Kevin Durant, Kevin Love's final competitor in the 3-point contest, had 36 points in an MVP effort, while Kobe Bryant set the all-time NBA All-Star Game scoring record. The West held off a furious rally for the second straight year to beat the East, 152-149.Deron Williams and Dwyane Wade both missed three-pointers in the final seconds that could have either given the East the lead or tied the game. Bryant had 27 points and broke Michael Jordan's All=Star scoring record, while LeBron James led the East with 36 points but didn't take either of his side's final two shots.
The West's top reserves were Russell Westbrook with 21 points and three-point champion Kevin Love, who scored 17.
The East never had a lead and trailed by as many as 21 in the third quarter, but made a run for the second year in a row.
