These pair of bold three-balls from Curry broke the ice on an otherwise dull final, as stars like Trae Young and Kyrie Irving got creative with their passing game. Young found Victor Wembanyama on a no-look dime before Irving executed a bounce pass through his legs to Jaylen Brown.Â
Curry finished the game with 16 points on 4-of-8 shooting, all of which were 3-point attempts, en-route to being named the NBA All-Star MVP. Fans could be heard chanting “MVP” as he received the award at Chase Center in San Francisco, the home of the Warriors. In the two games, Curry combined for 24 points, 10 rebounds and three assists while shooting 7-of-17 from the field.
Suns’ Kevin Durant closed the night without a bucket in the final game as he missed his lone shot attempt in the final game. He had six points in the semifinal matchup against Suns rookie Ryan Dunn and the Rising Stars. Durant’s only buckets of the night were on uncontested dunks.
During a lengthy break in which the Inside the NBA crew was honored on the court, Durant was seen hanging on the rim trying to get warmed before the game resumed.
The Suns first game after the All-Star break will take place on Thursday in San Antonio as Phoenix takes on the Spurs. Game tips off at 7:30 p.m.

Who cares!! They just need to get rid of the game period or go back to they way it was East vs West. At least KD didnt get hurt!! LOL
The NBA has become a clown show. It seems to be getting worse every year, and I don't see any way for the league to recapture what it once had, what it once was. And I'm not talking about just the all star game, you couldn't pay me to watch that, I'm talking about the league in general. People don't talk about it anymore, my friends and family don't watch anymore, no one at work watches the NBA, I barely even watch games. All anyone cares about is the NFL now.
What will become of the NBA?
This unwatchable game was one of many reasons people hate the NBA... what happened to East vs West? Dumbo eared Silver is ruining the NBA. The whole weekend was senseless and a waste of everybody's time, just like the In-season Championship Tournament & the NBA Playoff play-in tournament. All of these games are hard to watch anymore!
