The Oklahoma City Thunder hosted the Denver Nuggets in a Sunday matinee between the top two MVP candidates, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic. It was Gilgeous-Alexander who made his big MVP statement in a 127-103 triumph that got out of hand in the fourth quarter.

SGA poured in 40 points in the big victory, marking a third consecutive game in which the Thunder star went for 40-plus points. Ironically, the only other player to do that in Thunder franchise history was on the other side of this game: Russell Westbrook.
