Team Giannis got the best of Team LeBron on Sunday, leaving Salt Lake City with a 184-175 victory behind Jayson Tatum's record 55 points.
James, who played in just one of the Los Angeles Lakers’ four games before the All-Star break because of a sore left ankle, did not play in the second half of Sunday’s game because of a bruised right hand. He finished with 13 points and four assists and extended his All-Star career points record to 426.
"I tried to get one little chase-down block, and got my finger caught in the rim," James said."But I'll be fine. I'll be fine. I don't think it's too much to worry about. For precautionary reasons, I just had to take the rest of the night off."Giannis Antetokounmpo sustained a sprained right wrist in Thursday’s victory against Chicago. While he says he’s fine, he did not participate in the Skills Challenge on Saturday, and after starting the All-Star Game and dunking 15 seconds into the game, he immediately fouled Luka Doncic and exited the game with 11:40 left in the first quarter. He did not return.Mitchell scored 40 points and had 10 assists, and Lillard had 26 points for Team Giannis.
