'I love it and hate it': Miracles, nightmares and more tales of NBA Christmas
Since 1984, Rivers has played or coached on Christmas a total of 17 times. As he recounted two stories about his favorite Christmas moments, the Milwaukee Bucks head coach naturally turned to the Boston Celtics-Los Angeles Lakers rivalry — but he wasn't completely sure whether one of the memories was actually on Christmas.
Rivers, the former Boston head coach, told one of his favorite tales: He famously collected $100 from every member of the Celtics' traveling party on a road trip and stashed the money in the ceiling of the visitors locker room at the Lakers' home arena. (Rivers' legendary motivational tactic actually took place after a February regular-season game against the Lakers in 2010, and the Celtics returned to collect that money in the NBA Finals).

On Christmas Day, the Cavs and the NBA remember basketball is still a kids’ game
CLEVELAND, Ohio — On Christmas morning, a child will unwrap a basketball. Someone will get new kicks. Maybe even a brand-new hoop in the driveway, where a kid pretends they’re playing at Madison Square Garden.
But before the television settles on NBA games as background music to laughter filling living rooms, the game is already reminding everyone who it is for. Kids.
And the Cavs, back on the league’s biggest holiday stage for the first time since 2018, may need that reminder more than anyone else. Kenny Atkinson admits that sometimes, even he forgets.
“I got upset today,” the Cavs head coach said even after their blowout win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. “We were up 23, and I think they cut it to 18 there in the fourth quarter. And I started to get upset.”
