Kawhi Leonard

Playing in his home arena, Kawhi Leonard put on one of the most dominant individual quarters in All-Star history, erupting for 31 points in just 12 minutes on a scorching 11-of-13 shooting with six three-pointers. Leonard's explosion nearly matched Klay Thompson's NBA record of 37 points in a quarter, set during a regular season game in 2015, as he single-handedly carried USA Stripes past Team World. The two-time Finals MVP capped his performance by hitting a stepback three-pointer over Karl-Anthony Towns with 2.5 seconds remaining, clinching the 48-45 victory that eliminated Team World and advanced the Stripes to the championship game on February 15, 2026. Leonard scored 11 consecutive points during one stretch, going 7-of-7 from the field and 5-of-5 from three in a performance that had the Intuit Dome crowd witnessing basketball brilliance.
