The Thunder edged past the Denver Nuggets and handed them a 127-103 loss to record their seventh straight win on Sunday, March 9.&nbsp;<\/p><p>As two of the top three Western Conference teams locked horns, Shai came up with a statement-making performance. The MVP front-runner finished with 40 points, eight rebounds and five assists.&nbsp;With this, he joined the elite company of Michael Jordan with another <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NBA<\/a> record. <\/p><p>It was Shai&rsquo;s third consecutive 40 point performance, but also his 40th 30+ point game of the year. With this, he became the only second player after legendary Michael Jordan in the last forty years to record over 30 points in more than 40 games over three consecutive seasons.&nbsp;<\/p><p>It was also Shai&rsquo;s 58th consecutive 20+ point game. He is only five games shy of taking over Kobe Bryant&rsquo;s 63-game record. There is simply no stopping for the OKC star, as he has now become the fastest player in the Thunder franchise to score 2000 points in a season.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/history-maker-nikola-jokic-still-way-behind-shai-gilgeous-alexander-in-mvp-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>History-maker Nikola Jokic still way behind Shai-Gilgeous-Alexander in MVP race<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/shai-gilgeous-alexander-equals-russell-westbrooks-okc-thunder-record-in-another-50-point-outburst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Shai Gilgeous-Alexander equals Russell Westbrook&rsquo;s OKC Thunder record in another 50-point outburst<\/a><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-img\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Image\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Playoffs-betting-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25831\"><\/a><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&ldquo;None of it matters if you don&rsquo;t win&rdquo;- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on winning MVP<\/h2><p>After the Thunder recorded their seventh-straight win, Shai&rsquo;s odds of winning the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LegionHoops\/status\/1898823578503819331\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>MVP have taken an outright lead on several bookmakers<\/a>.
