DeMar DeRozan made a modest contribution to the win with 8 points.
SALT LAKE CITY -- Jayson Tatum put on a record-setting show, and made Giannis Antetokounmpo look like a genius.
It was James' first loss in six times as captain. Antetokounmpo improved to 1-2 in his All-Star captaincies. Lillard, the winner of the 3-point contest on All-Star Saturday Night, made eight 3s -- including a half-court pullup in the third quarter. The league had a ceremony before the second half to pay tribute to the three leading scorers in NBA history: No. 3 Karl Malone, No. 2 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James, now the game's career leader after he passed Abdul-Jabbar earlier this month.
With the number 38,388 displayed behind him, James then raised his hand to thank the fans for their ovation, hugged Abdul-Jabbar and Malone. He didn't return to the game, his night ending with a right hand contusion. But his right wrist was wrapped, and that was an ominous sign. The injury kept him out of All-Star Saturday's skills event, limited him to 20 seconds in this one. He got an uncontested dunk to open the game, then took a foul and headed to the bench.
