14 Mar
Summary
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander set an NBA record with 127 straight 20-point games.
- Chet Holmgren secured the win with two clutch free throws.
- The L2M report confirmed no officiating errors in the final minutes.

The Oklahoma City Thunder clinched a hard-fought 104-102 victory over the Boston Celtics, highlighted by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's new NBA record. Gilgeous-Alexander now holds the league's longest streak for consecutive 20-point games, reaching 127, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain's historic mark.
In a tense closing sequence, with the score tied at 102, Gilgeous-Alexander made a selfless pass to Alex Caruso for a potential game-winner. Though Caruso's shot missed, Chet Holmgren secured the offensive rebound and drew a foul from Sam Hauser on a put-back attempt with just 0.8 seconds remaining.
Holmgren calmly sank both free throws to secure the Thunder's lead. A final desperation heave from Payton Pritchard fell short, sealing the Thunder's win. The NBA's Last Two Minute (L2M) report later confirmed that no officiating errors occurred during the game's crucial final minutes, validating Hauser's foul on Holmgren as a correct call.
