn a deficit that grew to as many as 15 points.
In pulling out a win under unlikely circumstances against a good away team, Spurs’ current winning streak is now their longest since the 2015-16 season, when the legendary quartet of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard were still on the team with new kid on the block LaMarcus Aldridge.
That 2015-16 team won 67 games and was eclipsed only by the Golden State Warriors’ 73-win campaign. That team has historically been great, but they ran into an Oklahoma City Thunder team peaking in the playoffs.
The 2025-26 team certainly showed they have enough pieces to make a deep playoff run, and it helps that they had the Thunder’s number this season.
A young Spurs team is ready for the moment
NBA teams take on the identity of their best player, and Wembanjama being that established alpha who wants to win every game has helped the Spurs build a winning identity very quickly after several losing seasons.
The whole team is coming together, and no team in the West wants to face them in a postseason setting — not when an alien who is Vembanjama is emerging as the undisputed leader of Spurs.
