The spectacular show of the best players in the league has come to an end in the National Basketball Association.
It was a stellar weekend in the NBA. His last event is traditionally the main show – the battle of all the stars of the league. This year, the teams of LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo met on the floor. Note that the latter, due to a wrist injury, could not hold a full duel. The Greek basketball player spent only 20 seconds on the floor and scored two points, then he sat on the bench until the end of the game.
But even without their leader, the Giannis team was able to defeat the opponent and win the match. Jason Tatum took the first team duties, becoming the conference’s most productive player, simultaneously updating several All-Star Game records.
The Boston basketball player scored 55 points, thus breaking the record of Anthony Davis (52 points in 2017). JT also holds the record for points scored in a quarter (27) and a half (38). For his performance, he was named All-Star Game MVP.
As for overall success, then there is no struggle. In the final quarter, LeBron’s team came out with a 17-point gap and, no matter how hard they tried, it couldn’t be completely won. So, this is the first time during the existence of the new cost center format that James has disappeared. The legendary basketball player won the last 5 matches.
