This year the all-star game was a repeat of last year’s teams as Kevin Durant and LeBron James were the captains again. LeBron looked to go 5-0 in this new format as he is yet to taste defeat at the all-star game. The highly anticipated matchup took off to a flyer and both teams traded dunks, 3 point shots in the first quarter. Both teams traded the first two quarters as they took a 100K to their respective charities. The third quarter was tied and with the new format, the game score to reach was 162.

It took a fadeaway jump shot from LeBron to seal the game as Team LeBron won 163-160. Curry ended with 50 points as he hit a record of 16 3-pointers for the game. He was rightfully named the MVP of the game.
