Mavs’ Player Surpasses Wilt Chamberlain on Field Goals List!

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford is currently on a remarkable streak of precision around the rim, showcasing an impressive ability to convert close-range shots. In the team’s recent 109-99 triumph over the Golden State Warriors, Gafford demonstrated his proficiency, tallying 10 points, six rebounds, two steals, and seven blocks while maintaining a flawless shooting record of 5-5 from the field in 26 minutes as a starter.

With this stellar performance, Gafford extended his streak of consecutive made field goals to 33, surpassing the impressive mark set by NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain, who held the second-place record of 32 since 1967. Notably, Chamberlain also holds the all-time record of 35 consecutive made field goals, achieved in the same year.

As Gafford eyes the upcoming matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he has the opportunity to establish a new milestone in NBA history by surpassing Chamberlain’s record if he can maintain his perfect shooting streak early in the game. Despite the potential milestone, Gafford remains focused on the team’s success, emphasizing the importance of securing victories above personal achievements.

Following their victory against Golden State, the Mavericks are currently enjoying a four-game winning streak, providing them with momentum as they face the challenge of a back-to-back encounter against the Western Conference leaders, the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite the disadvantage of playing on consecutive nights, the Mavericks aim to improve their performance by reducing turnovers and enhancing their three-point shooting efficiency, factors that hindered their success against the Warriors.
