Team Giannis fightback
The format guaranteed pure fun and entertainment for fans. Between the first and second quarters, captains rolled a die to determine the value of the four-point line. Team Giannis’ arc increased to seven points to Team Anthony’s eight. A first-quarter fan bonus spotlighted L.A. native Mustard and Key, with their made baskets carrying additional value.
Team Anthony capitalized early, edging ahead 16–14 after one quarter and stretching the margin to 34–26 by halftime.
Allen led the charge with 14 first-half points, attacking downhill and finishing in rhythm. Social media standout Adrien Nunez added 10, giving Team Anthony control entering the halftime break.
The second half belonged to Team Giannis.
The pivotal moment came during the fourth quarter’s “double-time” period, a two-minute window in which each team could activate scoring at twice its value.
With the game tied 55–55 and four minutes remaining, Team Anthony used its bonus but could not create separation. Team Giannis took full advantage to close the gap and then forge ahead.
When asked at halftime before leaving the court, Jeremy Lin had confidently predicted teammate Rome Flynn would repeat as MVP. The forecast proved accurate.
Flynn finished with 17 points, earning back-to-back Celebrity Game MVP honors with timely shots falling including two late-game back-to-back three-pointers.
