Miles Bridges Wins MVP of 2020 Rising Stars Game, Zion Damages Rim

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges took home the MVP award in the 2020 Rising Stars Game at All-Star Weekend as Team USA knocked off Team World, 151-131.

Bridges finished the victory with 20 points, five rebounds and five assists.

Team World led 81-71 at the break but scored just 50 points in the second half, compared to 80 points from the American team. The game was full of high-flying finishes that often rivaled those seen in slam dunk competitions.

It also featured Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson physically damaging the United Center rim just before halftime after catching a lob pass from Hawks guard Trae Young.
