The game could have went either way as as a game loaded with 2019 NBA All-Stars was uncharacteristically going National Lampoon's "NBA Blunder in Philly" as both teams down the stretch had bad live turnovers for TDs. In the end Stars being Stars making play after play!

The Thunder up 113-110 had the game in the bag well to their advantage until O.K.C. fouls 76ers Joel Embiid shooting a money ball as he knocked down all three from the stripe tying the game at 113-113.

On the ensuing O.K.C. possession never dribble the Spalding orange to the sideline unless you have a clear path and Dennis Schroder throws the orange to the middle of the hardwood as he was going out of bounds as Jimmy Butler picks it off for a easy lay in and a Sixers 115-113 lead.

Then a beautiful play call out of the Thunder time out with Paul George around a solid pick at the top of the key with Butler somehow getting caught up and  behind PG-13 and George gets fouled for an Money Ball make and 1 by of all folks the Butler who is one of the best on the ball defenders in the "Logo"!

PG-13 makes the free throw making it 117-115 and Butler misses a potential game-winning Money Ball and the final from Philly 117-115. That Embiid and Russ battle continues as Joel fouled Russ hard on a breakaway lay in and Russ appeared hurt only to get up charging or trying to charge Embiid...and Russ thought again that Smoke from Cameroon no one has ever seen so a stoppage by Russ was called...Lol!

PG-13 led O.K.C. with 31 points and six boards with Philly led by Embiid's 31 points and 8 boards with six helpers. Russ added 21 points and ten boards for the Thunder with Ben Simmons going 20 points with fifteen boards and nine helpers.
