Westbrook powers West to record All-Star victory
Print Edition
RUSSELL Westbrook exploded for 41 points to lead the Western Conference to a 163-158 victory over the East in the 64th NBA All-Star Game on Sunday.
The sides combined for 321 points in New York, the most ever in an All-Star Game.
The Oklahoma City Thunder guard showed off his dazzling athleticism with a series high-flying dunks, once slamming home an alley-oop pass from Chris Paul with his head above the rim.
Having set a first-half scoring record with 27 points in just over 11 minutes, Westbrook went on to hit 16 of 28 shots — including five three-pointers — and added three steals as he was named the game’s MVP.
Westbrook came within one point of the All-Star record 42 points scored by Wilt Chamberlain in 1962 and finished a point better than Michael Jordan’s 40 scored in the 1988 game.
Leading the way for the East was four-time NBA most valuable player LeBron James of Cleveland, who had 30 points.
The game made All-Star history right from the start as the Gasol brothers lined up for the opening tap as the first siblings ever to start the mid-season classic. Pau Gasol of the Bulls won the tip from younger brother Marc of the Grizzlies and the game was on.
