Christmas day is a day to celebrate for most folks. It’s the most anticipated day for some and basketball fans have been looking forward to Christmas day too. This is because it is the day when the NBA formally starts and there are fantastic contests that are destined to be played on that day. One of these contests involve the Dec 25 – Chicago Bulls versus Los Angeles Lakers game. The game is a game between 2 of the top teams in the NBA and 2 of its top competitors.

On Christmas Day, the season formally opens with 5 competitions to be competed. One of the most anticipated competitions contain the Dec 25 – Mavericks versus Heat game. For many reasons, the game is the most anticipated game. One is that it’s a rematch between the 2 squads that met in the Finals. The 2nd reason is so that the fans can see if the squads have the chance to win the tournament again especially with their lineup changes. The preseason events were cut short like the signing of free agents and trading but squads have made the most of the time that was allotted for them to get work accomplished.
