Just today! Alexander broke Butler s NBA record and topped the top in history

Jimmy Butler set an NBA record in the Bulls vs. Bucks on April 30, 2015 US time. In this game, he made 7 of 14 (2 of 5 three-pointers), scored 16 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals, leading the Bulls to defeat the Bucks 120-66 54 points. Butler's positive and negative value in this game reached +46, setting a historical record of positive and negative value in the NBA playoffs.

After Butler, James achieved a positive and negative value +46 in the Cavaliers vs. Celtics game on May 19, 2017, and Bain also achieved a positive and negative value +46 in the Grizzlies vs. Warriors on May 11, 2022. They tied Butler's NBA record, but failed to break. Butler's NBA record has been 10 years since then, but it was broken today. The person who broke the record is Alexander of the Thunder.

Today (May 8, 2025) The Western Conference Semi-Final G2 played against the Thunder at home. Since the Thunder lost G1 and G2, they had to win, so the Thunder played extremely high game intensity today. Their defense is extremely oppressive, and most Nuggets players are difficult to adapt. The Nuggets' shooting efficiency is very low and make frequent mistakes. The Thunder constantly counterattacked and scored, and the score difference quickly widened to more than 30 points. The score difference once reached 49 points. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 149-106 by 43 points.

Alexander performed very well today. He made 11 of 13 shots (1 of 2 three-pointers), 11 free throws, scoring 34 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, with the highest positive and negative value + 51 in the game. He broke Butler's historical record of positive and negative value + 46, becoming the player with the highest positive and negative value in a single game in NBA playoff history.
