The Spurs are playing Christmas Day again this year and we should be excited. The Spurs are being featured on national television, playing a weird team Rockets team that they should definitely beat, and they get to wear some pretty sweet jerseys while they do it (they’re Uni-Watch approved!).
Unfortunately, we can’t start celebrating just yet, because San Antonio has a history of poor play on Christmas. Overall, the Spurs are 4-6 when they play December 25th, and 1-4 in the Gregg Popovich era. Their last Christmas win came in 2008, when they just squeaked past the Phoenix Suns, 91-90.
