Team World - led by 29 points from Buddy Hield and 26 from Sacramento Kings teammate Bogdan Bogdanovic - took Friday's Rising Stars game at NBA All-Star weekend with a 155-124 win over Team U.S.A.
Bogdanovic was named MVP. The Serbian guard added four rebounds and six assists, and was 7-of-13 from beyond the arc. It's the second straight year that the World team has beaten the U.S., with Canadian Jamal Murray taking MVP honors last season. The Denver Nuggets guard added 21 points Friday.
Bogdanovic, 25, is averaging 11.5 points as a rookie with the Kings.
