LOS ANGELES – As he sat on the bench, Stephen Curry munched on popcorn and appeared intent on watching an exciting show.
It took a while. But eventually, the All-Star teams that Curry and LeBron James assembled offered an entertaining finishing after laboring through a boring start. It was not exactly how Curry wanted it to end, though, as Team James secured a 148-145 victory over Team Stephen on Sunday.
Curry had the chance to play the hero on the final possession. But he met a swarm of double teams before finding teammate DeMar DeRozan, whose shot fell short as time expired.
