Tiers for all 30 NBA teams: Real contenders to play-in dreamers - ESPN
A month into the NBA season, dividing lines are beginning to take shape in both conferences.

Thunder open title defense by winning 2-OT thriller against the Rockets
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 35 points, including two from the free-throw line with 2.3 seconds remaining in double overtime, lifting the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 125-124 home win over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday in the season opener. Before the game, Oklahoma City’s championship banner was raised into the rafters and the players were presented with their championship rings for last year’s title run. Then the Thunder and Rockets locked into a wild back-and-forth game, largely featuring Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren coming up with big plays for Oklahoma City as Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant did the same for Houston. In the end, it was Gilgeous-Alexander coming up with the final big moment. After Sengun put the Rockets ahead by one with a driving finger roll off a feed from Durant with 11 seconds left, Gilgeous-Alexander drove to the basket and drew a foul on Durant. The foul was Durant’s sixth, ending his Rockets debut. Gilgeous-Alexander, who had missed four of his 12 earlier free throws, hit both of his foul shots to put Oklahoma City ahead. Jabari Smith Jr.’s turnaround shot at the buzzer missed the mark to give the Thunder the win. Holmgren, who fouled out in the first overtime, finished with 28 points and seven rebounds. Sengun, who sank a career-high five 3-pointers, finished with 39 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists.
