Despite a game-high 28 points from Pacers guard Victor Oladipo, Team Africa fell 108-97 to Team World during Saturday's NBA Africa Game 2017.
The exhibition, which featured star players such as DeMarcus Cousins, Kristaps Porzingis, Kyle Lowry, and more, marked just the second time any of the major four North American professional leagues have held an exhibition game on the continent of Africa.
Luckily for the fans in Johannesburg, South Africa, the game featured more competitive flare than most All-Star games, with Team Africa getting within just one point of the lead in the final minutes of the game.
