We try to give the game what it deserves, because it's given us so much, we try to give it right back,' he added.James was playing in a record 19th Christmas Day game and took the occasion to take a gentle swipe at the NFL's encroachment on the day.'I love the NFL but Christmas is our day,' he said.Mikal Bridges and the New York Knicks edged Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs 117-114 in a thriller at Madison Square Garden.French star Wembanyama put up 42 points with 18 rebounds and four blocks for the Spurs but Bridges took the glory with a brilliant 15-point fourth-quarter display that left him with a season-high 41 points and the win.The 20-year-old, who stands 7-foot-3 (2.21 meters) tall, was drafted number one overall in the 2023 NBA draft
