Kyle Kuzma won Rising Stars Challenge MVP and admitted he was motivated by the $25,000 bonus.

"Facts," Kuzma said. "I think it was the second timeout, and I broke the huddle by saying, 'Bonus-1-2-3.' So there you go."

Kuzma scored 35 points in Team USA's 161-144 win over Team World.

"I played last year and was lackadaisical," Kuzma said, "so I didn't want to do that again.

"There was a lot of great players out there, All-Stars, we're all young rising stars in this league. Obviously it's an exhibition, but it's always better to have bragging rights whenever you can."
