Game 2

A veteran USA Stripes squad got the better of USA Stars with a thrilling 42-40 win in Game 2 of the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.

San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox played the hero, nailing a buzzer-beating triple for the victory.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown was in fine form, leading USA Stripes with 11 points paired with three boards and a block. Three-time All-Star Game MVP LeBron James scored eight points as part of a balanced attack for USA Stripes.

Fox, who is appearing in his second All-Star Game, was a late injury replacement for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Anthony Edwards again led the way for USA Stars with 11 points and three rebounds. Like in Game 1, Edwards again drilled a late 3. Cade Cunningham also scored 11 points to go with three rebounds, four assists, and a block, while Detroit Pistons teammate Jalen Duren dropped seven points.

USA Stripes will play the World team in Game 3, while USA Stars will wait to see if a 1-1 record is good enough to book a spot in the finals.

Game 1

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Edwards led the way as USA Stars took Game 1 over the World team in overtime by a 37-35 scoreline.

Edwards scored 13 points, while Toronto Raptors defensive whiz Scottie Barnes did the dirty work with three points, five boards, two assists, one steal, and a block.

An extra frame was required after Edwards drained a late triple to tie the contest at 32 apiece. Barnes ended it with a 3 in overtime to reach the target score of five.

Victor Wembanyama fulfilled his promise to take this event seriously, scoring the first seven points for the World team en route to a 14-point, six-rebound performance that included an early block on Jalen Duren. Wembanyama finished with three blocks.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns scored 10 points off the bench as the international squad battled back from an early deficit before Edwards tied it late. Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija recorded five points in his maiden All-Star appearance.

USA Stars will now face USA Stripes in Game 2.
