Stopped at 43 consecutive games! Bunyama’s NBA record was interrupted

On October 25, 2025, the Spurs played against the Pelicans on the court. The game was quite close, with the maximum point difference being only 9 points. After the fourth quarter, the two sides were tied and entered overtime. At the beginning of the overtime, Vunbanyama was called for a foul when he tried to block a shot. He fouled out 6 times. Without Vunbanyama, Vassell, Champany, and Castle jointly scored. The Spurs finally defeated the Pelicans 120-116.

Wenbanyama played 32 minutes in this battle, making 13 of 23 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 29 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 9 blocks. His blocking performance was so good that 3 of his 9 blocks were given to Zion. Since Bunyama's weight and muscles have increased this summer, and his confrontation ability has improved significantly, it is already difficult for Zion to use his body to beat Bunyama and then lay up. If he forces a shot at this time, he will be blocked.

Bunbanyama led the Spurs to defeat the Pelicans and win the first two consecutive games. This is a gratifying thing, but one of Bunyama's NBA records was also interrupted today. What record is it?

Before this battle, Bunyama created a feat of at least 1 three-pointer and 1 block in 43 consecutive games, setting a unique NBA record. The second-ranked player in history is Pazin's 21 consecutive games. Today against the Pelicans, although Wenban had 9 blocks, he made 0 of 3 three-pointers. His NBA record was interrupted and stopped at 43 consecutive games.

Wenbanyama has improved his confrontation ability this summer. After the start of the new season, he has scored more inside. His three-point attempts have dropped sharply compared to last season. Last season, Wenbanyama averaged 8.8 three-pointers per game and made 3.1 shots per game. In the 2 games this season, Wenbanyama only averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game and made 0.5 three-pointers.

Although the three-point output dropped sharply, Wenbanyama's power increased greatly. In the opening game, he faced the combination of Big Eyebrow + Lively. He made 15 of 21 (1 of 2 three-pointers), 9 of 11 free throws, scored 40 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 blocks, leading the Spurs to a 33-point victory over the Mavericks. Today, he scored 29 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 9 blocks. Wenbanyama has begun to show his true dominance inside. Such Wenbanyama no longer needs to shoot a lot of three-pointers.
