When the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets decide the winner of their best-of-seven playoff series, it’s going to cost a police chief a steak dinner and some embarrassing looks.
Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo over Twitter on Saturday offered a challenge to his counterpart in Salt Lake City, Mike Brown. Acevedo wagered a steak dinner that the Rockets would win the NBA Western Conference semifinal series.
I have a steak dinner (winners’s choice at the @TheIACP ) that @TilmanJFertitta @HoustonRockets will win the series. What say ye? Are we on @ChiefMikeBrown ? #RunAsOne🚀 https://t.co/V12fffTLVX

Brown accepted and increased the bet. The loser also had to wear the winning team’s hat, while in police uniform, for a day. Acevedo accepted.
I’m in!!

The two chiefs know each other through some national policing organizations. Acevedo took the early lead Sunday when the Rockets beat the Jazz 110-96.
