Kawhi Leonard led all scorers with 30 points, including eight three pointers and earned the first renamed Kobe Bryant all-star MVP trophy

Unfortunately, that victory came via a made free throw, a boring ending to a thrilling night. Hometown kid Anthony Davis sunk it after he was fouled by Kyle Lowry, the six-time Raptors all-star, who had made some great late plays to get the game that far. Davis missed his first shot, but nailed the second and Team LeBron earned the 157-155 win.Giannis Antetokounmpo had 25, Kemba Walker, LeBron James and Chris Paul 23.

Team LeBron won the first quarter 53-41. As a result, Team LeBron’s designated community-based organization, Chicago Scholars, received the $100,000 charity award, much to the delight of the kids seated near the court who were cheering raucously. Team Giannis followed with a 51-30 second quarter win to raise $100,000 for After School Matters and the teams tied the third frame, with the money carrying over to the fourth.

When asked by Postmedia whether an all-star game should be able to end in that fashion, Siakam had a quick answer. “Yeah. I think we definitely can’t win on a free throw, Siakam said. “Like, that can’t be a way to end the game. So yeah, we were trying to complain there and get that , but it is what it is,” he said.
