底特律活塞队一直稳居东部联盟榜首，他们成为进入 NBA 总决赛的热门球队之一也绝非侥幸。他们年轻的核心已经成熟到了统治地位，周二晚上，再次轮到杰伦·杜伦为他的球队担任明星。

在以130-117战胜华盛顿奇才队的比赛中，杜伦在人手不足的前场发起进攻，投篮17投13中，罚球线11投10中，拿下36分和12个篮板。奇才队倾向于让对手前场有大量球员，杜伦充分利用了这场枕头般柔软的对决。

据 X（前身为 Twitter）上的 OptaSTATS 统计，自 1967 年威尔特·张伯伦 (Wilt Chamberlain) 实现这一壮举以来，杜伦成为 NBA 历史上第一位在六场比赛中场均得分达到或超过 25 分且投篮命中率高于 80% 的球员。

允许对手记录张伯伦式的统计数据似乎是奇才队的策略，但这不应该损害杜伦在周二的统治力。杜伦仍然必须为这些数字而努力，他仍然必须锁定。现在，活塞队正在敲开 50 胜赛季的大门——对于一支不久前还是 NBA 历史上最差球队的球队来说，这是一个了不起的进步。

活塞队仍然是东部最有竞争力的球队吗？

活塞队在本赛季的大部分时间里都稳坐东部榜首，但在让大多数球迷相信他们是西部联盟中最有竞争力的球队之前，他们还有很长的路要走。

波士顿凯尔特人队最近签下了杰森·塔图姆，纽约尼克斯队拥有几位久经沙场的老将球星，克利夫兰骑士队现在也渴望赢得大胜利。但活塞队过去已经摆脱了球迷的怀疑，也许在季后赛中保持低调会对他们的竞争心理产生奇迹。

The Detroit Pistons remain on top of the Eastern Conference standings, and it’s no coincidence that they stand as one of the favorites to make it to the NBA Finals. Their young core has matured to the point of dominance, and on Tuesday night, it was once again Jalen Duren’s turn to be the star for his team.

In a 130–117 win over the Washington Wizards, Duran put his shorthanded frontcourt to the sword and put up 36 points and 12 rebounds on 13-17 shooting from the field and 10-11 from the foul line. The Wizards allow a large number of players to come through the opposing frontcourt, and Duran made the most of the pillow-soft matchups.

And in doing so, according to OptaStats on

Allowing opponents to record Chamberlain-esque stat lines appears to be the Wizards’ MO, but that shouldn’t discredit how impressive Duren was on Tuesday. Duren still had to work hard to get to those numbers, and he still had to lock down. And now, the Pistons are knocking on the door of a 50-win season – an amazing development for a team that just not long ago was the worst team in NBA history.

Are the Pistons still the team to beat in the East?

The Pistons have been on top of the East for most of the season, but they have some ways to go before they can convince most fans that they are the team to beat in the conference.

The Boston Celtics recently got Jayson Tatum back, the New York Knicks have some battle-tested veteran stars, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will now be eager to get a big win. But the Pistons have shrugged off fans’ skepticism in the past, and perhaps flying under the radar in a playoff setting will do wonders for their competitive psyche.

当关于迈阿密热火队球星巴姆·阿德巴约在周二晚上对阵华盛顿奇才队的比赛中拿下 83 分创造历史的讨论仍在继续时，目睹这一幕的人之一就是他的 WNBA 超级巨星阿贾·威尔逊的搭档。虽然体育界可以就阿德巴约拿下 83 分的热火队长的道德问题展开争论，但没有人能夺走这一里程碑，威尔逊在周四晚上充分展示了这一里程碑。

威尔逊将出席周四迈阿密热火队以 112-105 战胜密尔沃基雄鹿队的比赛，她代表阿德巴约取得了这一成就。随后，阿德巴约拿下 83 分，排在科比·布莱恩特（81 分）和威尔特·张伯伦（100 分）之后，成为第二高分，威尔逊用表情符号显示了顺序。

阿贾·威尔逊谈到热火队球员巴姆·阿德巴约所做的工作

在这场历史性的83分比赛结束后，阿德巴约告诉ClutchPoints，直到他拥抱了母亲和威尔逊，他才意识到自己创造了历史，因为这两个人都看到了他付出的巨大努力。周二，威尔逊在与阿德巴约一起接受媒体采访时也表达了同样的观点。

“我知道他说我是他的灵感来源，”威尔逊说。 “但我认为他不知道他在多大程度上激励了我继续做我自己。”

“我看到他投入了无数的时间，我看到了清晨的训练、质疑、自我怀疑，我看到了这一切，”威尔逊继续说道。 “我很感激上帝对他来说真的非常特别。上帝不会玩弄巴姆。”

As the buzz continues about Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo making history by scoring 83 points against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night, one person who saw it coming was his teammate in WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson. While the sports world can debate the morality of a Heat captain scoring 83 points on Adebayo, no one can take away that milestone, Wilson put it on full display Thursday night.

Wilson will be in attendance for Miami’s 112-105 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, where she was representing Adebayo’s accomplishment. Subsequently, Adebayo’s 83 points tied him for the second-highest scoring game in a game, ahead of Kobe Bryant (81) and behind Wilt Chamberlain (100), as Wilson used emojis to show the order.

A’ja Wilson speaks on the work done by Heat’s Bam Adebayo

After the historic 83-point game, Adebayo told ClutchPoints it didn’t matter to him that he made history until he hugged his mother and Wilson as they both witnessed the tremendous work he did. Wilson would echo those sentiments when speaking to the media alongside Adebayo on Tuesday.

“I know he says I’m his inspiration,” Wilson said. “But I don’t think he has any idea how much he inspires me to continue to be who I am.”

Wilson continued, “I see the countless hours he put in, I see the early-morning workouts, the question-and-answers, the self-doubt, all that.” “And I’m grateful that God is really special to her. God doesn’t play around with balms.”

A’ja Wilson speaks on the “countless hours” that Bam Adebayo has spent behind the scenes.

At any rate, the power couple now have massive points totals for their respective leagues as Adebayo holds the second-highest scoring game with 83 points, and Wilson holds the record for most points in a WNBA game with 53 points. As a result, Adebayo now looks to continue leading the Heat and extend their seven-game winning streak against the Orlando Magic on Saturday.

Whenever a player is being mentioned in the same sentence as Wilt Chamberlain, he has done something extremely rare and historic. That’s what Shai Gilgeous-Alexander accomplished, as the reigning MVP of the Oklahoma City Thunder broke a record that no one has come close to since 1963.

With another 20-plus-point scoring night, this time against the Boston Celtics on Thursday, Gilgeous-Alexander recorded his 127th consecutive game with 20-plus points, surpassing Chamberlain’s record of 126 straight games between 1961 and 1963.

This unfathomable record now belongs to the Thunder superstar, and SGA can extend his streak even further to keep it within striking distance, as Wilt did before.

Shai passes longest 20+ point streak ever 🚨

Oddly enough, Chamberlain holds the record for most consecutive 20-point games (126), and also had the second-longest streak, ahead of Gilgeous-Alexander, at 92 games between 1963 and 1964. The only reason Wilt’s streak ended in 1963 and he had to restart was due to him being ejected just four minutes into the game for “abusive language” towards the officials.

It’s why Chamberlain’s streak of scoring at least 20 points in 126 consecutive games ended, and it’s why Gilgeous-Alexander’s name now tops the list in NBA lore.

This is a remarkable feat for Gilgeous-Alexander, and it puts him in the same great position as Chamberlain, who has all of his nearly-untouchable records, as well as LeBron James and his streak of 1,297 straight games scoring more than 10 points. Perhaps this is the next record on Gilgeous-Alexander’s to-do list, but he still has a long way to go to catch LeBron, as anyone would.

Passing Chamberlain is the latest major accomplishment for Gilgeous-Alexander, just eight years into his career.

The 27-year-old superstar won his first championship with the Thunder last season and was crowned the 2025 NBA Finals MVP. He also led the league in scoring until being named the 2024–25 NBA MVP. With approximately four weeks remaining in the 2025–26 season, Gilgeous-Alexander is considered the favorite to once again win the MVP award.

After tying Wilt’s record with a 35-point performance on Sunday, which included a game-winning 3-pointer against the Denver Nuggets, Gilgeous-Alexander took a moment to reflect on the history he made, and gave a humble response to what the accomplishment means to him.

“It’s still a lot to wrap my head around,” SGA said. “To be honest, I don’t even try to think about it, especially during the season. There’s a lot going on. A lot of things have to go right to get what you ultimately want. I’m 100 percent focused on that.

“Obviously, it’s special to interact with a guy like that.”

Not many players ever come close to recording similar numbers or breaking the record held by Wilt Chamberlain. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has done so in his eighth season, as he is the new record holder for most consecutive games with over 20 points with 127 games and counting.

Some NBA history was made last night when Bam Adebayo exploded for 83 points. As he continues to recover from injury, the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton explained how Adebayo’s 83 point-game helped him believe the fact that Wilt Chamberlain had 100 points in a game.

“Wilt Chamberlain 100… I don’t know if I believed it or not… but after what I saw yesterday… Wilt had 100”

– ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) 12 March 2026

Haliburton was considering the belief that Chamberlain did not reach 100 points. But after seeing Adebayo, he believed it. Adebayo’s 83 points generated some controversy, particularly regarding how he did it. But it was still an amazing feat that was almost unheard of in 2026. Most of the NBA watched Adebayo and contemplated the game, and Haliburton had time to observe as he continued to recover.

Haliburton’s discomfort worsened during Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Since then, he has been forced to watch the rest of the NBA while he recovers. The Pacers are currently 15-50, which is the worst record in the NBA. Assuming Haliburton is able to return next season, he could have a top draft pick in the future. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference while attempting to make some noise.

Adebayo played the best game of his career in a blowout win over the Washington Wizards. As everyone talks about this career game, it also put Adebayo’s name in the history books. He is currently third on the Heat in scoring. That’s what makes this monster game so amazing. As Adebayo comes out on top in this game, he will look to continue leading the Heat to victory as they host the Milwaukee Bucks in their next matchup.

Bam Adebayo had the entire Miami Heat team invested in the build-up to his historic scoring night. Ultimately, the Heat squad helped Adebayo break Kobe Bryant’s scoring record, becoming the proud owner of the NBA’s second-highest scoring game after finishing with 83 points in a 150-129 victory over the Washington Wizards.

Adebayo’s success became almost as much as the team’s, and they were celebrating with him long before the final buzzer sounded. They cheered when Adebayo was fouled when he had 81 points, and when he checked out after passing Bryant’s scoring tally, they were as excited as ever. After the game, the celebration continued, as they poured water on the Heat star and joined him in his post-game interview.

It got so far that Kelly Sacco of FanDuel Sports Network decided to give The microphone passed to Norman Powell, who then posed a question for Adebayo that put his historic accomplishment into perspective.

“How does it feel to hear your name called Wilt, Bam, along with Kobe?” Powell asked, much to the delight of the crowd at the Kasia Center.

“Obviously, it’s a top three performance so far,” Adebayo responded with a big smile on his face.

“hell yeah!” Powell agreed.

Heat’s Bam Adebayo puts his name in the record books

Adebayo is now the proud owner of the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, and no one can take that away from him. His name will now be in the record books under Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game, which is absolutely ridiculous.

Some critics might say the Heat shamelessly chased Adebayo that game. They were intentionally fouling to get the ball back, and they were force-feeding Adebayo the rock. But at the end of the day, Adebayo scored 83 points, immortalizing this historic night forever.

Bam Adebayo is a five-time All-Defensive selection, averaging 16.0 points in his career. He’s an undeniable difference-maker, but not the type of player who is expected to break the modern era single-game NBA scoring record. Well, the Miami Heat don’t often worry about expectations, and neither does their franchise pillar. The former No. 14 overall draft pick dropped 83 points against the Washington Wizards and is now behind only Wilt Chamberlain.

The possibility of Adebayo eclipsing the greatest center of all-time’s untouched 100-point mark became a shocking reality when he posted 31 points in the first quarter, single-handedly outscoring the Wizards. Although he did not reach the summit, the three-time All-Star still put on an unforgettable performance for the home crowd at the Kasia Center. He recreated the iconic Chamberlain photo after Miami’s 150–129 win.

When the Miami Heat lost to the Philadelphia 76ers on February 26, Bam Adebayo expressed his disappointment in competing regularly in the NBA Play-in Tournament. Since that difficult admission, he has been doing everything in his power to get the team into the real playoffs. The three-time All-Star is on par in March and Miami is following suit. Adebayo soared to historic highs Tuesday night, temporarily forcing fans to revisit one of the NBA’s most beloved records.

The 28-year-old big man scored 31 points in the first quarter against the Washington Wizards, making 10 of 16 shots from the field and draining five 3-pointers. According to Zachary Weinberger of ClutchPoints, he was on pace to surpass Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point performance, an immortal feat that has stood as a benchmark for more than 60 years. Adebayo slowed down in the fourth quarter, but still went into halftime with an excellent 43 points. Miami led 76–62 at the break.

The Heat are in position to capture their sixth consecutive win on Career Night. When the team and fan base need him most, Adebayo is carrying himself like a true captain. People are applauding Tuesday’s monstrous effort.

Mark Daigneault reveals SGA’s ‘superpower’ after Thunder win

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault reflected on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as a player, leader and person after Monday’s historic night where SGA held the Nuggets to a game-winning three in a 129-126 victory.

Daigneault said, “He never presses. He has incredible situational awareness, awareness of the length of the game; I think that’s one of his superpowers.” “He understands how long the game is. So, he can make the right plays, knowing he’s going to hold his own. If he misses a shot early, he knows there’s still more to play. He’s always in it mentally. I think that’s why he’s as consistent as he is.”

Gilgeous-Alexander turned to his supporting cast early and often, and they undoubtedly did not disappoint as the Thunder’s Jaylin Williams finished with 29 points, including a career-high seven threes and 12 rebounds. Ajay Mitchell led the way off the bench with 24 points in his first game back from an abdominal strain and left ankle injury.

Daigneault said, “I thought his passing tonight was really cool. Even ordinary people weren’t supportive.” “They doubled him all night. He got over it early, like it happened with Ajay [Mitchell] Even late, Ajay got Hardaway there. It’s just a simple game before defense. She played a very good floor game tonight. Obviously, a great finish. A great player.”

The Thunder have won seven consecutive games.

Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is one 20+ points shy of Hall of Fame center Wilt Chamberlain’s record. It has been over 64 years since Chamberlain scored 20+ points in 126 consecutive games. Gilgeous-Alexander extended his streak to 125 in the Thunder’s 104–97 win against the Golden State Warriors, leading his team with 27 points as the defending champions earned their 50th win of the regular season.

According to ESPN’s Tim McMahon, Gilgeous-Alexander discussed how much he knows about Chamberlain.

“Not much, other than that he was very impressive,” Gilgeous-Alexander recently told ESPN. “Based on the data, he did what he wanted and how he wanted.”

Chamberlain is known for his dominant statistics, including his infamous 100-point performance in 1962, which stands as the most points scored in a single game in NBA history. However, there is no footage.

“To be honest, it almost seems like a mythical creature,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “it’s not real.”

Still, Wilt Chamberlain’s record of consecutive 20+ point performances remains real, and Gilgeous-Alexander is on the verge of standing next to Chamberlain, a feat it took an NBA player 64 years to reach.

Gilgeous-Alexander surpassed Chamberlain’s second-best 20+ point record earlier this season when he scored 26 points in a 123–115 win against the Portland Blazers in December to extend his streak to 94 consecutive games. SGA is averaging 31.6 points per game this season, second best in the NBA this season.

Whenever you surpass Chamberlain on any list, you know you’re doing something excellent.

Chamberlain, who led Philadelphia to a title in 1967, was very talented in his heyday. Maxi would be honored to know that he has succeeded the late Hall of Famer.

The 25-year-old Maxi had to carry the heavy load for the 76ers against the Celtics, as Joel Embiid sat out again with an oblique injury. Embiid has already missed 27 games this season.

Maxey received support from VJ Edgecombe, who recorded 23 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals. Andre Drummond, who started in Embiid’s place, contributed 10 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals. However, their efforts were not enough to overthrow the Celtics.

Philadelphia’s three-game winning streak was snapped and it dropped to 33–27, while Boston improved to 40–20.

The Sixers will take on the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.
