As always, on Christmas Day, the New York Knicks will hit the court at Madison Square Garden. It’s basically an NBA tradition, despite the organization’s negatives in recent seasons, including multiple losing years and the loss of Kristaps Porzingis to a torn ACL.
However, on Dec. 25, 2018, the Knicks will face the Milwaukee Bucks. It’s a rematch with Giannis Antentokounmpo, who infamously declared his intentions to hit Mario Hezonja in his family jewels.
Entering this game, New York has actually played 55 times on Christmas — more than any other team.
