Basketball fans who endured a five-month NBA lockout can enjoy a marathon of games Sunday, with five match-ups scheduled for Christmas day. The season tips off with the Boston Celtics vs. the New York Knicks. But perhaps the biggest game of the day will be a rematch of last season's NBA Finals, between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat. Other matches include the Chicago Bulls vs. the Los Angeles Lakers; the Orlando Magic vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder; and the Los Angeles Clippers vs. the Golden State Warriors. In November, NBA players and owners had reached a tentative deal to end the league's months-long lockout. At the center of the dispute behind the lockout was the debate over how much of the league's revenue share should go to players, including for pensions and medical benefits -- something their union funded in the past. Owners had sought to change the old revenue-sharing arrangement that gave players 57% of the revenue. The new deal offers a virtual 50-50 split.
