Chamberlain's record was initially set in 1963.
As for Gilgeous-Alexander, the last time that he failed to reach the 20-point threshold came in Oct. 2024.
"We've won throughout the streak, most importantly," Gilgeous-Alexander told reporters. "I just had so much fun playing the last year and a half, probably because I've done a lot of winning. ... If you stay in the right mind frame, when you stay together, when you're connected as a unit and just have fun throughout the whole process, you get the best out of things."
It'll likely take some time before the record is broken again, as Chamberlain owns the third-longest streak of 20-point games at 92. Meanwhile, Hall of Fame point guard Oscar Robertson sits at No. 4 on the all-time leaderboard with 79 consecutive games scoring at least 20 points.
Kevin Durant was the only other player to get more than halfway to Chamberlain's record in the 21st century, putting together a 72-game streak from 2015-16 (h/t ESPN's Zach Kram).
Gilgeous-Alexander's consistent scoring ability is particularly impressive considering Chamberlain's initial record encompassed a 1961-62 season in which he averaged an incredible 50.4 points per game.
Meanwhile, the current reigning MVP averaged 31.7 points on a nightly basis heading into Thursday's action.
Gilgeous-Alexander discussed the record when speaking to reporters on Monday.
"It's still a lot to even wrap my head around," Gilgeous-Alexander said, per ESPN's Tim MacMahon. "To be honest with you, I try not to even think about it, especially during the season. So much is going on. So many things have to go right for you to get what you ultimately want. That gets 100 percent of my focus, especially basketball-wise. But obviously, being in a conversation with a guy like that, it's special. It's crazy to think that, [considering] where I was 10 years ago, I'd be here today."
As the Thunder continue their quest to capture a second consecutive championship, Gilgeous-Alexander put himself in the history books on Thursday.
