ATLANTA (AP) — Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo (YAH'-nihs an-teh-toh-KOON'-poh) was the NBA All-Star Game MVP after scoring 35 points to lead Team LeBron to a 170-150 win over Team Durant. Damian Lillard finished with 32 points for Team LeBron, Stephen Curry had 28 and Jaylen Brown added 22. Bradley Beal led Team Durant with 26 points, two more than Kyrie Irving.
ATLANTA (AP) — Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is the NBA’s 3-point shooting champion for the second time in his career. Indiana forward Domantas Sabonis was the winner of the skills challenge, defeating Orlando forward Nikola Vucevic in the final. Portland’s Anfernee Simons came away with the Slam Dunk championship.
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy says defenseman Brandon Carlo “is feeling better” but remains week-to-week from the hit that earned Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson a seven-game suspension. Although no diagnosis has been released, Carlo was woozy leaving the ice after Wilson smashed his head into the glass. The NHL suspended Wilson for the fifth time in his career on Saturday, the day after his hit in the first period of Friday night’s game sent Carlo to the hospital in an ambulance.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Kyle Larson is back in NASCAR and back in victory lane. At Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Larson raced to his first NASCAR victory since he was reinstated from a nearly yearlong suspension. He ran just the first four races last season, then lost his job for using a racial slur while playing a video game early in the pandemic. He worked all last year on rebuilding his image and was hired by Hendrick Motorsports when NASCAR said the suspension would lift at the start of this year. Brad Keselowski of Team Penske was second in a Ford and followed by hometown driver Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin in Toyotas for Joe Gibbs Racing.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The long ball helped Bryson DeChambeau outlast Lee Westwood to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational, only the key shots were more with his putter than his driver. DeChambeau holed a 40-foot birdie putt on the front nine and a 50-foot par putt early on the back nine. He closed it out with a nervy 5-foot par putt for a 1-under 71 and a one-shot victory over the 47-year-old Westwood. It matched the low score of the day, one of only three rounds under par in the toughest final round at Bay Hill in 41 years.
