The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports [heraldtribune.com]
Anthony Davis had an All-Star Game for the record books. [...] He scored 52 points, 10 more than Wilt Chamberlain's All-Star record that had stood for 55 years, and the Western Conference beat the Eastern Conference 192-182 on Sunday night--the highest-scoring game in league history.
Davis made 26 shots and took 39, both of those also All-Star records. He even outdid [Russell] Westbrook, who had 41 points in just 20 minutes--which ordinarily would have been enough to merit him what would have been a third straight MVP award. Not this time. It was Davis hoisting the trophy.
[...][Kevin] Durant had a triple-double with 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.
[...]LeBron James scored 23 points to become the first All-Star to eclipse 300 in a career.
