Steph Shines, LeBron Sinks Game-Winner in Storybook All-Star Ending

It was the perfect end to a perfect night. On the same night that the 75 best players to ever play in the NBA were honored in his former stomping grounds of Cleveland, LeBron James came away with the game-winning shot.

The first team to 163 points won the game. With the score 161–157, Steph Curry—a three-pointer away from setting the All-Star Game points record—was given the opportunity to hit the potential game-winning three-pointer, but missed. After Zach LaVine nailed a three on the other end to close the gap to a point, though, James wasn't letting anyone else take the last shot.
