Overview

  • Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 35 points on 13-of-18 shooting, nine assists and six rebounds in Oklahoma City's 104-102 home win over Boston.
  • The record-setting basket was a 20-foot jumper over Baylor Scheierman with 7:04 left in the third quarter, pushing him to 21 points on the night.
  • Chet Holmgren secured the result with two free throws with 0.8 seconds remaining after grabbing an offensive rebound, extending the Thunder's winning streak to seven.
  • The streak began on Nov. 1, 2024, and during this span he has averaged roughly 35.5 points on 53.5% shooting with five 50-point games, 18 40-point outings and 85 30-point efforts.
  • Wilt Chamberlain's previous mark of 126 consecutive 20-point games ran from 1961 to 1963 before ending due to an ejection, and Gilgeous-Alexander now leads the MVP conversation as Oklahoma City tops the league.
