The NBA All Star Game has a show, solidarity goals and a large share of memories. Team LeBron dominated the first quarter, but Team Giannis leveled before the end of the first half , in a game that premieres format in Chicago.

After the tribute to Kobe Bryant, it was time for the All-Star Game between the LeBron James team and Giannis Antetokounmpo. And the Los Angeles Lakers figure found complicity in his teammates to take the first quarter by 53 to 41.

In that initial section Anthony Davis, James's partner in the Angelian set, added 10 points. And in the cast of the game James Harden stood out . The Houston Rockets man gave six assists , including a pass for the LeBron allley-oop.

Team Giannis woke up in the second quarter , in which he won by 51 to 30. A triple almost from the middle of the court of Trae Young closed a favorable period for those of Antetokounmpo, who went to the long rest with a total of 92 to 83.

This year, the All-Star Game puts into practice a new competition format.

The first three quarters are counted separately . The team that takes each of them pockets 100 thousand dollars to go to charities. If there is a tie in any period, the bag is divided equally.

Finally, before the last quarter the partial results are added. And the objective marker is established : 24 additional points to the scoreboard with which the team that is in advantage arrived. Another gesture for Bryant's memory: 24 was one of his characteristic numbers (he had used 8 at the beginning of his career).

Whoever ends up winning the game will keep 200 thousand dollars more to allocate for solidarity purposes.
