kets. Westbrook's fifth 3-pointer put
it away at 158-149 with 2:22 to go.
Atlanta's Kyle Korver made
seven 3-pointers and scored 21
points for the East, while
Washington's John Wall had 19.
(AP) - Mixing Broadway and bas-
The West shot out to a 20-point
ketball, this NBA All-Star Game was lead, but the East chipped away and
a West Side Story.
Russell Westbrook scored 41
points, one shy of the All-Star
record, and the Western Confer-
ence beat the East 163-158 on Sun-
day night in the highest-scoring
All-Star Game ever.
Portland Trail Blazers LaMarcus
Aldridge had 18 points in 18 min-
utes and Damian Lillard had 11 points
in 16 minutes.
The Oklahoma City speedster had
a record 27 points by halftime and
closed out the scoring with two free
throws, falling one point shy of Wilt
Chamberlain's 42 points in the 1962
game. He was voted the game's MVP
at Madison Square Garden.
The NBA's return to New York
showed off everything about the
Big Apple, and by the time Frank
Sinatra's "New York, New York"
played after the game, it was clear
Westbrook was king of the hill.
James Harden added 29 points,
eight rebounds and eight assists for
the West, which built a 20-point
lead in the first half and then pulled
away after it was tied at 148 with a
little more than 4 minutes remaining.
The combined 321 points sur-
passed the 318 scored last season,
and the 48 3-pointers smashed last
year's record of 30.
LeBron James finished with 30
points, but couldn't lead the East to
the victory in his favorite NBA arena.
Harden's 3-pointer snapped the
final tie with 4:02 to play and Chris
Paul followed with consecutive bas-

cut it to 83-82 before pop star Ariana
Grande's halftime performance.
It was New York's first time host-
ing the NBA All-Star weekend since
1998 and a rare journey to the north
for the NBA, which has preferred to
stage the festivities in the warmth of
the South and West.
