Even the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office got in on the action.

The wager between HPD and San Antonio PD has inspired some other bets.
San Antonio Mayor Ivy R. Taylor said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner has agreed to wear a Spurs black and silver t-shirt for one day if the Spurs win the series. Taylor agreed to wear Rockets gear if they should win.
Meanwhile, TxDOT Houston and TxDOT San Antonio are engaged in a lot of trash talk.

@TxDOTHoustonPIO @HoustonRockets Sorry, all those @Spurs rings slowed our reply. Remember: Rockets won the first regular-season #I10Rivalry game, too. How'd that work out?
