A 51-point night from MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander propelled the Oklahoma City Thunder past the Houston Rockets, 137-128, on Monday.
This was Gilgeous-Alexander’s fourth contest with 50-plus this season; no other player in the league has reached that plateau more than once. He’s the 27th player to post a quartet of 50-point games in one campaign and the first since Luka Doncic in 2022-23. All four have come since Jan 22.
