2026 Kia Shooting Stars Recap

Team Knicks sets the bar in each round on their way winning the 2026 Kia Shooting Stars competition.

LOS ANGELES – The New York Knicks are 2-for-2 on championships this season. They won the Emirates NBA Cup in December, and Team Knicks won the Kia Shooting Stars competition at 2026 NBA All-Star Saturday.

Team Cameron (former Duke stars Jalen Johnson, Kon Knueppel and Corey Maggette) gave the Knicks a tough score to beat (38) in the final round, with the 46-year-old Maggette going 3-for-3 on long-range, 4-point shots. But Team Knicks (legend Allan Houston, along with All-Stars Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns) blew past it, draining five 4-point shots to finish with a final score of 47. Brunson drained what was ultimately the game-winner, and Houston drained another at the buzzer for good measure.

Team Knicks also had the highest score in the first round, tallying 31 points, with three 4-point buckets. Team Cameron advanced with a score of 24, thanks in part to going 2-for-3 from the left corner. Team Harper (Ron Harper and his sons Dylan and Ron Jr.) and Team All-Star (Scottie Barnes, Chet Holmgren and Richard Hamilton) were eliminated with scored of 18 and 16 points, respectively.

The Shooting Stars competition returned after a 10-year hiatus, and this was Houston’s second Shooting Stars title, as he teamed with Landry Fields and Cappie Pondexter to win in 2012.
