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 23 points in a 126-109 victory against the New Orleans Pelicans on Nov. 17, marking his 86th consecutive game with 20-plus points. It's the third-longest streak of scoring at least 20 points in NBA history, trailing Chamberlain's streaks of 126 games (1961-63) and 92 games (1963-64).
