The first week of the 2020-21 NBA season is in the books.

With little to no fans in attendance, the atmosphere throughout NBA arenas isn't quite like what we're used to but the level of play on the floor is as good as ever. Throughout the course of a busy week, debuts were made, records were broken and buzzers were beaten, meaning there was no shortage of highlights.

Take a trip back for the best sights and sounds from an opening week unlike any other.
