ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The appointment with history took shape with a triple scored in the final of the third quarter. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 35 points in Oklahoma City Thunder’s victory against the Denver Nuggets and thus extended to 126 the strip of matches with at least 20 points in reference, matching the historic record Wilt Chamberlain set from 1961 to 1963. The Mvp 2025 – which has touched the triple double with 9 rebounds and 15 assists, also realizing the three-round shot of the win at 2.7 seconds from the end – does not fall under 20 points from 30 October 2024, when he made 18 against San Antonio, and now has the opportunity to stretch the record strip on the night between Thursday and Friday against the Boston Celtics. But first there is time to enjoy an evening that ends up straight on the album of memories: “I challenged really strong opponents, playing against them brings out the best of you,” said Gilgeous-Alexander about the Nuggets to which the triple double of Nikola Jokic, author of 32 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists was not enough. It is the second consecutive defeat for Denver after that with the New York Knicks who in turn came out defeated in Los Angeles against the Clippers for 126-118.
Decisive Kawhi Leonard (29 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists) and Bennedict Mathurin (28 points), while guests were not enough neither Karl-Anthony Towns (35 and 12 rebounds), nor the 28 points and 8 assists of Jalen Brunson. Kyle Filipowski’s signature (19 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 stolen balls, 1 stoppage) on the Utah Jazz victory for 119-116 against the Golden State Warriors orphaned by Steph Curry. The Brooklyn Nets, which exceeded the Memphis Grizzlies for 126-115, are also partying, while the Cleveland Cavaliers took over the Philadelphia 76ers with a score of 115-101. James Harden scored 21 points and became the ninth player in Nba history with more than 29,000 career points (the eighth place is Wilt Chamberlain with 31.419). For Sixers – forced to do without Joel Embiid, Paul George (disqualified) and VJ Edgecombe – the positive news of the day comes from the infirmary: Tyrese Maxey underwent tests that excluded the fracture to the finger of the right foot.
