The 2023 NBA All-Star Game was filled with rim-rattling dunks and halfcourt shots. Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum scored 55 points to break the All-Star game scoring record.
Fans enjoyed the flash plays and showed their approval as Team Giannis defeated Team LeBron 184-175 at the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City.
But defense was clearly optional Sunday night, and it’s something that irked Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone as he ripped the lack of competitive play in his postgame comments.
„It’s an honor to be here, it’s an honor to be a part of a great weekend, great players, but that is the worst basketball game ever played,“ Malone said.
