Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Had Perfect Team-First Answer About Breaking Allen Iverson Record

SGA broke Iverson's record for most points over his first two NBA Finals games on Sunday | NBA T

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued his impressive playoff run with a 34-point outing on Sunday night to propel the Oklahoma City Thunder to victory over the Indianapolis Pacers in the NBA Finals. The 123–107 win evens the series at 1–1, and SGA's outing writes his name into the history books in a few different manners.

Sunday marked Gilgeous-Alexander's ninth straight home playoff game with at least 30 points, which ties Wilt Chamberlain's all-time NBA playoff record. His 34 points in Game 2 combined with the 38 points he scored in Game 1 also made for an NBA record; he passed Allen Iverson for most points scored in his first two career NBA Finals games.
