Jingle balls rock: NBA continues
its Christmas tradition
By Rory MacDonald-Gauthier
TV Media
It’s beginning to look a lot like ... basketball? Since their second season in 1947, the NBA has cel- ebrated Christmas Day in there own way with 10 teams getting into the festive (competitive) spirit by lacing up their sneakers and playing ball. While there isn’t a set format to determine who plays who, matches are generally decided based by fan favorites, top-tier players and, more often than not, a rematch of the pre- vious season’s NBA Finals.

game between reigning champions Golden State Warriors and runners- up, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Stephen Curry and his Warriors look to crip- ple the Cavaliers once again — the Warriors recently made history by setting the record for most straight wins to open the season.
While they’ll be sitting out this year’s festivities, let’s not forget that the New York Knicks have played a whopping 49 Christmas Day games, with a record of 22-27. Their last hol- iday game took place in 2013, where they lost against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Madison Square Garden. It may not be the case for not play- ing since, but keep in mind that they

lost 123-94, making it the biggest loss by a home team on Dec. 25 ever.
The holidays are for everyone, with the NBA most definitely in- cluded. Doc Rivers coaches his Los Angeles Clippers against the Los Angeles Lakers this Yuletide season, but this won’t be his first interac- tion with the holiday format — he played with the Knicks in 1992, then coached the Boston Celtics from 2008 to 2013.
President of the Knicks Phil Jack- son also has experience with Dec. 25 games as he’s not only played in some, but coached on Christmas ev- ery year from 1990 until 2011, with the exception of 1995 and 2004.
