Alexander has scored 20+ points in 71 consecutive games, tied with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for sixth in history

On April 7 , the NBA regular season continued, with the Oklahoma City Thunder playing at home against the Los Angeles Lakers. In this highly anticipated Western Conference matchup, Thunder core player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again delivered impressive statistics. By the third quarter, he had already efficiently scored 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists, scoring more than 20 points for the 71st consecutive game, officially tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and becoming the sixth player in NBA history with 20+ consecutive games.

 

In this focus game, Alexander continued his stable performance throughout the season. In the first three quarters, he made 8 of 15 shots , including 5 of 10 from beyond the three-point line . Whether it was a mid-range emergency stop, a breakthrough to the basket, or a decisive shot from the outside, Alexander's scoring methods were diverse and highly efficient, and he could hardly be restricted by single defense.

This record of 20+ points in a row is not only a recognition of Alexander's personal scoring ability, but also shows his core position in the Thunder lineup. As a top guard averaging nearly 30 points per game, he has grown into one of the most dominant all-around offensive and defensive players in the league. Whether facing strong or weak opponents, Alexander can output steadily and consistently provide firepower support for the Thunder.

It is worth mentioning that the person Alexander is tying this time is Kareem Abdul -Jabbar, a legendary center in NBA history . Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has dominated the league for many years with his iconic hook shot and has many unmatched records. Now, Alexander has tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in this record of continuous and stable scoring, which is enough to show that his continuity and stability on the offensive end have reached a historical level.

The Thunder have a stable record this season and are firmly in the forefront of the Western Conference. Alexander's performance is undoubtedly the key to the team's success. He not only has outstanding scoring ability, but also shows All-Star level in organization, connection and defense. As the playoffs approach, Alexander's status will directly affect whether the Thunder can go further in the Western Conference.

Currently, the record of 71 consecutive 20+ games is still continuing, and Alexander is expected to occupy the sixth place in the history in the next game, and continue to challenge the previous legendary stars. No matter what the result is, Alexander has already written his own chapter in history with his actual performance.
