Best Tatum and Brown highlights from 2025 NBA All-Star Game victory originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

The Boston Celtics were represented by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown at the 2025 NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco on Sunday night, and both of them played a key role in Shaq’s OGs winning the championship.

The All-Star format was a little different this year. There were four teams competing in a single-elimination tournament. Shaq’s OGs beat Candace’s Rising Stars in the second matchup, setting up a championship game showdown against Chuck’s Global Stars.

Shaq’s OGs emerged victorious, and Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry won All-Star MVP. Tatum had a strong case for MVP as the game’s leading scorer with 21 points, but Curry was probably going to get the award on his home floor if it was close. Curry finished with 20 points.

Check out our recap below for Tatum and Brown highlights.

Shaq’s OGs vs. Candace’s Rising Stars

Tatum was among the starters for Shaq’s OGs and got involved early. He scored on a layup and blocked 7-foot center Zach Edey in the first couple minutes of the game.

A short while later, Tatum exploded to the basket on a drive and threw down a powerful two-handed dunk.

Brown made his first appearance after the first timeout, with Tatum still on the floor. The reigning NBA Finals MVP played a little defense to start with a nice contest on a Stephon Castle shot (see below). He also made a nice steal a few possessions later.

Brown missed his first shot (a 3-pointer), but at one point he scored eight straight points for Shaq’s OGs — a fast-break layup, a mid-range fadeaway, a dunk on a fastbreak and an alley-oop slam. This mini-run for Brown increased his team’s lead to 34-28.

Shaq’s OGs ultimately won 42-35 to advance to the final. Brown scored eight points and Tatum chipped in six points, two rebounds, two assists and one block.
