Gilgeous-Alexander ties Chamberlain's mark for consecutive 20-point games

"The name that he is up there with is Wilt. If you love this game, you should love the history of it. And for him and for Wilt, to talk about him again and again and again on his records - it just says a lot about Shai's career, the consistency that he's shown over the years."

"Chamberlain set the record from 1961 to 1963. He scored at least 20 points every game of the 1961-62 season for the Philadelphia Warriors, which included his famous 100-point game in 1962. Chamberlain's streak ended on Jan. 20, 1963, when he only played four minutes for the San Francisco Warriors against the St. Louis Hawks."

"Gilgeous-Alexander has five games of at least 50 points during his streak, including a career-high 55 points against the Indiana Pacers early this season. He was last held under 20 when he scored 18 on Oct. 30, 2024 against San Antonio."

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander matched Wilt Chamberlain's historic record by scoring at least 20 points in 126 consecutive games during an Oklahoma City Thunder game against Denver. Chamberlain established this record between 1961 and 1963, including his legendary 100-point performance in 1962. Gilgeous-Alexander's streak began on October 30, 2024, when he scored 18 points against San Antonio. During his consecutive 20-point streak, he has recorded five games with at least 50 points, including a career-high 55 points against Indiana. Gilgeous-Alexander has the opportunity to break Chamberlain's record in an upcoming home game against Boston.
