Stories:
-Kevin Durant MVP
-Kobe Bryant passes Michael Jordan for scoring most points all-time in All-Star games
-Dwayne Wade becomes only 3rd played ever to record a triple-double in All-Star Game
-East down by 21, but rallied back led by James... only to lose because of two costly turnovers by Wade and James. In addition, to a questionable decision by Lebron to inbound the ball at the end, instead of getting the ball to win the game in the closing seconds, after "dominating" the 2nd half.
