Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s historic streak is over.
The Oklahoma City Thunder superstar and reigning MVP scored 17 points in a 96-84 win against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday, Oct. 22. This ended his streak of 141 straight games scoring 20 points or more, the longest streak in NBA history.

He finished the first half without a field goal and his only points at the time were a pair of free throws. He got his first field goal at 11:32 in the third quarter with a jumper and then drained a key 3-point shot at the buzzer of the period. The bucket gave him seven points and put the Thunder up 70-64 after trailing by as many as nine.
He made a charge at 20 again in the fourth quarter, but his 3-pointer with 1:44 to go prompted a Nuggets timeout and when both teams returned to the court, all 10 players (mostly the starters) for both teams had been subbed out.
