Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Reaches 93 Straight 20-Point Games, Passing Wilt for No. 2 All-Time

Oklahoma City’s 20-1 start underscores a record chase that now trails only Wilt Chamberlain’s 126-game benchmark.

Overview

  • Gilgeous-Alexander scored 26 points on 8-of-15 shooting to extend his streak to 93 consecutive games with at least 20 points, moving past Wilt Chamberlain’s 92 for second place in NBA history.
  • He had 16 points with four minutes left before a 10-point closing surge preserved the streak and helped secure a 123-115 road win over Portland.
  • The Thunder improved to 20-1 with their 12th straight victory, with Chet Holmgren adding 19 points, Jalen Williams 16, and Ajay Mitchell 17 off the bench.
  • Schedule-based estimates suggest he would need 34 more games to tie and 35 to surpass Chamberlain’s 126-game record, with Feb. 12 vs. the Bucks cited as a potential date if he stays healthy and keeps scoring 20-plus.
  • The run has reordered the historical list, as he previously surpassed Michael Jordan’s 72-game mark and pushed Oscar Robertson’s 79-game streak down the rankings, drawing praise from teammate Jalen Williams.
