However, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder staked their claim Sunday that both of those things should belong to them — SGA dropped 40 on the Denver Nuggets in a 127-103 win. No MVP voter should base their vote on the outcome of one game (or even have their vote swayed all that much by 1-of-82),

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 40 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks to lead the Thunder effort. He scored seven straight Thunder points in a 1:20 span late in the fourth quarter to squash any hope of a Nuggets rally.
