West Knocks Off The East In A Thriller

WEST 152 - EAST 149

Nailbiter, squeaker, whatever you want to call it.

The Eastern Conference cut a 21 point deficit to one in the final minute. Dwyane Wade (triple-double) had a chance to send them ahead but fumbled a pass from teammate LeBron James.

LeBron (36 pts) looked like he usually does at the end of close games,
defeated and rejected as the buzzer sounded. After scoring at will to bring the East back, he made some bad decisions in crunch time.

Kobe Bryant scored 27 points, moving past Michael Jordan as the career scoring leader in the All Star Game.

The star of the night was Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant. KD dropped 36 for the Western Conference and took home the MVP honors.

"It was fun," Durant said. "That's the type of All-Star game you want to see."

Saturday Roundup & ASG News

Congrats to Jeremy Evans of the Utah Jazz for winning the 2012 Slam Dunk Contest. Jeremy was a late replacement for Iman Shumpert. Jeremy had some pretty sick dunks this season so far, I figured he would do his thing in Orlando. For the first time ever, fans voted for the winner through text message.

In the 3 Point Shootout, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love took home the long distance trophy. Love is having a breakout year averaging 25 points and 10 rebounds.

With Knicks super fan Spike Lee looking on, Team New York had the touch from the outside and won the Shooting Stars event. The trio of former Knicks star Allan Houston, current Knicks guard Landry Fields, and Cappie Pondexter of the WNBA's New York Liberty took home the victory.
