Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 20-Point Streak Reaches 101 After Memphis Milestone

His pursuit of Wilt Chamberlain’s 126-game mark is prompting coach praise, LeBron’s tactical advice, plus officiating scrutiny.

Overview

  • SGA joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only players with 100 straight 20-point games, hitting the mark with 31 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in a 119-103 win over the Grizzlies.
  • He followed with 33 points in a 130-110 loss to the Spurs, extending the streak to 101 consecutive games with at least 20 points.
  • Thunder coach Mark Daigneault lauded his star’s preparation and habits, calling him “ruthlessly consistent” and crediting his commitment to craft and team.
  • LeBron James compared SGA’s foul-drawing pressure to prime James Harden and said the best counter is keeping him off the free throw line.
  • A late step-back sequence against Memphis drew disagreement over a potential travel as replays circulated and league social channels highlighted the play.
