For much of marin and sonoma counties mid60s right at the shoreline, chillier than that. In the far north ukiah will be near 70 degrees tomorrow 67 at clearlake and 65 at st. Helena. The look ahead, mostly sunny side up. We are going to be looking at temperatures in the mid to upper 60s inland, mid60s around the bay. Extended forecast clouds on saturday, no rain coming for the bay area. We are looking dry all the way through new years day. And beyond. Thats the weather. The sports with gary gelfand coming up after a break. ,, everyone is watching. It means your a marquee team. For the second time in three years, the warriors have the night cap, in front of a nationally televised audien. Its an honor to play on Christmas Day. Everyone is watching. For the second time in three years the warriors play in front of a national audience. No love lost with the clippers. Things get chippie when they go head to head. Last year they had some fun. In their only meeting this season which was at staples lob city beat the warriors 126115. A former warrior now a clipper feels they are becoming one of the best rivals in the west even though they are both in the cellar. When youre starting to become one of the teams to be reckoned with when you do stuff you feel like you have accomplished a lot so i take my hat off to the team. Thats a hell of a team. But that definitely didnt sit well with us. Its a hostile environmental probably the most hostile in the league. I mean, dont get me wrong. I love the fans. Love you guys. [ laughter ] but its different out there. Its different. I mean, that will be a situation where the crowd makes a lot of noise like a college atmosphere. The crowd will be beginning for us. I know they like me out there but they still boo me. They give me love after the game. That shows how serious they are about the game. I dont know. How about seth curry, stephs brother, with the Santa Cruz Warriors of the d league making the leap to the nba but not with his big brother. Today seth signed with the grizzlies in 12 games with santa cruz the younger curry averaging a logical over 21 points a game. All right. If you are the nba champs and you have to play on Christmas Day you would think you would play at home. Instead, lebron and the heat traveled to face the kobeless lakers. Wade recently engage. Lebron took his talent to hollywood in a big way. That is just crazy. Amazing anything. Hello. Definitely worth another look. Take another look at this. He gets so high and just look at the concentration. Looking at the ball now, the basket he throws it n just truly amazing. Hard to say which one is better. 19 points for james. This one is another one later in the quarter goes right off the backboard. Another crazy dunk. The lakers kept it close and tied it in the 4th but then the champs putted through. Wade with the up and under. Heat beat the lakers, 10195. Russell westbrook of the thunder mopping the floor at Madison Square garden. They can do it all. Anthony with a bum ankle will be watching. 1st quarter westbrook with the alleyoop for kevin durant. Amazing. Westbrook tossing this up from half court. Perfect. Okc in control. The knicks were just bad. Off the backboard not blaming the shots instead blaming the sleeves because you notice the jerseys, darn sleeve in the way. Not much defense from new york. The durantula game high 21. The thunder beat the knicks 123 94, the biggest blowout win for a road team in nba Christmas Day history. The bowls looking like christmas sweaters. Not happy for the nets. Dunleavy taking it to the hole for two. Off the glass getting pounded. Nets 919. They couldnt do anything write. The bulls win 9578. Nothing like teams doing holiday videos. Most of these guys can play and almost none can sing. In the nhl the Ottawa Senators with one of the more notable videos. On the second day of christmas my true love gave to me. Two front teeth. Say, i need those, too. And a heritage plastic jersey. Whoo. All right. The dog howling in the background. Im not going to make fun of them because i think last year i tried to sing. I sing just like they do but i have my front teeth for now. A for effort. Give it to them. Captions by caption colorado comments captioncolorado.
