In a performance that will be etched in NBA playoff history, Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has officially set a new postseason record, becoming the first player in NBA history to record 35+ points, 10+ assists, 5+ steals, and 5+ rebounds in a single playoff game.
The electrifying feat came in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, where Gilgeous-Alexander led his team to a crucial victory with a dazzling two-way display. His final stat line—37 points, 11 assists, 6 steals, and 7 rebounds—was nothing short of historic.
Gilgeous-Alexander, already an All-NBA First Team selection and MVP candidate, continues to elevate his game when it matters most. His ability to control the tempo offensively while applying relentless defensive pressure has made him one of the most complete guards in the league.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, no player in league history has ever put up that exact combination of stats in a single playoff game. Legends like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Allen Iverson have come close—but none have done what Shai just accomplished.
“Shai is special,” said Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault in the postgame press conference. “What you saw tonight is just another example of his all-around greatness. He’s doing things that impact both ends of the floor—and doing it with poise under pressure.”
Fans and analysts alike took to social media to react to the historic performance, with many calling it one of the greatest individual playoff efforts in recent memory.
As the Thunder continue their unexpected postseason run, one thing is clear: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn’t just rising to the moment—he’s redefining it.
