Kevin Durant scored 28 points and had 10 rebounds in the Houston Rockets' win over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. The veteran star's first season in Houston has gone quite well as his team sits sixth in the Western Conference as the NBA calendar nears the midway point. Rockets fans have watched Durant, now 37, continue to score whenever he pleases—to the tune of 26.1 points a game. Fans that aren't disguised as empty seats.
The X account "BrickCenter" posted a clip on X showing the sparse Toyota Center crowd during the opening minutes of Rockets-Bulls. "The Rockets have Kevin Durant and the seats are EMPTY," the user offered up to the marketplace of ideas. And the video evidence supports such a claim.
