Shai One Away from Wilt Record
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped 27 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists in OKC's 104-97 win over Golden State — his 125th consecutive 20+ point game. That puts him just one game shy of Wilt Chamberlain's record. Thunder stay atop the Western Conference while Warriors keep fighting for playoff position.
Wilt Chamberlain's all-time record of 126 consecutive games with 20 or more points was set across three seasons, from 1961 to 1963. This historic streak has stood for over 60 years. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's pursuit of Chamberlain's record is a testament to his consistent offensive output. He is currently averaging 31.7 points per game, second in the NBA. The reigning league MVP has been the engine for the Thunder's offense. The Oklahoma City Thunder currently sit in first place in the Western Conference with a record of 49-15 and have already clinched a playoff berth. Their next game is at home against the Denver Nuggets on March 9th. The Golden State Warriors are currently 8th in the Western Conference with a 32-30 record, fighting to stay in the playoff picture. Their next game is on the road against the Utah Jazz on March 9th.
