Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was just having "fun" as he overtook NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain to claim a long-standing record in the Oklahoma City Thunder's win on Thursday.

The Thunder clinched a 104-102 victory over the Boston Celtics, with Gilgeous-Alexander scoring 35 points to set the record for the most consecutive games while scoring at least 20 points.

He has now achieved that feat in 127 straight matches, eclipsing Chamberlain's record of 126, which he achieved between 1961 and 1963.

Gilgeous-Alexander's streak began on November 1, 2024, when he scored 30 in a win over the Portland Trail Blazers, and Oklahoma City have gone on to win the NBA Finals during that run, too.

He reached the milestone with a 20-foot jumper to surpass 20 points with 7:04 remaining in the third quarter, receiving a standing ovation, but he was more focused on how he has been helping the team during his stunning run.

"We've won throughout the streak, most importantly," said Gilgeous-Alexander, who has averaged 32.5 points in the 127 games.

"I just had so much fun playing the last year and a half, probably because I've done a lot of winning.

"If you stay in the right mind frame, when you stay together, when you're connected as a unit and just have fun throughout the whole process, you get the best out of things."

Gilgeous-Alexander, who won last season's scoring title and ranks second in the NBA this year with 31.8 points per game, is on the verge of becoming the first player since Michael Jordan to score at least 30 points per game in four consecutive seasons.

During his 127-game streak, the Thunder have a 103-24 record, and coach Mark Daigneault hailed Gilgeous-Alexander's attitude towards the team.

"The whole life of the streak has not prevented us from having a ton of team success and hasn't prevented his team-mates from having success, either," Daigneault said.

"An individual streak that's about scoring has not come at the expense of his team or his team-mates."
