While Rome Flynn had a good showing on the hardwood, the game wasn't necessarily as exciting as everyone hoped for.

During the first quarter, both teams struggled offensively as they tied the game at 10 a piece. Team Bonds should've trailed by six points. However, due to the power-ups in the game, Bonds activated their crunch time buzzer power-up to double their score, which tied the game by the end of the quarter.

The All-Star Celebrity Game's pace picked up in the second quarter. Both teams found their rhythm, with Team Bonds specifically leading the charge. The MLB legend's team added 21 points, besting Team Rice's 15 points. However, Indo-Canadian singer AP Dhillon did all he could for Team Rice as he kept the game within reach of his team, scoring eight points.

However, Flynn matched AP's energy and scored 11 of Team Bonds' 21 points. With momentum by his side, Flynn proceeded to take over in the second half and ultimately came up with 22 points, eight rebounds and five assists.

Assisting the actor help Team Bonds secure the win was WNBA star Rickea Jackson. The LA Sparks forward scored 16 points to help out on the offensive load.
