NBA scores, games today: Nuggets vs. Suns live updates; Lakers, 76ers, Knicks, Wolves win on Christmas Day

Merry Christmas, basketball fans. The NBA is celebrating the holiday with more than 12 nonstop hours of hoops on Wednesday. The schedule features five games and some of the league’s brightest stars. It started with a thrilling Knicks win over Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs at Madison Square Garden, a near-comeback by the Mavericks and a close win by the 76ers. 

Those three preceded an epic showdown between LeBron James and the Lakers and Stephen Curry and the Warriors. James and the Lakers ultimately prevailed 115-113 on a last-second layup by Austin Reaves. Curry led all scorers with 38, including a tying 3-pointer with 7.1 seconds to play. 

James, who scored 31 in the win, is up to 507 points on Christmas Day, the most in NBA history. Additionally, James tallied his 11th victory on Christmas Day, breaking a tie with former teammate Dwyane Wade for most all-time. 

The day will wrap up with MVP frontrunner Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets facing Kevin Durant and the Suns.
