Russell Westbrook, Steph Curry help West set scoring record in All-Star win
- 8 years ago
Kobe Bryant — playing in his final All-Star Game in his final NBA season — dominated the story line right up until tip-off of Sunday’s game.
Then, the game’s younger stars took over in the most defenseless of All-Star contests.
The West defeated the East 196-173, setting several scoring records, including most points for one team and combined points in a game.
Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook scored 31 points and led five players from the West with at least 20 points.
He was named All-Star MVP for the second consecutive year.
