Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Breaks Wilt Chamberlain Mark With 127th Straight 20-Point Game

The active run underscores his sustained scoring role for Oklahoma City during a season crowded with individual outbursts.

Overview

  • He set the record in the Thunder's 104–102 win over the Celtics, hitting the 20-point threshold on a midrange jumper with 7:04 left in the third quarter.
  • He finished the game with 35 points, six rebounds, nine assists, two steals and three blocks.
  • The streak began on November 1, 2024 and remains active, with Gilgeous-Alexander averaging roughly 32.5 points per game during the span.
  • Wilt Chamberlain held the prior mark at 126 consecutive games and no other player has reached 100, with notable bests including Oscar Robertson (79), Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant (72), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (71), Kobe Bryant (63) and LeBron James (49).
  • The benchmark covers regular-season contests only, and Thunder coach Mark Daigneault praised the guard's refusal to ease up as league scorelines also featured Bam Adebayo's 83 and Luka Dončić's 51.
