The NBA All-Star Game is coming up fast, but teams still have a few games on their schedules before that. On Tuesday, the Warriors, Jazz, Sixers, Celtics, Lakers, and Hawks were among teams in action. Here's a look at five players who stepped it up to help their teams win.
Kevin Durant - Golden State Warriors
The Warriors continue to win games thanks to their lineup of stars. Tuesday night's top scorer was Kevin Durant who put up 28 points and also gave out seven assists. That performance helped his team defeat Utah 115-108 at home.
