Description

On this week’s Heating Up, it’s time to celebrate — or commiserate. The Oklahoma City Thunder are officially your NBA Champions, and Sasha, Sara, Mike, and special guest Chad are breaking it all down. From Game Seven’s electric energy to Tyrese Haliburton’s devastating injury, we explore how it all went down and what’s next for both teams.

Longtime OKC superfan Chad joins to share what this title means after years of heartbreak.

Then it’s bombshell time: Kevin Durant is headed to the Rockets. What does it mean for the West? Is Houston actually a contender?

Plus, we give a shout to the Stanley Cup champions and reflect on what makes championship moments so memorable — even if they aren’t your team.

 And if you’ve ever been to a Yankees game, you’ll relate to our hot dog-fueled breakdown of the fan experience (and occasional despair).

 The hosts also check in on summer family chaos and vacations gone wrong, before closing with Heat Check: your weekly betting boost.
