All-Star Game Recap


 By Jason, Griffin, and Dylan (with help from Joe and Jeremy)

The East and the West played in the All-Star game and the East made a giant comeback when they were down by 18, setting an All-Star game record.

On Sunday night, the best players of the East and West played in the game, and it went down to the wire. Kyrie Irving and Carmelo Anthony led the way for the East, Anthony with eight three-pointers and Irving with 31 points. The East won the game 163-155. Anthony had 30 points, and his eight three-pointers were an All-Star game record.

Kyrie Irving took home the MVP award, and had 14 assists in addition to his scoring.

Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin each scored 38 points, and that helped to set a record for the most total points in All-Star game history. 20 out of Griffin's 38 points came from his 10 dunks, and that was the highest number of dunks in the game. Meanwhile, LeBron James scored 22 points and had seven rebounds for the East to help them win the game.

Chris Paul helped the West with 11 points and dished out 14 assists. Kevin Durant helped the West to build the lead with 10 rebounds, but the East out-scored the West 87-66 in the second half to complete the comeback and win the game.
