00:00

Two games on Tuesday night raised the curtain for the 2022-23 NBA regular season.

The Golden State Warriors had nothing but joy as they received the championship rings for the last season, gave their young players enough time to refine themselves and smashed the opponents at Chase Center.

While the Los Angeles Lakers review their loss against the Warriors, they may also want to ask their front office what exactly their signings during the offseason do to help the franchise.

The Philadelphia 76ers had both good news and bad news in their season opener against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. The good news is, James Harden's incredible performance reminded the 76ers of himself in his prime when he was in the Rockets; the bad new is the 76ers lost and Joel Embiid underperformed.

The Celtics managed to contain one of the league's top two centers even without their best defender Robert Williams III. Moreover, the team's star duo, Jalen Brown and Jayson Tatum matched each other with incredible offensive performance in Tuesday's game.
