OKC begins defense of its title from last season tonight against Houston.

Rockets holding their own early in the 4th Quarter, but the Thunder playing tough defense.

Ending of this game is great.

Tough way for it to end for the Rockets with KD fouling out.

Embiid pulling a TW and has 4 pts with a few minutes left in the 4th against the Celtics. But this is nothing new.

Gambling/fantasy teams are the elephant in the room. Too big to control. Can't get rid of it. TOOOO much money involved.

wow.

Per: @WindhorstESPN on @RichEisenShow

The NBA knew about the illegal gambling scheme and tried to sweep it under the rug.

Wild.
