The Oklahoma City Thunder were looking at a defeat at the hands of the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, but then Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took control and reminded the world why he’s the frontrunner or MVP.
He posted 32 points, five rebounds, and nine assists in the game and helped the Thunder score a 115-101 win.
According to the NBA, Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 25+ points in 22 straight games now.
That is the longest streak in the NBA this season, and Gilgeous-Alexander surpassed his own longest streak of 19 in a row from earlier this year.
Making this record more impressive is the fact that Gilgeous-Alexander has not reached 25 points in just five out of 52 games in 2024-25.

His record for the season now sits at 32.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.0 assists, and he is shooting 52.7 percent from the field.
Meanwhile, the Thunder have now won seven games in a row and remain the top team in the Western Conference.
Gilgeous-Alexander is constantly talked about as the leading candidate for this year’s MVP, and it’s hard to argue against that point when he is scoring so well night after night.
Unless something surprising happens, he will likely earn his first Most Valuable Player trophy at the end of the regular season.
But his team will also remain the most feared team in their conference as long as Gilgeous-Alexander plays like this.
It’s not just the numbers that are so remarkable; it is his consistency.
Scoring this much is always impressive, but doing it night after night makes it all the more special and noteworthy.
