Shai Gilgeous-Alexander keeps his 20-point streak going
As Thunder broke the spell, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was paradoxically in difficulties. After a 10-point first quarter, the 2025 MVP will go through the tunnel.
Between the end of the second and the first half of the third quarter, he will miss no less than nine shots in a row! From then on, with his 12 points with 18 minutes left in the game, his 20-plus point streak was in serious jeopardy…
There was still a lot of time left for him to maintain his streak, but the result indicated that he would not stay on the floor for long. The reigning champions then had a 23-point advantage and the game seemed to be won. By scoring three consecutive shots, “SGA” will finally reach 19 points and then the difference is 30 points.
Did Mark Deno intentionally leave his leader on the floor with that in mind? “We don’t talk about it. We play until we feel comfortable in the face of the opponent’s small chances to get back into the game.”, is justified Thunder coach. “That’s how we did it in this part.”
A record for February 20?
We don’t have to believe the coach as the Canadian reached the 20-point mark two minutes into the third quarter, on the final free throw, before joining the bench and never leaving the bench for the final 14 minutes of the game. In this quarter, when the game ended, he scored 11 shots. How can I blame him? Thus, he compiled his 121st game in a row with 20 or more points and is even closer to the NBA record.
The latter still holds Wilt Chamberlain’s 126-game hitting streak in the 1960s. After scoring 17 points in the final game of the 1960/61 regular season. the 100 point man scored at least 20 points the entire following season (80 games played at the time), then the first 46 of the 1962/63 financial year, before a six-point game was abandoned after just four minutes on 20 January 1963.
Needing just six games to double it, “SGA” could tie the record on Feb. 12 against Milwaukee before breaking it after the All-Star Game on Feb. 20 against Brooklyn.
