Gilgeous-Alexander's performance against Denver put him in rare company, as he became only the second player in NBA history to record at least 35 points, 15 assists, and zero turnovers in a game. LeBron James was the first to reach that stat line in 2018. The Thunder's victory wasn't just about individual brilliance; Jaylin Williams contributed 29 points and 12 rebounds. Ajay Mitchell also chipped in with 24 points in his return from injury. With his 35 points, Gilgeous-Alexander officially tied Wilt Chamberlain's record of 126 consecutive regular-season games with at least 20 points. Chamberlain set the record between 1961 and 1963. SGA had a chance to break Chamberlain's record on March 12, 2026, against the Boston Celtics. Last season, Gilgeous-Alexander was the MVP and Finals MVP.
