Having received special approval from the league to participate, the 35-year-old Portland Trail Blazers guard beat Phoenix’s Devin Booker 29-27 in the final.

“In a season where I’m not participating, the league allowing me to come in and do something like this to get some competition, feel a little bit of pressure, to get in front of the fans again, it was a great experience,” Lillard said.
