Scottie Barnes

Victor Wembanyama had set the tone all game, scoring 14 points and blocking three shots as Team World built a 26-17 lead before USA Stars rallied to force overtime in the tournament opener. With both teams one shot away from victory in the first-to-five overtime format, Scottie Barnes rose and buried the game-winning three-pointer that gave USA Stars a 37-35 triumph on February 15, 2026. The Toronto Raptors forward's clutch shot opened the 75th All-Star Game with instant drama, validating the new format and sending a message that competition had returned to the midseason classic. Barnes finished with just three points in eight minutes, but his one basket was the only one that mattered in a thriller at Intuit Dome.
