Shai Gilgeous Alexander Ties Wilt Chamberlain 20 Point Record

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tied Wilt Chamberlain’s long-standing mark by scoring 20 or more points in 126 straight games, a milestone that puts him in the same rarefied conversation as one of the game's all-time scorers. The reigning MVP is carrying Oklahoma City with 31.6 points, 6.4 assists and 4.4 rebounds while the Thunder sit 50-15, and he can surpass Chamberlain’s streak in the team’s next game on Thursday. Merlin senses more than scoring here. Wilt’s records are monuments, but durability and timing decide who replaces them. If Shai stays healthy and keeps his scoring pulse, another MVP trophy and a new chapter in scoring lore await — though he must hit the 65-game threshold to lock in award eligibility.
