It was a loaded night of NBA action on Christmas Eve Eve (otherwise known as Festivus to sitcom fans), with 28 of the league’s 30 teams hitting the floor on Friday night.

In what was his third 40-point outing of the season, SGA put on a clinic in a 128-125 overtime loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.
