The Miami Heat vs. the Los Angeles Lakers battle it out on the court at the Staples Center in LA on Wednesday, December 25 at 5:00 p.m. EST. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Christmas Day game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
The Heat currently snag the no. 4 spot in Marc Stein's NBA power rankings for ESPN with a 21-6 winning record:
"It's not just LeBron's ridiculous shooting that we can't stop talking about. The Heat, folks, are shooting .515 as a team. The only team since Michael Jordan's retirement to shoot 50 percent or better for an entire season is the Steve Nash Suns in 2007-08 and 2008-09. That's the list."
Meanwhile, the Lakers hold the no. 18 spot with 13 wins and 15 losses (out of 30 teams):
"You know the Lakers would never go for it -- not with Kobe back in six weeks and not with what they charge for tickets -- but fading into the lottery really is the wisest thing they could do for the future. Their only two previous lottery trips begat two All-Stars: Eddie Jones and Andrew Bynum."
The game will be broadcasted live on ABC, but fans can also listen in on the radio at ESPN 1380,ESPN 760, 940 WINZ, 710 ESPN, 1240 KSMX, 960 'The Talk,' and ESPN 1380.
