The Los Angeles Lakers will spend their Christmas night taking on the Los Angeles Clippers in the latest edition of their battle for Staples Center bragging rights, the last game of the NBA's five game Christmas Day basketball blowout. Playing against a far superior Clippers squad may seem like coal in Lakers fans stockings, but leading 2016 All-Star game vote-getter Kobe Bryant's final Christmas Day game will be worth a watch.
While Lakers players are probably not thrilled with having to work on Christmas, one advantage of participating in the late game is that the evening start time did allow the team to spend the morning with their families, and Nick Young took advantage of this time to watch his son open presents.
