Lillard said when you and a teammate spend time together in a situation like this, you naturally turn toward each other.
“We had a lot of interactions.”
They discussed how they can turn the #Bucks around. – 11:22 PM

After 3: East 160, West 136
The East has gone 33-for-70 from 3 through three quarters. Damian Lillard leads all scorers with 33 points.
There was a brief level of energy to begin the game. It’s quickly gone away, and has essentially become a repeat of last year’s game. – 10:18 PM

East by 27. Dead silent crowd wakes up briefly for Lillard’s half court shot. His 33 probably make him the MVP frontrunner. 18 for Tatum. – 10:01 PM

East leading the West 104-89 at half. That’s 193 combined points.
Lillard has a game-high 22 points, Haliburton with 18 — all on 3s (6).
Lillard’s coach, Doc Rivers, is coaching the East and Haliburton is still on a minutes restriction.
Now, time for Jennifer Hudson. – 9:33 PM
