Notable Christmas Day Nuggets
• Duncan Robinson dropped six points out of 3 in the first half to set a Christmas record. He ended up with 7 triples, drawing the mark of a single game set last year by Brandon Ingram and matched by Kyrie Irving a few hours later.
• Robinson’s accurate shot helped Erik Spoelstra improve to 8-0 on Christmas Day, setting the NBA record for the most lossless losses on the holiday. Spoelstra shared the record with Les Harrison, who coached the Rochester Royals for seven consecutive wins on Christmas Day 1948-54.
• Kevin Durant scored 29 points to enter the Top 5 on the Christmas Day score list. He also momentarily became the leader of all time on 3 points made on Christmas Day with 25. He drilled three at a distance to pass JJ Redick (24) and James Harden (23). James now shares the record with Durant.
• Zion Williamson (32 points) joined LeBron James (34 points in 2003) as the only players in NBA history to score 30 points at Christmas before turning 21.
• The Bucks’ 138-99 victory over the Warriors was the second most uneven score of any Christmas game in NBA history. Syracuse Nationals defeated the New York Knicks 162-100 on December 25, 1960.
