Just one game after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander passed Wilt Chamberlain for the most consecutive games with 20 or more points in NBA history, he nearly snapped the long streak.
The Thunder beat the Timberwolves 116–103 to extend their current winning streak to eight games, but Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t record his 20th point of the night until the very end. With under two minutes left and Oklahoma City up 13, he drove on Wolves superstar Anthony Edwards and hit a smooth fadeaway jumper while absorbing contact and went to the free-throw line for one more.
