THE Eastern Conference edged the West 141-139 in the NBA All-Star game yesterday before the largest crowd ever to watch a basketball game.
The crowd of 108,713 at Cowboys Stadium watched most valuable player Dwyane Wade score 28 points before Dallas native Chris Bosh made the winning free throws with 5.0 seconds left. The West had a chance to win it, but Carmelo Anthony's 3-point attempt came up short.
The biggest cheer of the night came earlier, when Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones came onto the court to announce the record crowd, which was also the largest in the US$1.2 billion building's short history.
They were booing at the end when Wade went to the line and made two free throws with 12.7 seconds left. Dirk Nowitzki of the hometown Mavericks equalized with two of his own five seconds later before Bosh put the East on top for the final time.
Wade, the MVP of the 2006 NBA finals when Miami won the title in Dallas, added 11 assists and six rebounds. LeBron James had 25 points, and Bosh finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
Anthony scored 27 and Nowitzki had 22.
