The NBA Christmas Day schedule gave some teams cheer while others a big piece of coal for a gift during the day. Some holiday fun for fans was dampened though by the sleeved jerseys, which some found quite horrendous. Overall, here are the results of the games from all over the NBA.

CNNSI reported 

The game between the L.A. Clippers and the Golden State Warriors had seen several ejections and post game fracas. The Clippers' Blake Griffin was ejected after getting entabled with Warriors' center Andrew Bogut and receiving his second technical foul. Before that, Griffin was also in a shoving incident with Warriors' forward Draymond Green, who was also ejected from the game. In the end, too many chances were squandered by the visiting Clippers, who lost 105-103 to the Warriors.

In an ESPN report, Miami Heat feasted on the absence of Kobe Bryant from the L.A. Lakers line up, giving the Lakers a 101-95 loss on Christmas Day. Heat stars Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade scored 23 points apiece, with reigning MVP LeBron James chipping in 19 for the team's sixth straight win. James shared a post game hug with the injured Bryant, who was recoveing from a fractured left tibia. James said, "It's not as special when Kobe's not out there."

In another Christmas day game, Yahoo! Sports reported how the Oklahoma City Thunder handed the New York Knicks the worst Christmas day loss on record, with a 123-94 lopsided win for the visiting team. On the sidelines was the Knicks top scorer Carmelo Anthony, who was nursing a sprained ankle. The Thunder scoring was led by Kevin Durant with 29 points, Russell Westbrook who had a triple double of 14 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Also helping the Thunder beat the Knicks is Serge Ibaka with 24 points.
