After his Oklahoma City Thunder dispatched the Denver Nuggets in an anticlimactic Game 7 win on Sunday, this year's presumed NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is already looking ahead to the Western Conference Finals.

After he and his Oklahoma City Thunder escaped Game 7 with a blowout victory over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, his sights are set on the next task. The Thunder beat the Nuggets 125-93, advancing to the Western Conference finals for the for first time in Gilgeous-Alexander's seven-year-career.

Starting forward Chet Holmgren made his MVP declaration after Game 7 for Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander before the MVP candidate revealed he was nervous heading into the series finale. Gilgeous-Alexander says the nerves helped his performance and perhaps Thunder All-Star Jalen Williams would say the same.
