Team Lebron James put up a scintillating show to triumph over Team Durant in an NBA All Star game on Sunday night.
Lebron’s team controlled the game from start to finish and eventually came out with a 170-150 victory.
The MVP accolade went to Giannis Antetokounmpo who led the way with 35 points on 16-of-16 shooting.
“You know, usually it is closed [on Sundays],” Antetokounmpo said with a smile, when asked about the banked-in jumpers, “but for me, it was open extended hours.”

The Greek fought for the MVP trophy alongside some other greats in the clash like Steph Curry (28 points and eight 3-pointers) and Damian Lillard (32 points and hit the game-sealing 3-pointer) who led the way.

It was great to finally see the All-Star game being played after it was consistently hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Initially it was supposed to be played in Indianapolis but it was instead moved to Atlanta.
The skills challenge took place first with Nikola Vucevic and Domantas Sabonis advancing to the finals before the Pacers man took the crown.
In the 3-point contest, Stephen Curry, Mike Conley and Jayson Tatum advanced out of the first round before the Warriors star turned up the heat with a score of 28 in the finals.
