For the first time since 2008 the New Orleans Pelicans are playing on Christmas Day. They kick off the quintuple header at 11:00 AM against the Miami Heat. Last time they played on Christmas was also in Florida, against the Orlando Magic. The result then was a truckload of coal in the form of a 88-68 loss at the hands of Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu, and Rashard Lewis. New Orleans trailed by 15 after the first quarter and 30 at halftime. They trailed by double digits for 41 minutes and never held a lead.
