What’s more impressive: scoring 100 points in a single game or scoring 60-plus points in three straight games twice in the span of a month and a half?
Wilt Chamberlain accomplished both during a dominant stretch of the 1961-62 NBA season.
Reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is in pursuit of one of Chamberlain’s many other NBA scoring records. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard scored 26 points in a 123-115 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 30, marking his 93rd consecutive game with 20-plus points. It’s the second-longest streak of scoring at least 20 points in NBA history, trailing Chamberlain’s streak of 126 games (1961-63).
