Best scorer ever on the court at Christmas, but Lebron James fails to prevent the Lakers from another knockout. On Christmas day Nba at Crypto.com Arena, the new name of the Staples Center, the champion of the Los Angeles team collects 39 points against the Nets, who however win the match 122-115 thanks to Harden, great protagonist with 36 points and triple double and Patty Mills (34). Russell Westbrook also tries to keep the yellow-violet afloat, finishing in a triple double with 13 points. For the Lakers, however, comes the fifth consecutive defeat and the crisis is now really great. The usual giant LeBron consoles himself by becoming the best scorer in the history of Christmas matches, surpassing Kobe Bryant with over 400 points in sixteen appearances.
In the first Christmas challenge the New York Knicks win without suffering, beating Atlanta 101-87: the Hawks, without Trae Young and Danilo Gallinari, collect the fifth knockout in the last seven games.
