World Team beat USA 150-141, Murray named MVP

Murray scored 36 points

NBA
In year three of the USA against the World format, the World came from behind to grab a 150-141 win, thanks to big performances from New Orleans Pelicans guard Buddy Hield and Denver guard Jamal Murray. Murray, a Canadian native, got hot late and knocked down a total of nine threes, finishing the game with 36 points in 20 minutes and winning game MVP honors. The Bahamas native Hield went for 28 points and 6 boards, but took a back seat to Murray down the stretch as Murray couldn’t seem to miss. “I was just shooting like I normally shoot,” Murray understated after the game. “I wasn’t trying to think about MVP or how many points I had, I was just playing.” He later admitted, “I wasn’t second-guessing. I was just taking heat checks.” The World team led 77-66 at the half, but Team USA pulled ahead in the second half behind the play of Charlotte’s Frank Kaminsky and San Antonio’s Jonathon Simmons. Kaminsky finished with 27 points to lead Team USA, and Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 24 points and 11 boards.
