Golden Nugget Casino owner buys the Houston Rockets for $2.2 billion

The owner of the Golden Nugget Casino chain has reportedly bought the NBA’s Houston Rockets for a record $2.2 billion, according to sources from ESPN.

The Houston Rockets has a new owner, but die-hard fans don’t have to worry, they won’t see their side running out to the sounds of Crazy in Love. 

When Leslie Alexander announced plans to sell his beloved Rockets, back in July, Houston native Beyonce was one of the first people to express an interest.

And Beyonce wasn’t alone with a variety of former NBA stars, celebrities and entrepreneurs keen on taking over the reins of the two time NBA Champions.
