Russell Westbrook scored 31 points and earned game MVP honours in leading the Western Conference to a 196-173 victory over the East in the 65th NBA all-star game on Sunday, the first time the game was played outside the United States.
Steph Curry added 26 points — including a dramatic three-point shot with two seconds left — that drew a massive roar from the Air Canada Centre crowd.
Paul George had 41 points to lead the East, including nine three-pointers that broke the previous record of eight set by Carmelo Anthony (2014).
Kobe Bryant, playing his 18th — and final — all-star game, finished with 10 points, and received a standing ovation when he left the floor with just over a minute to play.
DeMar DeRozan had 18 points, while Kyle Lowry finished with 14 in the first time two Toronto Raptors were voted onto the all-star team.
