Luka Doncic got as much enjoyment out of his second All-Star game Sunday night in Atlanta as he did out of his first All-Star game last year in Chicago.
In the starting lineup for Team LeBron for the second consecutive year, Doncic helped his team to a spirited 170-150 victory over Team Durant at State Farm Arena.
“It was fun,” the Dallas Mavericks’ superstar point guard said. “There were a couple of fans – but not the whole arena so it was different. But I had fun anyway.”
Team LeBron raised $1.25 million for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund for winning the first three quarters and the game, while Team Durant raised $500,000 million for the United Negro College Fund.
