NBA Opening Night was WILD!

The OKC Thunder went into double overtime on ring night after Kevin Durant missed the free throw that could’ve made it a 3-point game. KD and Sengun hit clutch shots, but those late free-throw misses flipped the script in OT.

Then it’s Lakers vs. Warriors — no LeBron, and it showed. Deandre Ayton struggled from the line, Marcus Smart couldn’t stay out of foul trouble, and the Warriors took over the 3rd quarter to build an 11-point lead heading into the 4th.

The Lakers went on a quick 9-0 run, but still came up short — losing by 10 to open the season.

Plus: Jimmy Butler quietly dropped 15 of 16 from the free-throw line. Opening Night already looks like it’s setting the tone for a crazy NBA season.
