Team LeBron wins the NBA All Star Game with Giannis Antekoumpo winning the Kobe Bryant MVP award with 35 points going perfect for the night.
Stephen Curry — who had 28 points and hit 8 3-pointers — and Damian Lillard — who had 32 points and hit the game-sealing 3-pointer — who led the way. The three fought for the MVP trophy down to the end, with Antetokounmpo ultimately winning it.
This All-Star Game, like everything else about this season, was inescapably altered by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Originally scheduled to be in Indianapolis, it was instead moved to Atlanta. Only a handful of fans were in the stands, and strict quarantines were in place for everyone involved.
Atlanta native Jaylen Brown hit a 3-pointer with 1:33 left in the first quarter to ultimately give Team LeBron a win in the first quarter. The second was far less competitive, as a 27-8 run over the final 3:54 of the second allowed Team LeBron to take a 20-point overall lead into the halftime break.
Team LeBron also won the third quarter by a single point and took a 21-point lead into the fourth quarter and, with the “Elam Ending,” Team LeBron simply had to score 24 points before Team Durant scored 45.
Who you thought should’ve won the MVP?
