NBA All-Star Game 2019: Kevin Durant Wins MVP as Team LeBron Beats Giannis (February 17, 2019)



Team LeBron is officially on a winning streak at the NBA All-Star Game. The LeBron James-captained side won this year's version of the annual event over Team Giannis 178-164 Sunday at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. James' squad defeated a team captained by Stephen Curry in last year's All-Star Game, which was the first with the new conference-less format that makes the top vote-getter from each conference draft the teams.

James finished with 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists, but it was Kevin Durant who took home MVP honors with 31 points and seven boards. They were part of a balanced effort that allowed Team LeBron to overcome a 20-point deficit in the second half. Klay Thompson (20 points), Kawhi Leonard (19 points) and Damian Lillard (18 points) were among the 10 teammates who finished in double figures.

Captain Giannis Antetokounmpo spearheaded his team with 38 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, but it wasn't enough to overcome the second-half blitz from Team LeBron.
