Team LeBron defeated Team Durant 170 – 150 in the Elam-ending finish to the 2021 NBA All Star Game punctuated by a Damian Lillard 40-foot pull up 3-pointer. Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo would win the Kobe Bryant NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award with his perfect 16-of-16 shooting performance that netted him 35 points to lead all players.
Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum represented the Boston Celtics in the annual event, with Tatum scoring 21 points, 7 assists and 4 steals and Brown putting up 22 points and 5 rebounds as the latter helped lead Team LeBron to the win.
In an extraordinary event reflecting one of the most unusual seasons in league history, the NBA managed to pull off the event with few hitches, and the Celtics representatives managed an excellent showing in it.
