Unfortunately for Indiana fans, they have precious few memories of Christmas games to choose from – and even fewer that were worth celebrating.
The Pacers have played just five Christmas Day games in their history. Once during the franchise’s ABA days. Four times since joining the NBA in 1976.
That’s the fewest for any franchise that’s been in the league every year since the NBA-ABA merger.
