NBA – On fire, Chet Holmgren’s unique performance in history: “Better than…

Traveling to Denver this Saturday evening, the Thunder still recovered the victory thanks to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Chet Holmgren shone for his part, with a unique performance in history and a very close triple-double.

While the Thunder are aiming very far this season, the franchise confirmed its ambitions in the high altitude of Denver this Saturday evening.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gave his team success with a score of 118-117, including 25 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds.

The leader continues to play like an All-Star, even if he had the right to a little help in this game.

Chet Holmgren delights once again at the Thunder

We think here of Chet Holmgren. A little more discreet in recent meetings, the rookie delivered a great performance with 17 points and 11 rebounds… but also 9 blocks: an All-Time record in NBA history.

Oklahoma City number 7 will be able to rejoice in the success and his prowess, especially against Nikola Jokic’s partners.

Chet had 9 blocks tonight

With just one more block, Holmgren could have had a triple-double. This is not unheard of in history, far from it, but it is rare enough to be highlighted.

There is no doubt that like Victor Wembanyama, he will have the opportunity to achieve this feat in the future. Comparisons have also flowed between the two.

He’s way better than Wemby
