[quote=YVONNE,270737]The annual NBA All-star Game ended up with the East Conference's victory, which is a big surprise. Ray Allen scored 28 points, making three straight 3-pointers in the final 3:15, and LeBron James added 27 as the Eastern Conference, widely considered the NBA's weaker half, beat the Western Conference 134-128 in yesterday's All-Star Game.

Last year, the West humiliated the East in a 153-132 rout in Las Vegas when Kobe Bryant and Co. rewrote the event's record books. However, this time led by Allen's 14 fourth-quarter points and a stunning dunk by James with 55 seconds left, the East salvaged some pride and can return to the season's second half with bragging rights.

James, who added nine assists and eight rebounds, was the MVP for the second time in three years. He also won the honor in 2006.

"We didn't want to come out here and get beat up on again," James said.

Amare Stoudemire, Brandon Roy and Carmelo Anthony scored 18 points apiece to lead the West, which trailed by 13 entering the fourth quarter and rallied behind New Orleans' Chris Paul. The guard's seventh assist of the final period set up Roy's layup to give the West a 122-119 lead.

But Boston's Allen, the final player added to either roster, knocked down his second 3-pointer in 48 seconds to tie it before Paul answered with a 3 of his own, sending the hometown crowd into a frenzy.

Anyhow, it is good for basketball fans. A more balanced power between the East Conference and West Conference will showcase more spectacular matches to the audience.[/quote]
