Youthful USA Stars prevail in new NBA All-Star Game format

With youth on its side, USA Stars outlasted all challengers to come out on top during the new-look NBA All-Star Game on Sunday.

Tyrese Maxey scored nine points and Anthony Edwards added eight as USA Stars earned an easy 47-21 championship victory over USA Stripes.

The three-team round-robin tournament of short 12-minute games also included Team World, made up of international stars, and was the latest incarnation of the ever-changing All-Star Game format that went with four teams in a tournament-style bracket last year.
