Shaq’s OGs won the first All-Star mini-tournament in NBA history on Sunday night, getting 15 points from Tatum and 12 from Stephen Curry – three of them on a half-court shot, the sort of highlight the All-Star Game is known for – to beat Chuck’s Global Stars 41-25 in the final.
The OGs got into the final with a win over Candace’s Rising Stars, while the Global Stars beat Kenny’s Young Stars in the first semifinal.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of Oklahoma City scored 12 points, including the clinching basket, and Chuck’s Global Stars advanced to the title game by beating Kenny’s Young Stars.
The fourth team – Candace’s Rising Stars, which earned its way into the All-Star tournament by winning the Rising Stars event Friday night – was named for another TNT analyst, Candace Parker.
It was fun for the winners, for certain: Dallas’ Kyrie Irving of the OGs carried the All-Star trophy into the Global Stars’ locker room after the game.
