Darrell Arthur had 19 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for the Nuggets, who had five players score in double figures. After the Thunder dismantled the Lakers on Wednesday night, Kevin Durant stated that “great players elevate your game, elevate the team, and [Kobe’s] one of those guys” during his post-game chat with reporters.

After a week dealing with speculation about his future, Louis van Gaal takes Manchester United to Stoke for the lunchtime game. Arsenal showed they are among the favorites to win the Premier League this season with their 2-1 win over Manchester City.
The retiring Kobe Bryant may not have the best game but his presence alone is enough for fans as he played his final NBA Christmas game by scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in 26 minutes of game play. Bryant had a three-point play, then hit a 3-pointer before setting up No. 1 draft pick D’Angelo Russell for a go-ahead 3 that capped the rally with 7:18 left in the second quarter.

Both Blatter and Platini are sure to take their appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport , with decisions possible in late January or early February.
Bryant later said he was laughing at Durant’s athleticism and lanky, long physique. “Defensively, we were locked in”. “That third quarter, they just blitzed us, man. They got ahead with their athleticism and their speed and their length, and we we couldn’t get the game under control”.
Unfortunately for the Lakers, that also means they aren’t going anywhere either this year and only have a rebuild to look forward to next year. As J.J. Redick put it: We’re not as good as we think we are. Westbrook and Serge Ibaka each scored 14 points in the half, offsetting 17 by Bryant.

Bryant, who turned 37 in August, will play in his 16th and final Christmas Day game on Friday – an National Basketball Association record. Overall, they finished with a 76-32 advantage.
Some may object Bryant’s appearance in the All-Star game during a year where he’s shooting just 34.4 percent from the field and has a player efficiency rating below 15.
That’s an understatement, according to Scott. I can get to the spots I want to get to – not as quickly as I want to get to them. Julius Randle and Nick Young are questionable. On Wednesday night in the Staples Center, the damage was done nearly entirely by a Thunder starting lineup that’s really starting to click, despite the struggles of its backups. Roy Hibbert averages 1.8 blocks per game. Oklahoma City continues their torrid pace against Western Conference teams, improving to 14-2 this season against the West.
Hawks 107, Pistons 100 – Jeff Teague scored 23 points and Paul Millsap had 18 as Atlanta recorded its fifth straight win.
The Lakers went on to lose to the Spurs by 22 and by 29 in Houston one night later. Michael Jordan has six of them. But within that recent stretch, including a game Bryant sat out to rest, has been the same old reality check: four losses by a combined 124 points.
