Gilgeous-Alexander provided 25 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 140-127 loss to Denver.

In a battle of MVP candidates, Gilgeous-Alexander couldn't keep pace with Nikola Jokic, who erupted for a game-high 35 points and 18 rebounds.
