NBA games on Christmas Day are a tradition that has been going on for a very long time and it is pretty much a guarantee that the Los Angeles Lakers will be taking the court every year. This year saw the Lakers pick up a huge road win over the Golden State Warriors and Rui Hachimura played a big role in the team’s success.
With Anthony Davis spraining his ankle in the first quarter and never returning, Hachimura had to play a lot of minutes at center and he held his own, knocking down 5-of-7 3-pointers to finish with 18 points.
