Before every regular season, there’s a handful of games that get circled on the calendar for NBA fans, either due to an immensely talented matchup or palpable drama attached to the game.
Usually these contests get scheduled for Christmas day, which has become the NBA’s most high profile date in the regular season.
With the animosity being directed towards Kevin Durant and the Warriors this offseason, it’s somewhat surprising that the Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors weren’t scheduled for Christmas.
The Warriors are tentatively set to play the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas day, in an epic rematch of the NBA Finals.
