SGA breaks Wilt streak
Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander just topped Wilt Chamberlain — he extended a streak to 127 straight games with 20+ points, crediting midrange work inspired by Kobe and Jordan — a generational scoring run that's reshaping OKC's offense [].
In Oklahoma City on March 12, 2026, he sank a 20‑foot jumper with 7:04 remaining in the third quarter to reach the milestone in front of a standing‑ovation crowd. (espn.com) He finished that night with 35 points and nine assists in a 104–102 victory, and Chet Holmgren's two late free throws with under a second left clinched the win. (espn.com.au) The run that produced the milestone began on Nov. 1, 2024, and across the games comprising the stretch he averaged roughly 32.5 points per outing. (espn.com) He matched the long‑standing mark three days earlier against Denver, delivering 35 points with a career‑high 15 assists and nine rebounds while drilling a step‑back 3 with 2.7 seconds left to lift OKC to a 129–126 win. (usnews.com) Oklahoma City has gone 102–24 in games during the span, a run that has coincided with the franchise sitting atop the league standings this season. (espn.com) His efficiency this season — a true‑shooting mark of.669 — would match the highest ever recorded by a 30‑point‑per‑game scorer, a level previously hit by Stephen Curry in 2015–16. (espn.com) The streak has included five 50‑point games, highlighted by a career‑high 55 points in a double‑overtime win over the Indiana Pacers on Oct. 23, 2025 (15‑of‑31 FGs, 23‑of‑26 FTs).
