Kobe Bryant finishes 6-10 in Christmas games after Clippers defeat Lakers

Kobe Bryant played his 20th and final Christmas Day with the Lakers. He had 12 points Friday, made a handful of shots and didn't get injured.

Despite a fourth-quarter rally, the Lakers lost to the Clippers an eighth straight time, 94-84, in a designated Lakers home game at Staples Center.

For all of Bryant's achievements, personally and teamwise, Dec. 25 was often unkind to him on the court. He finished with a 6-10 record in his Christmas career after making four of 10 shots Friday and adding three assists.
