Luke Doncic scored eight points and dished out eight assists to help Team LeBron beat Team Durant 170-150 in the NBA All-Star Game Sunday night in Atlanta.

It was the second All-Star Game start for the third-year Dallas Mavericks guard. Doncic played nearly 32 minutes, the most of any player on Team LeBron. Kyrie Irving on Team Durant was the only one with more minutes with 32:14. Team LeBron, named for captain LeBron James, won each quarter and defeated Team Durant, named after captain Kevin Durant, by getting to 170 in an abbreviated fourth quarter.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was named the MVP after scoring 35 points on perfect 16 for 16 shooting from the field for Team LeBron. Doncic was 3 of 7 from the field, including 2 of 6 from 3-point range. He made one of his 3s from about 6 feet behind the line.

Before the game, Doncic was eliminated in the second round of the Skills Challenge by the Pacers’ Domantas Sabonis, who won the event.

Golden State’s Stephen Curry won the 3-point shooting contest and the Blazers’ Anfernee Simons beat the Knicks’ Obi Toppin in the finals of the Slam Dunk competition.
