Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores 51 in Thunder's 50th Win of the Season

The NBA's leading scorer delivered his fourth 50-point game in seven weeks as Oklahoma City defeated Houston 137-128.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 51 points, shooting 18 of 30 from the field and a perfect 10 of 10 from the free-throw line.
This marks Gilgeous-Alexander's fourth 50-point game of the season, all occurring within the past seven weeks, the shortest span for a player's first four such games in NBA history.
The Thunder improved to a league-best 50-11 record, taking control in the third quarter after trailing by nine in the second quarter.
Houston's Cam Whitmore and Reed Sheppard set career highs with 27 and 25 points respectively, but the Rockets were missing key players due to injuries.
Lu Dort's back-to-back three-pointers in the fourth quarter helped secure the Thunder's win, extending their dominance at home to 27-4.
