Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led his team to No. 1 in the Western Conference standings for the third year in a row.

"It's impressive," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "Obviously, none of it means anything if you don't win in the end, and you know that. But teams that win in the end have some of the same characteristics and traits, and check off the same boxes. So, checking off those boxes is kind of just like knowing we're headed in the right direction.
"Obviously, we're far from the finish line of where we want to go, but like I said, it lets us know we're heading right there."
The Thunder will close out its last road trip of the season against the Nuggets on Friday.
