In the end, Booker dominated and led his team to victory, leaving Allen to say this after the game:

Booker got 69 kills in one game during the series:

He also received support from his fellow NBA players, who believed Booker should have made the NBA All-Star Game:

Booker's success shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as he's a known gamer who was even playing video games streamed on Twitch when he found out the NBA's season was suspended March 11, per Kellan Olson of Empire of the Suns:

His team's win isn't shocking either, as Simmons took the Week 1 MVP award:

Leonard did close out a round victory for his team, though, and was clearly happy with the result:

The NBA has been suspended in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Some players are taking part in video game tournaments in their downtime, including an NBA 2K contest airing on ESPN and SLAM's weekly COD event.
