Murray soaked in the moment Sunday after earning his first All-Star nod, then he set his sights on a loftier accolade almost immediately: All-NBA.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went for 34 points and 13 assists as the OKC Thunder clobbered the Nuggets on Sunday at Ball Arena.

The Nuggets got cute. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got nasty. Cason Wallace got open. Everybody got stinking open.

Jamal Murray is no longer one of the best players to never make an All-Star Game. And Nikola Jokic has an All-Star teammate for the first time.

“It’s cool that we were able to finish that time out with a championship,” MPJ said Thursday. “Because I feel like if I didn’t get that ring or finish my time here with a ring, then it would have been hard to move into the situation I’m in now.”

The Nuggets are on the lookout for salary-shaving moves as the NBA trade deadline nears. Better than being forced to reckon with the end of an era, like Milwaukee is.
