Lillard won the All-Star MVP with 39 points, and Brown's 36 points fell short!
The NBA All-Star Game, February 19, at half past nine in the morning, officially kicked off! The scores of the East and West have come out, but after the opening, the Eastern team Haliburton seemed to steal all the show, he hit five three-pointers in a row, and a few long-range three-pointers, he easily scored 15 points, and it looked like he was going to fight for the MVP. Not to be outdone, both teams threw in three-pointers. For the entire quarter, the Eastern team had 27 three-pointers, while the West team had 15 three-pointers. Neither team's three-point line outside the line has much traction. The good news is that James' dunk and Durant's mid-range shot are still a bright spot. After the first quarter, the score was 53-47.
In the second quarter, the Eastern Conference started with a terrifying 17-4 run, with Lillard, Antetokounmpo, and Maxey on the bench bombarding wildly. In the west, the offensive end is more scattered, and they have not yet found an opportunity to attack. In the end, the Eastern team relied on their overall strength to play more in Liillard, and they took a 15-point lead at 51-42 in the first half.
In the third quarter of the game, James did not play, but chose to rest. Curry became a starter! In this game, James had only 4 chances on 10 shots in 13 minutes, scoring 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Lillard gets more passes and his individual scoring gets higher. Although Haliburton shot just 80 percent from three-point range, Lillard shot 33 points from three-point range, largely because of his dominance in the game. The whole of the East pulled the gap in the score to 20 points. Following this trend, it's unlikely that Lillard will want to pick up the Most Valuable Player. After that, both sides were substituted. In the third quarter, Oriental Sports held the advantage with a 24-point advantage.
In these fifteen minutes, Downs showed more strength and had a greater upper hand. The ** results in the West Region are mediocre, and there is not much suspense about the outcome of this game. While Jaylen Brown made more mid-range and three-pointers in the game, he scored 33 points individually. In this game that ended with 4:37 Eastern time, the Lakers ended the game with a 22-point advantage. Lillard hasn't returned! After a timeout, Lillard shot again, missed a three-pointer, and then another three-pointer, and still missed! Brown also played.
Jalen Brown seized the opportunity and hit another three-pointer to stretch Lillard's advantage again. Lillard missed a shot and hit another three-pointer to score 39 points! The Warriors in the East defeated the Western team 186-211, with Brown scoring 36 points and Lillard scoring 39 points to become the Most Valuable Player.
