The NBA on Christmas Day has become a tradition, and the Los Angeles Lakers have taken part almost as much as any other team in the NBA.
In their franchise history, between Minneapolis and Los Angeles, the Lakers have played on Christmas Day 43 times. That is second only to the New York Knicks, who have played 52 times on Christmas. The Lakers have gone 21-22 on Christmas Day, giving them the second most wins ever, behind only the Knicks, again, who are 22-30.
The Lakers are tied with the Detroit Pistons for the most Christmas Day losses at 22.
