Foreigner, it's time for the NBA to live on 2K Sports, this is Kevin Harlan alongside Clark Kellogg and Greg Anthony. They will join us tonight on the bench. The East All-Stars will face the West All-Stars so the East All-Stars get first possession now. Let's take a look at the

star

ters for the East All-Star Game, we have Tatum Donovan Mitchell is there with Irving and it's Durant and he's under Jacumbo and in the center filling the middle so the East can put the first points on the board in the church outside LeBron outside the shot clock at six This one grabs the very dangerous lady to lead a guy like that open fluke there for the Deep and James picks up the foul well, that's his first foul Paul George is registered by Williams and a change here also for the violence of the East registered right now here is Irving here is Giannis and nothing good G from LeBron and then James will bring him to the West outside to curry they recover him yokich that is another look and LeBron with the Nice Cube Inside, you know, James came into the league in 2003 and despite that fact, he still plays with the desire and enthusiasm of a rookie looking for offensive boards at times in the East, you know, you know, although sometimes you can be too open.

I think he may have surprised them and that's why he missed Pastor Brown on the way back to Irving and uses the glass on the way up. I tell you that Kyrie is an absolute wizard inside, I mean, it's obvious that he works on his finishing, but he works on the big guys also do drills, which makes him even more impossible to deal with. I don't know if we've seen a better finisher in the history of the

game

who's 6'5 or short. East All-Stars on offense Brown, well guys that's just Outstanding Confidence from Brown, I mean getting up with the shot right away and not giving the defense time to react.

That is amazing. Here's George. Here's George. The shot is good on Jordan's assist. There are PCs creating for a

team

mate. that big mobile OneDrive for the second time and you gotta love the aggression he had, getting him to the rim there sets the tone in a close

game

like this nice ball movement here by East Tatum kicks Mitchell off Irving five to shoot and he beat that one who lost the West Trails by three passes, George, hurry up with him, he's covered by Irving, that's against Jokic, the best rebound of the East All-Stars in the decumbs, I got four rebounds in this game, Let's check with our reporter David Aldridge.

Well I had a chance to catch up with head coach Mike Malone, now he really enjoys the camaraderie, this weekend gives everyone a break in the season, they can breathe a little, enjoy the events, enjoy the game, and said we couldn't come. A more perfect moment for his

team

, they have been working all season, so this is the best of both worlds, thank you. David and the Eastern All-Stars decide to take their first time abroad here. Sharon Jackson replaces LeBron James. Alexander signed up. for lugadanches and it is for rent for curry now here is Halliburton, that good design of autobio, bad design, there defensively they know that he is a takedown shooter from that place and you don't want to let him

star

t early because that will get to cook Halliburton against Morant for sure which is good and the best is Morant, the best young catalyst in the game, some people will say donches, some will say young Trey and some might even say John Moran, now here's DeRozan on George, no good from behind. rim and Marantz got the ball here for the West, it's a three-point game and clearly a foul gets the whistle and two shots coming, already embracing his role as a leader on this team.

Morant brings a strong work ethic with a winning mentality to this team this is his first free throw of the game foreign marketing is registered for the West oh good free throws from Morant foreign foul well they'll be happy with that look even though it didn't fall already You know what a confident Shaker is to him, I mean it's a shot he expects to make every time and it seems like Moran is always ready to outrun the defense, a lot of effort pays off for him in there, now here's Halliburton, There are still no points in the game for him and that's it. right side throws a two to four roast on the shot clock and the refs call the travel violation Joelle checked in for bam off mine here's gilges Alexander Great, everything you guys are doing is working right now, a good race, they are doing well. now the momentum is huge, take the three and it's not good that at that moment the East All-Stars go the other way with DeRozan with him guarded now by Jackson to Rosen that's fine, well you can see the excitement in the DeRozan's eyes these opportunities I mean, it's a knock down threat from there and he gets the bucket Moran, she got her second basket from the guy of the night, what a nifty play off the dribble, it creates just enough space to get the shot off DeRozan for three and that shot was on time, but we didn't get into a quarter in the books and it's been close so far, we've got all the stars ahead by one and we'll start things up in the second quarter when he comes back and we'll start again here In a second.

Pretty close fourth game so far and from what we've seen from the West All-Stars, what's your curse so far? Well, in that first quarter they intended to hit the ball down, yes, and it worked, they have a clear advantage. and points in the paint now we will see if they go with a more balanced attack or simply continue hitting inside the outside. Paul George is there with LeBron James, so that's Damian Lillard and it's time to have a shooting guard, so it's his on the floor for the West All-Stars George's shot is no good, you know, he finds it difficult sometimes finishing on The Rim is all you can ask of the defense, ask, it's always good to see Giannis get his teammates involved because he knows he can't do it alone Lillard pass outside to the dungeons there are the three Jalen Brown with the rebound it's a vacation envied against LeBron Brown inside the line that shot missed and the West will go the other way now the dungeons looking at it here is George, he is good, it is on his second basket, he is shooting two of four and we have seen several lead changes tonight, neither team gave it, yeah, and the leadership changed hands and it just didn't stay in those hands for long when it changed back and forth, now here we go.

It's Irving, Mr. Christmas shot clock at five o'clock in the kumbo trying to get loose Holliday's shot is no good James the best for the dungeons on the wing George is covered by Brown George against Brown's shot they are crushing the shot and they are making with authority and foul on the shot so he has a chance at the line clearly wow, yeah, he shot there, he earned those free throws and let's quickly look at the scoring breakdown here for the West All-Stars. I really like how they are. stabbing inside with confidence exploiting any opening they see in the defense taking advantage they are also getting into the defense's teeth points in the paint something coaches always love to see first in line is a good vacation really is a soft spoken person The kid on and off the court leads by example, he is extremely reliable and talented and his teammates have a lot of respect for him because of that and the East All-Star is making a change here.

Otto's biography recorded that is also good, so he already scores both free throws. a very confident player making those free throws only fuels the timeout taken here first for the West All-Stars Donovan Mitchells checked in for the east find George here's Lillard Sr. Dungeons the pass to jokic pocket four from D George Miss Adonis got her sixth rebound of the night and they got two. Jalen Brown got seven. I think that's where Brown is at his best. He is a muscular athlete who loves to finish strong through contact. That was 2K's drive, as that move deserves another look and release.

That pressure at the rim is what threatening with that attack is all about. Here's Willard, good for the basket, starting one by one with that shot and guys, they continue to put a lot of pressure on the interior defenders with their low work with a short shot. Breaking the action now gives us the opportunity to send it to David Aldridge. Thank you Kevin. Well, Kevin Durant learned an important lesson at age 11. His father prepared him one by one, getting wet on him and talking trash. Durant started crying and locked himself in his room but he realized why I'm so angry.

It's good to be passionate, but channel it once you're off the court, let it go and be you again. Evan, great advice. David, thank you. Here's Doncic after the basket. the East All-Stars on the other end Wilkins trying to get free and it's there, he's got four this quarter. Well, LeBron James is clearly a tremendously talented Pastor, when a guy is open, he'll give him the ball, come on, chickens. Mitchell. and the Irving combo inspecting the court, it does not suit him, the West All-Stars will go in the opposite direction, that is a two from Willard and he misses on the right side of the rim, the East leads by three off of Irving, we have a step back the West grabs miss James now she has four rebounds tonight the judge moves on to jokic and will hit him when you play with Luca now doncics he is ready to find you if you are open so you have to be ready to receive outside Irving good ball movement here in the East Mitchell gets to Irving Caster Brown honest I vote to work on James and you know that almost seven feet tall is dangerous inside the defense really has to be physical with him if they want to have a chance to prevent them from scoring on the paint the Eastern All-Stars shooting their third and fourth free throws of the night thank you he's out in the first well probably a little draft in the arena tonight he's the last guy you expect you miss the target for that absolutely, for What the West ends up going with the new group, the East also changes.

Randall enters for bam adebayo DeMar DeRozan enters for Jalen Brown and Halliburton replaces Irving, sinks the second, a multiple MVP. I know what's really scary is that Giannis feels like now here's Morant six points for him, which is Alexander versus Mitchell Gilges. Alexander can't get it to go to Rosen against Jackson and another Miss East and West All-Stars with possession behind. two passes from Morant to sabonis The lady had the opportunity to tie there Giannis will raise it to the east one second separating the shot clock in the game clock shot Mitchell outside does not get it to go and will go to the line for two to one on gilgis Alexander and that's part of what Mitchell brings is the willingness to operate on the perimeter or get in there and mix it up on the interior.

The first free throw is good and the East All-Star is making a change. here, thanks and Mitchell drops them both with seven seconds left in the first half of the game, even the battle is on in this one, his wasted All-Stars lead by four and we'll be back right after halftime to start the third Fourth, it is the 2K. sports halftime show Hello again everyone, I'm Ernie Johnson Shaq is here Kenny is here, you are watching the NBA halftime show on 2K sports for the East All-Stars the first quarter even some good action During the period, since it was only one-point at the end of one, they had a very good second quarter and they currently have a four-point lead at halftime and from what we've seen so far from the Eastern All-Stars, Kenny, what? what is your conclusion?

They are running a soft offense. tonight creating a high quality motion shot Sharp As a Razor, this orientation is excellent, they are moving the ball well. I love the way and now Shaq, give us your opinion on the west house, their inside attack has been overwhelming, difficult to beat someone when they are. Living on The Rim, these guys are imposing their true physique and that will be enough for us. The third quarter is about to begin with Kevin Harlan waiting, we'll see him on the other side. In that first half we saw a fairly tight bet.

I'll soon find out what kind of adjustments were discussed during the half about what contribution, and even with the defense shadowing him on every trip down, he still finds a way to put together a great performance, well that doesn't surprise us any more than what we expect from him is that he can adapt and adjust to anything the defense tries to throw at him and after a couple of fairly close first quarters, the second half could be great as both teams try to gain an advantage. on the court right now for the Eastern All-Stars, get them there with Durant and then it's undertakumba and it's Mitchell and it's Irving in the only joke that the shot is from Giannis with a good guy who kicks Durant in the wing Mitchell I love antetokounmpo's Reed.

I mean, his basketball High Q is really impressive when it comes to alley-oop attempts. Pastor Curry passes it to LeBron with five on the shot clock, shoots from the wing and nails the jumper that James has. second basketball I tell you what it is it's almost like stealing seeing how the game plays for Missy the pass to Irving good ball movement here in the east triple krills the triple Irving has the lead at seven nowfor the East All-Stars like Dead Eye and outside shooter that we have in the league Urban has the ability to burn you from there, he falls on the Train, the real one comes at us and we go at you a little bit back and forth from long distance.

I love it, it's a great response and no matter what they've tried, the action just hasn't been able to deny them the ball inside on their side of foreign work by the Eastern All-Stars, that's a surprise, I mean, really misplaced to miss when the defense is not up to par with him. Irving is doing a good job there being creative and efficient with that beautiful assistant now here is the joker James finds dungeus here is Curry is covered by Irving Tatum against Williamson and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and we will shoot too and you have to admire how Zion's tough play unnerves defenders and forces them to overcommit.

He's getting his first free throw attempt of the night right now. I miss Williamson's explosive athleticism. It's a lot of fun to see a guy his size move like that amazing one George has. registered for the West Damian Lillard enters for Stephen Curry the East also changes Otto's biography is reviewed against the combo Brown enters for Kevin Durant and it is a vacation for Mitchell the east leading by seven Brown out and there is the whistle violation of three seconds and now let's take a look again at that amazing rejection and the guys don't think twice about trying that shot again, that was a big rejection, the one time roster is making this change here, sabonis is marked overseas, it seems to be illegal. in the NBA, but it's hard to argue that that pick wasn't illegal, yeah, you know, referees aren't as lenient as they used to be on that call, in fact, I know I got away with it in a lot of my games. days but that was 40 years ago now here is Tatum still looking for his first bucket in this one to Tatum the shot is not good LeBron with a good deep five to shoot shots that a little long the East leads by seven here is Irving is good assist that time since the holidays Irving has five points in the fourth excellent fine that time before the holidays you are open Drew will let you know that was a second look at our Mobile One Drive incredible control on display and trying to extend this lead there is no better way in instead of playing with the North and the South chasing in the Lillard and it will be two free throws that will reach the officials in the decision with the foul and you know what you allow a guy to get right to the rim that way, that's your only option, yes, exactly.

Free throws are always better than a layup, so I agree with you on that, thank you, thank you, that's really good. Damian Lillard and known for being a decisive player. Dame has his sights set on titles. A true leader with a winning mentality who analyzes who she is. out there now for the West Jaron Jackson registered for LeBron and Shea Gilges Alexander replaced him with Luka doncic Julius Randles registered for the East Halliburton comes in for Irving that one misses Brown out of 151 remaining in the third quarter of the game is Randall opportunity to extend the lead to double digits, but it's not a good alert again and Lillard is missing and he did everything he could to make that shot as difficult as possible and you know which guys are going to cheer him on because he takes a lot of pride in what he does in defense now here's George following Drew Holiday's shot and it's Rosen instead of Brown there are 117 left to play in the third only Alexander will decide where to go with that well on the clock great open look there Marantz I got nine points and once it was come back a little more stable from Deep, be careful, Marant will be almost offensive.

Now here are the holidays. Here's MP and the decision on the shot that sends him to the line will go to Sabonis first as if CMV ended up like that. not afraid to get physical, not shying away from contact as they find them, the East All-Stars have shot five of six at the foul line tonight overseas and he makes the first clearly MVP-caliber. Talent now MB continues to impress with his versatility in both. ends such a big man shouldn't be able to do the things he does with the ball my remarketing was recorded for the West thank you he does one of two that time they can change two for one here would be the right move, I think At this moment, here is George throwing a foul when the whistle blows, he will shoot two free throws, well you really have to like how George uses his body effectively in the background.

I mean, the defense has no choice but to follow him in that situation, the West. The All-Stars have shot 67 from the line tonight going 4-6 overseas, here we go and it's good in the second 34 seconds left in the third off DeRozan Alexander against Holliday's football move here out east, yes, pocket six, baseline J and B, no. Well, it's George on the wing and that will be a travel problem, substitution on the court, goodbye, the third quarter comes to a club, the Eastern All-Stars up five and the basketball of the fourth quarter will come to you in 2K sports right after this. and wait now, as we take a look at our assists from the State Farm game, yes, a great unselfish play here set up his teammate and how about this one's setup?

Yeah, and as a two-guard he's usually not a reluctant shooter, so it was. It's really nice to see him orchestrating for a teammate instead of foreigner, as far as rowing here in the fourth quarter, LeBron James is there with the open, it's Morant and he's donchic at second, so it's his on the field for the West. Stars you say, hey, Kyrie's abilities are obvious, but what's not so obvious is his underrated strength. I'm glad we had the opportunity to see that fantastic drive once again in your work. Back to Morant's joke, James. up DeRozan defending and doing yoga wide open shoots a triple off the mark East leads by seven Mitchell finds DeRozan well it's Mitchell receiving the assist from the man DeRozan such a dangerous score there that the defense has to push him out of there Moran against Irving LeBron out 16 feet away, well when the jump shot drops, you know, in my opinion, LeBron is a very efficient mid-range shooter.

I like it when he takes advantage of that area of ​​the dribble outside of DeRozan, back to Mitchell, hard DeRozan on the wing. covered by LeBron outside of Irving's brother on marant here is Hansa tacubo counts the cubes and also has a free throw ahead of him. Few better than Giannis complete the play. Incredible strength plus excellent agility and some stats. Here guys, the scoring breakdown for the Eastern Stars. I'm in love with how they move the ball throughout the game and also their ability to move without the ball, that style makes it very difficult to defend and I love the fact that they kept the pressure on by really pushing the ball running. up on the court I love to see a team stay aggressive even when they are playing well, that's good outside of the combo, West Trails by 10.

Outside plays hit the Jay after faking to do everything he can with the quick refresh . away but they are still trailer Irvin kicks it to Brown he passes it to Mitchell back to Brown and the pass to Irving five on the clock Mitchell this is dionis and the rebound goes to the West All-Stars Joker just got his fourth rebound in this one so extra the low to jokic now Curry covered by Mitchell again to jokich again driven sabonis trying to get open now that one in the East All-Stars lead has been reduced to six in the bucket of Duchess Giannis outside on the wing Irving plastic Tatum now here's Mitchell shoots on Doncic and Mitchell gets him to go Mitchell went 2-3 from the field here's Curry again, the All-Star of the West, how about the ferocity of him right there, this guy is relentless inwards, yes, and a bucket in attendance? by Cumbo Hunter Tatum got his first points in this Tatum has a lot of options that he can use in his shots inside this guy is a fluid operator near the rim our timeout requested by the foreigner from West All-Stars tells you what was excellent executing from deep tonight he got what he wanted when he got the ball no attention was paid to the defense in his efforts he was in his own productive and dominant world he really seemed to feed off the hostile environment he has faced tonight and now we have some time to check from the sidelines that got us D.A Hey guys, I was able to catch what Mike Malone told his team, he said guys, we don't want to play hero ball we don't want to take. three-pointers that aren't there, there are better options when you run the offense all the way, we'll never see if they can make that adjustment, okay, David appreciates it a lot and pays attention to the combo with the ball, they'll take it east, absolutely the La most beautiful basketball play executed to perfection.

I don't think you're having an argument. Everyone loves the alley-oop. Less storm, that would be the difference. The East leads by 13. Tatum kicks Irving. Well, it's Tatum who receives Irving's assistance. nine points here in the second half, full effort and they show no signs of letting up, there are almost no holes in his performance tonight, they have been tremendous, it's the late reaction of the defense and he is always going to finish that Mitchell out . The brown one has good ball movement here in the east and it is Giannis missing the shot on the left side and two free throws come without being able to get that one to come out with all the content, it will be in Donovan Mitchell if you look at Luca playing hard, who always It's the The way he does it is a foul, but he keeps pushing and shoots playing through contact two, two, that good free throw from Doncic.

Luka Doncic is a superstar in this league and continues to build what will be something of a resume when it's all over. said and done he has all the tools you need to be an MVP someday jiren Jackson signed up for domantas sabonis foreign hits we both have 108 left to play in the fourth quarter Irving kicks Mitchell Some solid defense there from Jackson and that's a textbook example of how to defend the rim and you know guys, I love your fight and your courage inside. I mean, he never lets the shot remain contested. I like the recognition of the mismatch there, immediately making the defense. pay Irving vs.

Curry Irving kicks Mitchell passes it to Brown on the elbow for three Mitchell nailed it from three point land and this is what makes Mitchell dangerous his ability to get up immediately after catching that pass he shot is good There are 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter outside of Irving, so it's the East All-Stars who won easily. This was a very strong performance for him. Greg wasn't necessarily a landslide, but you're going to feel great about him and let's be real any time you can go on tour. and win the way they did, you've got to feel good about that, a truly outstanding effort all the way around and we'll get that done tonight, friends of our broadcast for Clark Kellogg, break from Anthony and David.

Kevin Harland thanks you for watching the NBA presented by 2K sports see you later
