The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) takes a rest today before returning with a bang via a Christmas doubleheader at the Araneta Coliseum tomorrow.


It’s unusual not to watch a PBA twinbill on a Sunday but I’m sure commissioner Noli Eala’s idea of calling a lull before the storm to celebrate Christmas Eve is much appreciated by the fans.  


Besides, playing on Christmas Day has become an institution of sorts in the pro league. And Christmas Day crowds are traditionally overflowing.
