Lakers and Rockets Christmas Day Clash…
It’s that time of year when NBA fans feel like kids waiting for Santa, as the 2025-26 schedule unravels this week with a flurry of excitement! Especially for Lakers aficionados, it’s like receiving a gift before Christmas. This Dec. 25, Los Angeles will play against the Rockets at 5:00 p.m. PT, starring Kevin Durant and rookie Amen Thompson on the Rockets’ lineup. L.A., without doubt, secured their Christmas spot faster than reindeer on a sugar high by adding Luka Doncic last season!
The NBA has crafted a holiday marathon that could tire out even the most dedicated couch potatoes, starting with Cavaliers vs Knicks at 9:00 a.m. PT. In these matchups, just like attending a festive feast, the games keep coming! After the Warriors and Mavericks at 2:00 p.m., the main course is Rockets vs Lakers at 5:00 p.m., leading to a sweet dessert of Nuggets vs Timberwolves. If Santa’s workshop had a basketball court, this would be the full-day lineup!
