Team Stars left no room for suspense in Sunday night’s NBA All-Star finale, rolling past Team Stripes 47-21 to secure the showcase title.
How it unfolded
Team Stars seized control immediately, converting 61 percent of their shots and dominating virtually every statistical category. The relentless start created a gap Stripes never threatened to close.
MVP performance
Anthony Edwards set the early tone and finished with eight points, earning Most Valuable Player recognition for his all-around impact throughout the evening.
Supporting cast
Tyrese Maxey paced Stars with nine points, while Jalen Duren and Scottie Barnes contributed six apiece. Cade Cunningham did not score but directed the offense, recording two assists and a block.
Stripes struggle to score
Team Stripes managed just 26 percent shooting from the floor and connected on 4-of-19 attempts from long range. Kawhi Leonard, explosive in the semifinal, was limited to one point. Jaylen Brown added four and LeBron James five.
After three tight contests earlier in the program, the championship matchup turned into a one-sided display that ended as quickly as it began.
