One of the most impressive streaks in NBA history has come to an end.
The Hamilton, Ont., native was held to 17 points on 6-of-19 shooting from the field. He made a run at extending the streak with 10 fourth-quarter points, but then sat for the final few minutes when the starters were pulled.
Before Thursday, the last time Gilgeous-Alexander was held under 20 was when he scored 18 on Oct. 30, 2024, against San Antonio.
The two-time MVP broke Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA record for consecutive games with 20 points or more last season when he hit the mark in his 127th straight game.
Despite the streak coming to an end, the Thunder were still able to improve to 2-0 for the season.
