NBA stars arrested in mafia poker and insider betting scandal
NBA figures including Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier arrested in mafia poker and insider betting fraud cases.
The NBA staged two games on Thursday night and both needed more than 48 minutes to be decided.
After Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career-high 55 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to victory, it was Stephen Curry’s turn to put on a show in the nightcap. The longtime Warriors star scored 42 points to lead his team to a 137-131 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets.
Many of Curry’s buckets came in the clutch, including his game-tying 3-pointer with 21.9 seconds to go in the fourth quarter. The four-time champ scored 16 consecutive points for the Warriors across the end of the fourth quarter and into overtime.
The Nuggets were led by Aaron Gordon, who was red-hot from 3-point range. He hit 10 of his 11 3-point attempts, part of a 17-for-21 shooting night. Gordon scored 50 points.
