The team led by Lakers star LeBron James claimed victory in the 68th NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night, beating Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo's team 178-164. Team Giannis started out strong and initially had a lead, but James’ team rallied late in the game to overcome a 20-point deficit, with Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant crowned MVP for his 31 points. James brought the team 19 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. “We just started making shots,” Durant told TNT after the game. “Bradley Beal and Klay Thompson, that second group got us going. We took off from there.”
