Christmas Day has been good to the Miami Heat and Dwayne Wade in particular. They have won six straight games on December 25th, and Wade has lost just once in ten career day games on the special day. One year ago, they knocked off LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, 101-91, despite entering the game with a 13-16 record.
Meanwhile, New Orleans will be appearing on Christmas day for just the second time in franchise history. Back in 2008, the then-Hornets and Chris Paul were stomped by the Orlando Magic, 88-68.
