When the final buzzer sounded Thursday night in the Thunder’s 96–84 win over the Nuggets, Oklahoma City celebrated another dominant win in what has been a perfect 2–0 start to the season. But it also marked the end of an incredible streak.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 17 points on 6-of-19 shooting that night at Paycom Center. While that box score is a great night for most players, it was actually the first time SGA failed to score at least 20 points since Oct. 30, 2024—a run of an NBA record 141 straight games.
