Durant earns All-Star Game MVP honours
Kevin Durant led Team LeBron to a 178-164 win over Team Giannis and was rewarded with his second career All-Star MVP award.
The Golden State Warriors forward was 10-of-15 shooting from the field and made six of his nine three-point attempts. He tallied a team-high 31 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in the victory on Sunday.
“This is definitely going to give me some bragging rights,” Durant said, as he will now get ready to return to the Warriors, where he plays alongside fellow All-Stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
This was Durant’s 10th All-Star appearance. He has scored 30-plus points in four different All-Star games, which is the most in history.
