Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 51 points to help the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 50th win of the season against the Houston Rockets in the NBA.
Gilgeous-Alexander made all 10 of his free throws and also had seven assists in a 137-128 win.
It is the fourth time the 26-year-old has scored 50 or more points in a game since January, having never done so before then.
The Western Conference leaders have won 13 of their past 15 matches to improve to 50-11 for the season, with no other side in the division having yet won 40.
Meanwhile Kyrie Irving suffered a knee injury in the Dallas Mavericks’ 122-98 defeat by the Sacramento Kings.
Irving left the court late in the first quarter after landing awkwardly following a drive to the basket.
Dallas guard Jaden Hardy was also forced off in the third quarter with a sprained ankle, with the severity of both injuries not yet known.
They are the latest injury blows for the Mavericks, who lost Anthony Davis to a groin problem on his debut last month.
Davis was involved in the three-way trade that led to five-time NBA All-Star Luka Doncic leaving Dallas for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Zach LaVine scored 22 points and DeMar DeRozan 20 in a fourth successive victory for the Kings.
