LeBron James took matters into his own hand on Sunday to ensure he remained undefeated in the reformatted NBA All-Star Game by burying the game-winner to cap off a 163-160 victory back home in Cleveland. James moved to a perfect 5-0 since the All-Star Game changed to its current iteration with a draft.
Even with James’ game-winner and 24 points, Steph Curry was the runaway winner for the inaugural Kobe Bryant MVP Award with a stupefying 50 points on 16/27 shooting FROM THE THREE-POINT LINE. Curry caught fire in the third quarter and had a half-dozen chances at surpassing Anthony Davis’ 52 points for the single-game record but came up short repeatedly, probably a result of shooting TWENTY-SEVEN THREE-POINTERS IN A GAME.
