     Kevin Durant was in Air-Jordan mode as he bagged his second All-Star MVP Title.

     Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant dished out 31 points with seven rebound and two blocks sustaining fiery form in crunch time of the fourth quarter leading Team Lebron in the 2019 NBA All-Star Game to seal a mastering 178-164 triumph against Team Giannis at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina last February 18.

     On the other hand, Damian Lillard stormed out back-to-back 20 feet three-point field goals in the third quarter to mount a spirited fightback from a 20-point deficit against Team Lebron outsclassing Giannis Antetokounmpo’s game-high 38 points and 11 boards.

      Team Giannis capitalized on a strong a start as Giannis already fired up a dunk at the first 11 seconds of the game following up an alley-oop from Paul George and another 180 degrees’ dunk keeping the lead against Team Lebron, 10-9.

     Despite of the tied up score at 7:18 mark of the first quarter, Khris Middleton was still able to register three consecutive three-pointers with Kemba Walker working on with his midrange jumpers and layup nailing Team Lebron at first quarter, 53-37.

     Team Lebron then tried to recover from the 21-point deficit as Harden and Ben Simmons bagged 10 points apiece with their three pointers and dunk but it was still enough to etch the lead against Team Giannis as Georg hacked out a 360 degrees’ dunk and Stephen Curry starting to work on with his three pointers, 82-68.

      Blake Griffin of Team Lebron jumped out aggressively as he forged two consecutive fade-away three pointers but still ended the second quarter with Middleton’s dunk, 95-82.

      George continued to ignite the game as he already accounted a dunk at the first 27 seconds of the third quarter with Curry's fade away three pointers for nine points apiece, 106-89.

      In the 2:58 mark of the third quarter, it was Damian’s time as he absorbed a stopper after committing back-to-back three-point field goals cleaning their way back in the third quarter with Bradley Bill's fade three pointer, 131-132.

      Team Giannis' power duo D'Angelo Russell and Curry didn't settle for bad defense as they leaned on consistent offensive stance with their midrange jump shots, dunks and three pointers for 14 points apiece in the fourth quarter, 148-153.

      However, Durant and Leonard banked on pure chemistry and connection as they sparked two consecutive alley-oops and three pointers with 21 points to stretch the lead and ending Team Giannis with a comeback triumph, 178-164.
