NBA All-Stars run up the score
Home towner Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacer started the game hotter than July, hitting five straight threes. He ended the game scoring 32 points on an efficient 11 of 15 shooting overall and 10 of 14 from long range, including seven rebounds and six assists. He had a shot at the MVP but definitely it went to Lillard.
The Clippers Kwai Lenard had 5 points in 10 minutes of action while Paul George had 13 in nine minutes.
