NBA All-Star Game: Tatum breaks All-Star record in Team Giannis win

TAYSON Tatum scored an All-Star Game record 55 points to lead Team Giannis to a 184-175 victory over Team LeBron in the NBA’s annual showcase.

Boston Celtics forward Tatum was named most valuable player (MVP) as he broke the previous record of 52 points, set by Anthony Davis in 2017.

Opposition captain LeBron James missed the second half after injuring the little finger of his right hand.

“It means the world,”

Tatum, now a four-time AllStar, said of his record.

“You think of all the legends and great players that have played this game.

“In all honesty, records are made to be broken. I’ll hold it as long as I can but I’m certain somebody will come along in a couple years and try to break it.”

Tatum’s Celtics teammate Jaylen Brown led Team LeBron with 35 points and a game-high 14 rebounds, while James exited on 13 points after hitting his finger
