The fourth, and perhaps most anticipated NBA Christmas Day game did not go the way that many expected. Led by Lebron James, the Los Angeles Lakers got out to a tremendous start, and led by 15 points at halftime.
But a few minutes into the third quarter, "The King" left the game with a groin injury after falling awkwardly while trying to get a loose ball, and didn't return. Almost immediately, the Warriors went on a big run to get right back in the game.
At that point, pretty much everyone assumed the Warriors would eventually pull away with the game. Instead, Rajon Rondo took control of the game and propelled the Lakers to a 127-101 win.
