Team LeBron won 170-150, and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo took MVP honors by scoring 35 points in 19 minutes and shooting 16-16 from the floor.
Wizards guard Bradley Beal, making his first All-Star start had a nice game — 26 points on 16 shots, including 6-12 from three-point range. Washington is surely hoping the 50% shooting from long range is a harbinger of what Beal does post-All-Star break.
Overall, Beal joined Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum as Team Durant’s top performers.
