A few hours after being included, for the twentieth consecutive year, in the starting lineup of his All-Star Game team (it is a record, which he previously shared with Kareem Abdul Jabbar with 19 selections), Lebron James led the LA Lakers beat the Chicago Bulls 141-132. Lebron scored a double-double with 25 points and 12 assists, while D’Angelo Russell scored 29 points with eight three-pointers.
A dunk by Domantas Sabonis with 22 seconds left gave the Sacramento Kings a one-point victory (134-133) against the Golden State Warriors who, until the Lithuanian’s feat, had been ahead (132-133) for the first time in during the final 24 minutes of the match. In the end Sabonis himself finished in a double double with 18 points and 13 assists.
De’Aaron Fox also did well with 29 points. The 33 scored by Stephen Curry were useless for Golden State.
Triple double for Pascal Siakam (26 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists) in the match that the Indiana Pacers won over the Philadelphia 76ers 134-122, while the Boston Celtics, with seven players in double figures (26 points from Jayson Tatum) , they took partial revenge on the Miami Heat who had beaten them in last year’s Eastern Conference finals, winning 143-110. The New York Knicks also did very well as, led by OG Anunoby on a great evening, they beat the reigning champions Denver 122-84.
