NEW YORK, United States, November 12, 2026: Victor Wembanyama carried the San Antonio Spurs to their tenth consecutive NBA victory after a remarkable 22-point comeback against Chicago, while Stephen Curry’s injury exit overshadowed Houston’s 115-108 win over Golden State on a dramatic ten-game Wednesday night. The Los Angeles Lakers extended their winning streak to seven behind Luka Dončić, Portland defeated Oklahoma City for the second consecutive night, and Boston recovered from a 22-point deficit to escape Toronto.
The results exposed sharply contrasting fortunes across the league. San Antonio and Los Angeles strengthened their positions among the Western Conference leaders, Golden State’s eight-game streak ended with uncertainty surrounding Curry’s fitness, and the Celtics maintained their Eastern Conference momentum. Elsewhere, Cleveland ended New York’s winning run, Brooklyn delivered the night’s biggest victory, and Orlando’s Franz Wagner matched his career-high 38 points.

Portland Trail Blazers 118, Oklahoma City Thunder 108
San Antonio’s tenth consecutive victory required its most dramatic recovery of the young season.
Chicago led 64-42 midway through the second quarter after opening the game with exceptionally accurate perimeter shooting. The Bulls made ten of their first 12 three-point attempts and scored 41 points in the opening period, repeatedly finding opportunities before San Antonio’s defense could settle.
The 22-point advantage appeared substantial, but the Spurs gradually reduced the deficit before halftime and then took control through a decisive defensive adjustment.
San Antonio opened the third quarter with an 18-3 run, exploiting five Chicago turnovers during the surge. The Bulls, who had enjoyed considerable freedom to attack early, suddenly struggled to organize possessions against the Spurs’ increased defensive pressure.
Wembanyama finished with 32 points, nine rebounds and five blocks, continuing an exceptional stretch that included his 40-point, nine-block performance against Phoenix earlier in the week.
Second-year guard Dylan Harper contributed 18 points, ten assists and four steals, providing an important secondary playmaking presence. De’Aaron Fox added 17 points and nine assists.
Chicago received 23 points from Jalen Smith and 17 from Nic Claxton, but its early shooting accuracy proved unsustainable. The Spurs secured control with an 11-2 fourth-quarter run and completed a perfect four-game road trip.
The most revealing figure was Chicago’s 19 turnovers compared with San Antonio’s six. That 13-turnover difference helped explain how the Spurs overcame a game in which they had been comprehensively outplayed during the opening stretch.
The official Spurs-Bulls game statistics show San Antonio scoring 22 points from turnovers against Chicago’s seven.
Wembanyama’s latest performance follows his extraordinary 52-point, 24-rebound display against Dallas, examined in The Sports Encounter’s earlier NBA analysis.
San Antonio’s latest victory demonstrated something different. Rather than overwhelming an opponent from the start, the Spurs recovered through defensive discipline, timely adjustments and a broader contribution from their guards.
Curry’s Injury Exit Overshadows Rockets Victory Against Warriors
Houston Rockets 115, Golden State Warriors 108
Golden State’s eight-game winning streak ended in Houston, but the result was only part of the Warriors’ concern.
Stephen Curry left during the first quarter with right abdominal soreness after playing approximately six minutes. He scored three points before departing and did not return.
Houston capitalized on the absence of Golden State’s leading offensive organizer, although the Warriors remained competitive deep into the final quarter.
Kevin Durant scored 20 points against his former team, while Alperen Şengün contributed 19 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists. Amen Thompson added 19 points.
The Warriors received an impressive response from rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, who scored 25 points and collected ten rebounds. Brandin Podziemski added 22 points, helping Golden State remain within striking distance despite Curry’s departure.
Houston held a nine-point advantage early in the fourth quarter before Golden State reduced the deficit to three through consecutive three-pointers.
The Rockets answered with an eight-point run featuring an alley-oop finish from Thompson and two three-pointers by Reed Sheppard. That response restored control at a stage when Golden State threatened to complete an unlikely comeback.
Marcus Smart was also ejected during the third quarter following an altercation with Charles Bassey, adding another disciplinary complication to an already difficult evening for Golden State.
The Warriors’ official game box score confirms the 115-108 result and Lendeborg’s 25-point contribution.
Curry had entered the contest averaging more than 30 points per game. His absence therefore removed an established scoring threat and one of the primary creators of opportunities for his teammates.
Golden State had recently demonstrated its offensive depth during a 138-87 demolition of New Orleans, a performance covered in TSE’s report on the Warriors’ 51-point victory.
Against Houston, the rookie contributions were encouraging, but they could not fully replace Curry’s influence.
An MRI evaluation was pending following the game. The severity of Curry’s injury and any potential absence had not been established at the time of reporting.
Golden State’s immediate challenge is a visit to San Antonio, where the Spurs will be attempting to extend the league’s longest active winning streak.
Dončić Keeps Lakers Winning as Milwaukee’s Troubles Deepen
Los Angeles Lakers 123, Milwaukee Bucks 112
Luka Dončić scored 32 points, adding five rebounds and five assists, as the Lakers claimed their seventh consecutive victory and improved to 11-2.
Los Angeles established an 11-point halftime advantage and extended the margin to as many as 21 during the third quarter, repeatedly exploiting Milwaukee’s defensive rebounding difficulties.
Sandro Mamukelashvili supplied 23 points against his former team, giving the Lakers another valuable scoring contribution beyond Dončić.
Tyler Herro led Milwaukee with 27 points and seven assists, while Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored 25 off the bench.
One of the clearest distinctions came from second-chance scoring. Los Angeles produced 31 second-chance points compared with Milwaukee’s six, a 25-point difference that exceeded the final winning margin of 11.
That gap illustrated the cost of Milwaukee’s inability to finish defensive possessions with rebounds.
The Lakers’ victory continued the momentum established when Dončić scored 32 points and added ten assists against Atlanta, helping Los Angeles secure its sixth straight win. That performance featured prominently in TSE’s earlier consolidated NBA report.
Milwaukee, meanwhile, suffered its eighth consecutive defeat and fell to 1-11. The Bucks have enough individual scoring ability to remain competitive for stretches, but their recurring defensive problems continue to undermine those contributions.
Portland Beats Oklahoma City Again as Avdija Takes Charge
Portland Trail Blazers 118, Oklahoma City Thunder 108
For the second consecutive night, Portland defeated Oklahoma City at Moda Center, completing a remarkable two-game sequence against one of the Western Conference’s established contenders.
Deni Avdija led the Trail Blazers with 28 points, six assists and four steals. Jrue Holiday added 19 points, including five three-pointers, while Sidy Cissoko contributed another 19.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 31 for Oklahoma City, and Isaiah Hartenstein recorded 20 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.
The result followed Portland’s 123-103 victory over the Thunder on Tuesday, when Damian Lillard scored 25 points and Avdija added 24.
Before these back-to-back wins, Portland had lost 19 of its previous 20 meetings with Oklahoma City.
That historical context makes the two victories significant. Portland did not merely produce one exceptional performance. It defeated the same opponent twice in consecutive games while relying on different leading offensive contributors.
The first victory and Lillard’s influence were examined in TSE’s report on Tuesday’s six-game NBA schedule.
Portland’s developing confidence has been apparent since Lillard’s return to the franchise. His first regular-season appearance featured an extraordinary 21-0 opening run against Phoenix, detailed in TSE’s report on the Trail Blazers’ dominant home opener.
Wednesday’s victory offered another demonstration of the team’s potential, with Avdija providing scoring, playmaking and defensive disruption against an elite opponent.
Celtics Erase 22-Point Deficit to Escape Toronto
Boston Celtics 98, Toronto Raptors 93
Boston produced the night’s other 22-point comeback, overturning a disastrous first half to extend its winning streak to five games.
Toronto made ten three-pointers in the first quarter and led 59-37 midway through the second, exploiting Boston’s defensive lapses and playing with considerably greater offensive rhythm.
The Celtics responded with 16 consecutive points, including the first ten from Jayson Tatum, to reduce the deficit before halftime.
Tatum finished with 24 points, eight assists and seven rebounds despite shooting just six of 21 from the field.
He was especially important in the final moments, making the tying and go-ahead free throws with 25.2 seconds remaining.
Boston had trailed 93-90 with one minute remaining but scored the final eight points to complete the comeback.
Derrick White scored 19, Payton Pritchard contributed 14, and Neemias Queta collected 11 points and 13 rebounds.
Toronto’s Ja’Kobe Walter led the home side with 17 points.
The Raptors’ perimeter shooting tells much of the story. After making ten of 18 three-point attempts in the opening quarter, Toronto connected on only six of 25 over the remaining three periods.
Boston also won despite missing Paul George through illness, one night after his 36-point performance against Philadelphia.
Toronto remained without Kawhi Leonard, whose recovery from left knee swelling and uncertain return timetable were examined in TSE’s report on the Raptors’ injury difficulties.
The Celtics improved to 10-2, strengthening their position near the top of the Eastern Conference standings.
Harden’s 32 Points Help Cavaliers End Knicks’ Winning Run
Cleveland Cavaliers 115, New York Knicks 107
James Harden delivered his highest-scoring performance of the season, finishing with 32 points and five three-pointers as Cleveland defeated New York at Madison Square Garden.
Harden entered the game following a difficult scoring stretch, making the performance particularly important for a Cavaliers team seeking greater consistency.
Donovan Mitchell contributed 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists, providing Cleveland with another dependable source of offense.
Jalen Brunson scored 27 for the Knicks, but New York could not extend its four-game winning streak.
The result followed the Knicks’ emphatic 117-85 victory over Milwaukee, when Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns led an offense that had appeared to be finding its rhythm.
Against Cleveland, New York encountered an opponent whose leading guards created enough offense to withstand Brunson’s contribution.
For the Cavaliers, the important question is whether Harden’s return to form can become consistent rather than remaining an isolated scoring performance.
Murray and Jokić Keep Nuggets Ahead of Memphis
Denver Nuggets 123, Memphis Grizzlies 118
Jamal Murray scored 30 points and supplied eight assists as Denver held off Memphis in one of the evening’s closest contests.
Seventeen of Murray’s points came in the fourth quarter, helping the Nuggets preserve a lead that had appeared much more comfortable earlier in the game.
Nikola Jokić contributed 27 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, narrowly missing another triple-double. Cameron Johnson added 23.
Denver led by as many as 18 in the first half but allowed Memphis to reduce the margin to two points during the final minute.
Ty Jerome and Jaylen Wells scored 22 points apiece for the Grizzlies, while Cedric Coward and Cameron Boozer recorded double-doubles.
The Nuggets led throughout but were forced to execute under late pressure. Murray’s fourth-quarter scoring proved essential as Memphis threatened to complete the comeback.
For Denver, the victory was its fifth in seven games. Memphis, meanwhile, suffered its fourth consecutive home defeat, raising questions about its ability to sustain the strong start it had enjoyed earlier in the season.
Brooklyn Scores 145 in the Night’s Biggest Victory
Brooklyn Nets 145, New Orleans Pelicans 111
Continue the NBA Story
Brooklyn produced the highest team total of Wednesday’s schedule, overwhelming New Orleans by 34 points.
Michael Porter Jr. and Egor Demin scored 22 points each, with Demin making four three-pointers.
Zion Williamson led New Orleans with 29 points, but his contribution could not compensate for the Pelicans’ defensive problems.
The result was particularly damaging for New Orleans because it followed a 51-point defeat against Golden State earlier in the week.
Across those two losses, the Pelicans conceded 283 points while scoring only 198. The combined 85-point deficit underlines the scale of their defensive difficulties, although it does not by itself identify one tactical cause.
Brooklyn’s 145 points also showed how quickly opponents have been able to establish scoring momentum against the Pelicans.
For the Nets, the victory was an encouraging offensive performance. Sustaining that production against stronger defensive opponents will provide a clearer indication of whether it represents genuine improvement.
Wagner Matches Career High as Magic Extend Utah’s Misery
Orlando Magic 123, Utah Jazz 108
Franz Wagner matched his career high with 38 points as Orlando secured its second consecutive victory.
Wagner added eight rebounds and connected on three three-pointers, while Desmond Bane contributed 25 points with seven successful shots from beyond the arc.
Darryn Peterson led Utah with 20 points, four rebounds and five assists.
The Magic’s offensive balance was important. Wagner supplied the leading individual performance, while Bane’s perimeter scoring gave Utah another major threat to defend.
Orlando improved to 4-7 after also defeating Sacramento earlier in the week.
Utah fell to 1-11, suffering its tenth consecutive defeat. The Jazz have struggled to turn promising individual performances into wins, and their latest defeat reinforced the difficulty of sustaining defensive resistance against opponents with multiple productive scorers.
Siakam Gives Pacers Their First Home Victory
Indiana Pacers 114, Washington Wizards 101
Indiana finally secured its first home victory of the season as Pascal Siakam scored 28 points, adding eight rebounds and five assists.
Siakam also converted all 12 of his free throws, maintaining offensive efficiency while the Pacers gradually established control.
Ivica Zubac contributed 20 points and 12 rebounds, while Andrew Nembhard recorded 17 points and ten assists.
Washington received 25 points and nine rebounds from Kyshawn George. Anthony Davis added 21 points and 13 rebounds, but the Wizards could not match Indiana’s collective production.
The Pacers improved to 4-8, moving level with Washington’s record.
Although both teams remain in difficult early-season positions, the victory offers Indiana an opportunity to build confidence after repeated home setbacks.
What the Ten Results Reveal About the NBA’s Early-Season Race
The most significant development was the contrast between the Western Conference’s strongest winning runs.
San Antonio extended its streak to ten despite trailing by 22. Los Angeles reached seven consecutive victories through sustained offensive production and a substantial rebounding advantage. Golden State’s eight-game streak ended after Curry departed early.
Portland’s consecutive victories over Oklahoma City added another complication to the conference picture. The Trail Blazers have demonstrated they can defeat a contender through different combinations of scorers, although two head-to-head victories do not establish superiority over an entire season.
In the East, Boston continued to find ways to win despite injuries and inconsistent shooting. Cleveland’s victory over New York suggested another established contender may be capable of improving its early-season position.
The two 22-point comebacks also produced a useful tactical comparison. San Antonio reversed Chicago’s advantage through defensive pressure and turnover creation. Boston recovered against Toronto as the Raptors’ extraordinary early three-point shooting declined and Tatum took control of the closing possessions.
Those differences matter more than simply noting identical comeback margins.
The clearest unresolved question concerns Golden State. Curry’s injury evaluation will influence how the Warriors prepare for their next game against San Antonio, especially after the Rockets demonstrated how difficult it can be to maintain offensive consistency without their leading scorer.
Wednesday’s results therefore leave the Western Conference with an intriguing contrast: the Spurs have strengthened their case through ten consecutive wins, Portland has emerged as a dangerous opponent for Oklahoma City, the Lakers continue to build momentum, and the Warriors face their first significant interruption after an eight-game winning run.
