NBA's biggest winners, losers and overreactions from Week 1, starring the Lakers and 76ers

The first week of the NBA season is in the books. Who won the week? What are we overreacting to? Our writers break down the best and the worst of the season so far.

1. Name a big winner from the first week of the season.

Vincent Goodwill: The Oklahoma City Thunder (beating teams by nearly 20 points a night). They are looking to break the trend of a new team at the top of the West every year. Granted, the schedule hasn’t been tough, but 3-0 is 3-0, including that demolition of the Denver Nuggets in Denver.
